CHEF IAKOVIDIS VISION:
“I like to reinvent myself in the kitchen, like when you take the fundamental aspects out of a traditional recipe in terms of flavor depiction and you’re going to interpret it in your own style. Embracing this philosophy, at Anthós Restaurant, we prepare modern variations of Mediterranean cuisine, more-whimsical seasonal and creative dishes meant to provoke conversations between diners and servers. Also, we pay a tribute to Greek cuisine with a menu bursting with island flavors.”
