French chef Jerome Serres opens his third restaurant in his adopted home of Athens
There's a love affair between Jerome Serres and the city of Athens, the kind of affair that involves passion and a lot of commitment. Before opening the restaurant that bears his name, the French chef was already known in the Greek capital: first at Spondi, one of Athens's finest restaurants, then at Pil Poul, famous for its incredible view over the Pantheon.



For his third and most important venture so far, Serres opted for the Eridanus Luxury Art Hotel and its attractive neoclassic setting. His decision was based on a wish to stay close to his former clientele while attempting to seduce a more international crowd. Judging from the endless reservation list, this strategy was clearly successful.



When it comes to the roots of Mediterranean cuisine, Serres makes no compromise: his dishes are both colourful and lighthearted, with a strong reliance on regional ingredients and a unique cooking style that owes as much to France as it does to Greece.
