From the Acropolis to the Forbidden City

Two ancient civilizations meet, not in contrast, but in quiet dialogue.

An evening where Greek and Chinese traditions are reinterpreted

through a shared language of craft, memory, and fire.

Chef KC Suen × Chef Peter Minakis

present a 5-course tasting experience

bridging two worlds at one table.

Each course thoughtfully paired with selected Greek wines,

guiding the journey from sea to land,

from warmth to depth.
