Gastronomie · Creative Greek-Mediterranean

Iliopetra

The city's most talked-about kitchen of the moment, hidden down a quiet upper-town alley near the Turkish consulate. Chef Giorgos Zannakis writes the menu fresh each day around whatever the morning market gives up, sending out precise, playful Greek-Mediterranean plates — vine-leaf 'sushi' draped with seabass, sea-fennel tarts scattered with edible flowers, fish cooked just-so in bright sauces. The room is tiny and the kitchen open, so you watch the cooking happen; book ahead, because word is well out.
