Giannis Baxevanis

Our award-winning chef Our award-winning chef Giannis Baxevanis is credited with catapulting many underestimated wonders of the Greek flora onto the international culinary scene. Having learned the secrets of the Cretan diet (like wild greens and carob) alongside the island’s “veteran” old ladies, he has pulled them out of obscurity in an innovative way.

Fava with octopus The tender tentacle of an octopus, accompanied by caramelised onions, floats on a golden fava bean puree. This is one of our chef’s most creative syntheses, one of this summer’s images and flavours you are unlikely to forget. Fresh fava boiled with an onion and a bay leaf, the octopus - fished somewhere in the sea before your eyes marinated in wine and herbs.

White tarama salad with shrimps and carob bread The white tarama salad is at the top of the list of delicious and - at the same time - healthy appetizers, with minimal fat and abundant proteins, phosphorus and calcium. Select cod roe fished in the northern seas is beaten thoroughly with pure olive and sunflower oil, onion and lemon until smooth and creamy.

Carob bread - one of our chef’s personal delicacies - is a perfect match. The salad is adorned with whole crunchy shrimps.

Stuffed calamari Among the most popular kinds of seafood, calamari is usually known as a fried delicacy.

We offer it in a wonderful - and healthier grilled version, stuffed with fragrant wild herbs, such as the Mediterranean hartwort, sundried tomatoes and gruyere cheese.

Rucola-feta cheese salad with kadaifi, strawberries and lemon thyme sorbet It looks like an artful sweet dessert or an ice cream but is not - despite a layer of sorbet and kataifi pastry. It is a dessert but neither sweet or savoury. In all, it is an elegant composition of flavours that tease the palate - cottage and feta cheeses, thyme, juicy strawberries and a scent of butter, leaving an aftertaste of sorbet and rocket.

Seafood pasta in the oven Τhe average Greek eats more than 10kg pasta annually, and the hundreds of different pasta recipes no doubt require imagination and art. In Kivo’s well-tested speciality, our chef has gone for spaghetti.

He boils it in a light broth of shell fish and shrimps, spices it up with garlic, onion and basil, and adds some white wine and Neapolitan sauce.

Fish stuffed with Baxevanis’ herbs in the oven for one or more person A fresh fish exuding the smell of the sea is guaranteed to be a good one. But a fish stuffed with freshly cut vegetables and fragrant herbs becomes unrivalled: carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, leek, dill, hartwort and many others are matched with the smell of the sea to create this feast of a dish.

Lamb grown up by the sea On the one hand, lamb raised by the seaside and cooked in the traditional way, and, on the other, the puree of aubergine the queen of the Mediterranean vegetable garden - which is smoked and mashed until creamy. The refined flavour and the smoked fragrance of the puree is matched with the slowly cooked, crunchy and tender lamb.

Baklava by Baxevanis This “design” version of the traditional baklava dessert derives its name from its creator, our award-winning chef Giannis Baxevanis. It takes the form of a tower built by alternating layers of crunchy, thick filo pastry and a magic mix of spices, boiled or dried fruit and vanilla ice cream.

A joy for delicate palates!

KIVO Creative Greek Restaurant

Enjoy Greek meze at lunch time A meze does not merely mean an appetizer or a small, piquant dish. It is inseparable from good company, relaxed mood and conversation, as well as rising spirits that can easily lead to a feast before you realize it!

BOOK ONLINE AND GET A FREE TRANSFER www.kivo-bookatable.com It also means that all this is accompanied by ouzo, tsipouro, beer or wine. With one or two mezes you can sharpen your appetite for lunch or dinner; it’s also possible that a variety of mezes can suffice by themselves for lunch or dinner. In contrast to customary serving protocols, the sharing and picking of mezes from shared plates adds to the convivial mood.

An ouzo, tsipouro or retsina wine at noon, a cold beer when the sun is high or a chilled wine at sunset, all accompanied by Kivo mezes, turn into a true ritual in our superb setting and the light of the Aegean Sea.
