Cretan Table

A table of flavors, stories, and connection.

At Ethimo, the Cretan Table invites you to share — not just food, but the experience of tasting together.
Local specialties are served in the center, meant to be passed around, discussed, and enjoyed with wine and good company.
From seasonal vegetables and locally produced cheeses to slow-cooked dishes and bold herbs, this is how Crete feeds both body and soul.

At our table, the land comes alive

Here, olive oil isn’t just an ingredient —
it’s an old tree, a shadow, a light.

Thyme arrives with the wind from the hills,
and the bread still holds the warmth of the oven.

Mizithra cheese softens gently on the spoon,
and wild greens whisper stories of the earth.

The wine — deep and smiling —
is meant to raise glasses
and say the things that words can’t.

We don’t choose our ingredients.
They choose us —
to honor them.

A Word from Our Chef:

It is memory — alive and present.
Yesterday meeting today, tradition passed on endlessly from one generation to the next.

It is the dough once kneaded by a grandmother, the village wood-fired oven, and the scent of thyme in olive oil.

It is the art of sharing without words — through a plate filled with memories of love.

At Éthimo, we offer roots, soul, and hospitality.

Here, every ingredient carries a taste of yesterday’s nostalgia to the doorstep of today.
