Menu dégustation

by Chef Dimitris Pamporis

When I first saw those plates, I wanted to take a brush and start painting again. The colors, the compositions, the shapes… I kind of felt the same surprise which I used to feel during an art history lesson… pleasant surprise and familiarity in the same time: two elements present during this menu dégustation, that Chef Dimitris Pamporis designed for the Apocalypsis Restaurant of the Patmos Aktis Suites and Spa Hotel and was kind enough to share with us.

I have no idea how a food writer would describe such wonderful plates, but the words imaginative, creative and epicurean delicious keep coming to my mind. So, what do we see in the photographs? Voilà, the five plates of this Greek, elegant, Mediterranean inspired menu:

Food of the day | My mother’s gemista

I have noticed that Greek people’s behavior as long as it concerns gemista, can be highlighted to the three following points:
- They love eating gemista
- They will almost never order gemista at a restaurant
- They all believe that their mother makes the best gemista ever

I do too. Yeap. My mother makes the best gemista in the world, and before her, it was my grandmother, who held the title of the master of my comfort food universe.
