One table, one menu, one sitting.

Thirty seats of oak from a tree that came down above Vathy in the storm of February 2019. Dinner is at half past eight and ends when the conversation does.

How the evening runs

At half past seven the courtyard opens and Renaud pours a glass of unfiltered Assyrtiko. At half past eight everyone sits — guests of the house, outside diners, the chef in residence when the pass allows it. There is one menu. We do not flex the kitchen for individual orders, though we have never once failed to feed someone who told us in advance what they cannot eat.

Places are limited to thirty. Guests staying in the house have first call on a seat; the remaining places are released at noon each day.

At the table

The sitting

The sitting

20:30, one seating. Five courses, sometimes six if the chef has been to the market twice. Wine pairing of four glasses is optional.
The cellar

The cellar

Renaud opens the cellar at 17:30 for anyone who wants to see the wheels turned. It is not a tour and there is no charge.
The bread

The bread

Stamatia bakes at six. The bread you eat at half past eight was shaped before most of the house was awake.
