Because we consider it of the utmost importance that all our food is freshly-cooked every day, we prepare a small number of portions of each dish daily. If, towards the end of the evening, you find that some of those dishes are no longer available, you will still be able to choose from a wide range of ‘a la minute’ dishes.
· All prices include 9% VAT on food and non-alcoholic drinks, and 19% on alcoholic drinks.
· Your waiter will bring one portion of bread, butter and olive paste to your table per person (at a charge of 1 euro per person). Please inform your waiter if you do not wish to have this service.
· The service charge is included, as well as 0.5% council tax.
· Frozen products (meat or fish) are marked ‘frz.’.
· We use pure extra virgin olive oil (from Kranidi in Argolida) in all our salads and tzatziki.
· We use olive oil in our cooked dishes and for all fried fish.
· We use seed-oil (at a temperature of 180°) in the deep fat fryer. This oil is changed frequently, depending on use.
· The feta cheese used in our cooking and salads is P.D.O (Protected Designation Origin) from Tripolis Peloponesse.
· The yoghurt used in our tzatziki and other dishes, is genuine Greek, strained yoghurt.
The Chef at Ivari
Gerasimos Katsaitis grew up in the kitchen of his family’s restaurant. After a career of some years as a hotel receptionist, his true vocation, that of chef, claimed him. Having done his training (Greek School of Tourist Education diploma) he continues his culinary education through seminars, books and the Internet. However, he doesn’t stop at the theory. He is primarily a kitchen craftsman; a lover of the aromas and sounds which are born at the moment of serving – that unique instant when artistic inspiration and theoretical knowledge are turned into food. And for that reason, for the last seventeen years, he has been working in hotels and restaurants both in and outside Athens, alongside famous as well as lesser-known chefs and cooks, who have all contributed to his development.
