OPSON RESTAURANT

Unique dining

Inspired by the tastes and ingredients of classical Greece, Opson heralds a brand new dining experience.

For Food aFicionados seeking a truly unique experience unlike any other, the fine dining experience at Opson restaurant is a flavourful journey into classical antiquity not to be missed. In creating the menus, Executive Chef Stefanos Kolimadis looked towards Ancient Greek archaeology, literature and art and worked with experts and academics to source, test and perfect the best food that Ancient Greece has to offer. Combining history with contemporary gastronomy, dishes that Aristotle, Homer and Plato used to eat are translated into a fine dining setting concept that is ambitious and inspired in equal measure.

Bridging together points in time, the menu features unique dishes that make optimum use of the finest local produce, including freshly-picked vegetables and fragrant herbs from our own back yard, Santorini cheeses, capers, white aubergine and freshly-caught seafood and fish – as well as the island’s indigenous bright red tomato. Naturally, the accompanying wine list is as carefully put together as you’d expect showcasing local gems and international labels that perfectly accompany the innovative food. Regardless of whether you prefer fish, seafood or meat, one thing is assured: You’ll have a hard time picking your favourite from the enticing specialities at this shining temple of gastronomy. •
