Global Talent and Local Flavours
At the heart of the Chefs Dinner series is the combination of global culinary talent with Santorini’s gastronomic tradition. Every month from May to October MAVRO will collaborate with international chefs and culinary experts to create a bespoke 6-course degustation menu.
These culinary masters, together with Chef Katrivesis will combine traditional Greek ingredients with modern techniques and global flavours to give guests a taste sensation.
Inspired by Santorini’s culinary scene the Chefs Dinner series will celebrate the island’s flavours, using locally sourced ingredients that reflect the terroir of the region.
From the volcanic soil that feeds the vineyards to the Aegean Sea, every dish will pay homage to the island’s natural resources and the talent of the collaborating chefs.
Inaugural Event with Michelin Star Chef Alex Dilling
The series started on the 18th of May with an unforgettable evening with Michelin Star Chef Alex Dilling from London’s Hotel Café Royal.
The tasting menu was carefully crafted to combine tradition and innovation, showcasing Santorini’s flavours through locally sourced ingredients grown in volcanic soil. Guests enjoyed each dish paired with fine wines from local vineyards against the stunning views of Santorini.
Chef Alex Dilling’s skills were on full display as he reinterpreted traditional Greek dishes with his own style. Each course was a reflection of his perfectionism, the flavours and presentation wowing even the most demanding palates.
From seafood to desserts every dish was a taste and texture sensation, a masterclass of a Michelin star chef at the top of his game.
