This year, the kitchen at MINASS is curated by the renowned and award-winning chef Michalis Martha. With experience in top restaurants in Greece and abroad, Martha has earned his place in the world of modern Greek gastronomy for his creative approach and sustainable philosophy.
From Rhodes to London, and from Amsterdam to Lefkada, Chef Martha explores the potential of Greek ingredients with a zero-waste approach and deep respect for seasonality. At the MINASS restaurant in Nydri, he signs a sea-inspired menu that combines technical excellence with strong elements of island tradition.
Simplicity holds its own kind of magic — especially when it begins with a fish freshly caught from the Ionian. The grilled fish of the day is a tribute to freshness, fire, and finesse. Carefully selected from local fishermen, it’s grilled whole over charcoal, with just a touch of salt, extra virgin olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon — letting its natural flavor take center stage. No heavy sauces. No unnecessary additions. Just the authentic taste of the sea, exactly as it deserves.
