An Εpicurean world
With its stunning, hip yet sophisticated design blending
contemporary minimalist chic with the timeless surround-
ings of a gorgeous neoclassical mansion, Thioni restaurant
holds a special place in the hearts of the island’s gour-
mands. This is the realm of Chef Nikos Palantzas. Having
learned from respected culinarians, the much acclaimed
chef is passionate about making everything from scratch
and sourcing the finest possible ingredients. A keen appre-
ciation for food history plays a large role in the style and
flavors that he displays at Thioni. “Culinary art is a revolv-
ing wheel. It helps to remember the ideas and techniques
70
of those that came before us, while putting a modern twist
on flavors and presentation”, he emphasises.
