The kitchen
The kitchen is set out by course, and what follows is the food from the house's own menu, section by section and line by line. It is the range of the kitchen rather than a fixed card — the sea decides a good deal of it, and the menu says as much itself.
No prices are printed here, because they move between seasons. The full menu is published as one document and the link at the foot of this page goes straight to it.

Recipes kept in the family
The pastry counter
Revani, kadaif, portokalopita and shendetli come off the dessert list, each of them with ice cream. The recipes were set down by an earlier generation of the family for its own counter, and the family bakes them still.
