Athens’ Michelin Star Restaurant Heads to Santorini 

In what’s said to be one of Greece’s biggest restaurant openings for 2022- Grace Hotel on Santorini is set to welcome Michelin star chef Lefteris Lazarou and his iconic Varoulko dishes to this world-famous Greek island. 

Grace Hotel, a member of the Auberge Resorts Collection, has just announced the overhaul of their restaurant, appointing Greece’s Michelin-starred chef Lefteris Lazarou to head up Varoulko Santorini. 

The innovative, yet traditional Greek restaurant will offer guests ingredients of the finest quality, genuine respect for tradition, and a creative edge- creating the ultimate dining experience on the island and will open its doors on Saturday 15th April 2022. 

“Beloved Greek and Mediterranean flavours get an inspired makeover at the hands of culinary genius and Michelin-awarded chef Lefteris Lazarou,” announced Grace Hotel management.

“In keeping with Greek gastronomic tradition, at Varoulko Santorini wonderful tastes such as the chef’s signature squid with pesto Genovese or the crayfish tartar with fresh basil and zesty yuzu, come alive thanks to the island’s abundant fresh ingredient offering,” they add. 

While enjoying Varoulko’s signature dishes- including the exquisite squid with pesto Genovese, an emblem of Lazarou’s creativity, as well as the humble monkfish; guests are able to overlook the breathtaking Caldera and the deep Aegean blue sea, as Varoulko Santorini boasts an exceptional vantage point for enjoying the renowned Cycladic views. 

Opening hours: 12 pm – 6 pm daily for lunch, 7 pm – 11.00 pm daily for dinner
