Avra
/
Avra is a family-owned Greek restaurant providing an exceptional blend of spirited cooking and gracious hospitality.
At the helm, Executive Chef George Skopelitis ensures the kitchen operates like a well-oiled machine.
A Michelin Star recipient, who captured hearts with his performance at the 2018 Hell’s Kitchen Season in Greece, George delivers a menu that heroes fresh ingredients sourced locally (as local as their own garden on the property) that is executed with great care.
We visited during one of the restaurant’s special music events. A regular occurrence at Avra which draws in the crowds, George takes these opportunities to go back to his roots, serving rustic dishes he grew up with. Deceptively simple and absolutely perfect execution is the name of the game here.
We loved tasting our way through the menu. The whole Sea Bream in a salt crust was a true highlight. The fish was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful. The ‘kantaifi’ shrimp served with luxurious white Tarama also deserves a mention. Think plump exceedingly fresh shrimp wrapped in 'string' pastry and fried to achieve a moreish crispy texture. Simply delightful!
