150 YEARS OF FLAVORS
Celebrating 150 years of culinary excellence, the Hotel Grande Bretagne marks this milestone with a spectacular anniversary menu, inspired by our Executive Chef, Asterios Koustoudis, recapturing recipes dating back to the middle of the 20th century and creating a menu of the olden Athens, including dishes that have starred at the hotel's historic events.
The Athenian salad, a recipe - symbol of the urban cuisine in the 70s', the timelessly impressive shrimp fountain, the renowned ‘Vol-au-Vent' emanating the elegance of the French cuisine as well as the ‘lahanodolmades' that held a place on the menus of the era honoring the Greek cuisine along with desserts like the nougatine, which traveled from the grand European lounges to the Athenian salons, will evoke memories and accompany you on a flavorful journey through time.
