During the second act of Symposio, Rhodes’ landmark restaurant takes center stage at the Athenian Riviera on February 13th.
Bringing a touch of the enfant gâté of Greek gastronomy from beyond Athens’ borders to the urban coastline, Symposio at Ark introduces a unique twist to the capital’s dining scene. With authentic flavors as its vehicle, it transports guests to different corners of Greece, offering a culinary journey like no other.
From January 23rd to June 12th, at the home of the multi-awarded Giannis Baxevanis in Glyfada’s renowned dining spot, some of Greece’s most distinguished restaurants—along with international gems—present their interpretation of contemporary Greek cuisine.
Guests will have the opportunity to discover the latest trends in Greek gastronomy, explore the culinary culture of each guest restaurant’s region, and meet the chefs behind the menus, gaining insight into their distinct gastronomic philosophies.
Following Apostolos Altanis and Alfredo’s Grand Dining, which inaugurated this year’s Symposio at Ark, the baton passes on Thursday, February 13th, to one of Greece’s most exceptional and innovative culinary projects for the festival’s second edition.
Noble Gourmet, the restaurant that sparked the renaissance of Rhodian cuisine, is set to take the spotlight. Perched on the top floor of Elysium Resort & Spa, on the island of the Knights, it captivates guests at first sight with its breathtaking sea views, elegant ambiance, and meticulously set tables—both indoors and on its spacious terrace.
But it’s the extraordinary cuisine that truly steals the show. Rhodian chef Giorgos Troumouchis, along with his team led by Spyros Kougios, masterfully experiments with the island’s culinary traditions, elevating Noble Gourmet to new gastronomic heights. Their contemporary Rhodian culinary dialect unfolds through four tasting menus, often reminiscent of a theatrical and artistic performance.
