"Spondi, with a French accentIn the Pangrati neighbourhood, on a square whose terraces spring to life whenever the sun comes out, the restaurant Spondi occupies a group of maisonnettes clustered around a Mediterranean garden. In winter, dinner is served inside, at tables set out beneath a magnificent vaulted stone ceiling ; in summer, diners merrily decamp to the two outside areas bedecked with bougainvillaea and secluded by stone walls.For many years, Spondi has been a benchmark in the world of Greek gastronomy. A number of young local talents have cut their teeth here under the watchful eye of French chef Arnaud Bignon, who worked for a time for Éric Fréchon at Épicure. Returning to Spondi after a stint in London, the chef does not hesitate to ship exceptional ingredients over from France – turbot from Brittany and duck from the Vendée, for example. The star of the show is the restaurant's land and sea menu, a real showstopper that will satisfy even the most uncompromising foodie. And don't miss out on the generous cheese trolley – packed with dairy masterpieces from Greece as well as France and elsewhere, it is one of a kind. When it comes to wine, you can rely on the recommendations of the excellent French sommelier." - MICHELIN Guide
