Omakase

When ordering Omakase you discover the menu as you dine. It becomes a surprise at the table…that’s the name of the game with Omakase. In these multi-course dinners the courses come out one by one. Each course has a different flavour and texture.
When ordering Omakasé you may like to meet the chef the day before you dine to discuss the menu which will best suit your taste. Choose from Kiku Omakase (5 Course Menu), Yanagi Omakase (7 Course Menu) or Sakura Omakase (9 Course Menu). In Japanese Kiku means chrysanthemum, Yanagi means willow tree, and Sakura is cherry blossom. Bon Appetit!
Zen Meze
Zen Meze© is influenced by the ambiance of the Notios area, where the waves come crashing in as the sun meets the horizon.
Offering meals in the meze style makes the experience more enjoyable for families or large groups. It becomes more than just a meal - it turns into a social event as the guests share the various dishes. The Zen Meze makes use of dishes from the Á la Carte Menu and we serve them in the meze style. As the various dishes are prepared they are placed in the middle of the table and the guests share them together.
