EPSILON RESTAURANT

EARTH & SEA

Epsilon is the E for Eleftheria / freedom of mind to dream, to desire, to plan. Mind is captured by the sea & the fire, and starts its travel, and creates expectations. When reality meets the expectation, E for freedom becomes E for ‘Epitihia’ / success & Eftichia / happiness. Epsilon is the beginning or completion of a successful path

The Concept

Cooking over fire is a slow process. Its simplicity brings people closer, allowing them to slow down from daily pace. It is the contrast between everyday speed and patient flame that attracts people to the essence of fire cooking.

One could say that it is the oldest method of cooking. Every culture has a tradition of cooking with fire. Seeing our food being cooked over visible flames and gathering around this intimate sight is very appealing.

There is something about open flames that brings food and people together!

This is how the idea of an open fire restaurant was born in the heart of our city. Through its flavors, tradition is revived. Fire is authentic and primitive. Fire is alive. It has a soul.

The Team

“Cooking with fire symbolizes a much-needed sparkle in everyday life. It somehow brightens someone's day. This style of cooking will remain as long as humans exist."

Epsilon's culinary team reveal authentic flavors that literally 'come out' from the flames of a wood-fired oven or a traditional "parastia". He plays with the flavors by adding different types of wood over coals or other elements like sprigs of herbs.

"The high temperature that a bare wood fire can reach gives an extra layer of flavor and smokiness. At the same time, cooking over fire requires less oil, which makes the dishes lighter, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to emerge."

This ritual requires the instinct of flame control and judgment for the ideal cooking temperature of each material, which this cooking team possesses.
