The extensive menu revitalises familiar dishes, without losing Greek flavour. Dishes such as Cheese Pie with Arcadian Feta, Tyromalama, Cretan Graviera and Anthotyros or Grilled Fish of the Day with Wild Greens, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon highlights Koskinas’ regard for Greece’s culinary past.
An extensive wine list and signature cocktails are well worth exploring. Tasting menus also available.
