Modern Greek · Old Town Xanthi · Est. 2014

A table built on fire, salt & season.

Twelve courses, one hearth, no menu printed twice. We cook what the morning boats and the mountain gardens give us — and nothing else.

The story

We don’t write the menu.
The day does.

Chef Eleni Vlachou came home to Xanthi after fifteen years in San Sebastián with one rule: cook only what exists within a morning’s drive. The fishermen know her by name. So do the cheese-makers in the Rhodope foothills.

What lands on the pass is decided at 6am, not on a printed card. Some nights it’s langoustine over vine cuttings. Some nights it’s a humble onion, cooked four ways.

The room

Twenty seats around
a working fire.

A converted tobacco warehouse in the old town. Stone, oak, candle. The kitchen has no wall — you watch every plate leave.

Dining room

In their words

“The most quietly confident kitchen in northern Greece. You don’t order — you surrender, and you’re right to.”
