Greek Gastronomy by the Sea
Cookoovaya Antiparos is the celebrated summer extension of the renowned Athenian restaurant, situated in a stunning beachfront setting at Beach House Antiparos, about 8 km from the Antiparos port. The restaurant's core philosophy is "Wise Cuisine," which emphasizes mindful ingredient sourcing, a relentless quest for balance, and the artful enhancement of flavors through simplicity and wisdom.
The culinary approach is rooted in profound respect for ingredients, seasonality, and hospitality. Chef Periklis Koskinas leads the kitchen, presenting a Greek menu that seeks depth and flavor through simplicity. The menu showcases the best Greece has to offer, from spiny lobsters and groupers to dry-aged beef, wild mushrooms, and organic vegetables, adhering to a "nose to tail, root to stalk" principle where nothing is wasted. Dishes are distilled down to their essence, honouring Greek cuisine in its purest form.
The dining experience is one of "refined indulgence" and "quiet sophistication". A Sommelier curates a wine list focusing on new and independent producers, ensuring wine complements and elevates the meal. The kitchen philosophy promotes sharing, with plates meant to be placed in the center, enjoyed family style. Cookoovaya is also available to host various events, including private dining for smaller groups.
