Miraggio Chef's Table 2020: Dimitris Kotsivos
The secret of a good chef is to always have a restless spirit at work. This is the belief of Dimitris Kotsivos, the third Guest Chef of the Miraggio Chef's Table 2020, an event scheduled for July 11 in Portofino:, one of the restaurants of the Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort, which focuses on Mediterranean gastronomy. Mr. Kotsivos will join forces with our Executive Chef, Mr. George Papadopoulos.
Mr Kotsivos, who currently works as chef at Bar-Restaurant Ciel, has studied alongside Zissis Kerameas, who brought French gastronomy to northern Greece and has worked with top Chefs, such as Dionisis Papanikolaou and Ettore Botrini.
His culinary philosophy is to keep intact the element of traditional, simplistic cuisine -with which we have all grown up- while applying modern techniques.
For the evening at Portofino, Dimitris Kotsivos suggests the following menu:

Three kinds of handmade buns (rye, milk, focaccia) / extra virgin olive oil from Olympos / tomato breadsticks and olive spherification
