Efisia: Unapologetically Authentic Fine Dining by Relais & Châteaux
Framed with its signature rustic rough-hewn stone pillars, Efisia puts a breath of new life into fine dining with its philosophy of 'nature' and Relais & Châteaux's commitment to impeccable service. Under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Ilias Maslaris, the restaurant’s heartbeat lies in its commitment to tradition and natural ingredients. In fact, right from his early life cooking in the heart of his grandmother’s kitchen, to his most recent success, this is where rising star, Maslaris, has always made his mark – infusing the passion from his younger years into authentic, Greek dishes that evoke memories.
“My grandmother lived in a small village in the mainland mountains and her kitchen was the engine room of the house. She cooked three meals a day for a family of twelve. One of her specialities that I like to serve is traditional slow-cooked lamb, marinated in herbs. But the special ingredient that will always make hers taste better than mine is of course the sweetness of memories.”
As Chef Ilias takes you on a journey through the heart of Greek gastronomy, you'll encounter traditional meats, seafood and other Greek delicacies - each bite carrying not just the richness of flavours but the sweetness of Ilias’ own memories. Ilias believes in educating the taste buds of young gourmets with savoury Greek delicacies – a lesson we’re all only happy to oblige in!
One can't help but appreciate the personal touch that Chef Ilias brings to his craft including his daughter's favourite dish, the salt-crusted silver snapper which reflects not just a father's love but a commitment to passing down traditions through the language of food. A restaurant that’s unapologetically authentic, it’s the perfect start to your stay at the Myconian Collection.

“Expect good food. Good feelings… and exceptional flavours”
In keeping with the Myconian Collection’s pursuit for all things local, all dishes are meticulously harvested with their farm-to-table promise in mind -meaning the freshest organic produce, local fish and farm-reared poultry. As Executive Chef Panagiotis Tsoukatos, was oh-too-keen to mention, trusted seasonal ingredients are essential to the practice of haute cuisine.
“I don’t believe in the kind of culinary complexity that overpowers natural flavours. I’ll take a piece of lamb or fish, cook it to perfection, perhaps glaze it a little and garnish it with fresh aromatic herbs, but the original flavours will remain distinct.”
In fact, as his colleagues fondly remark, any time Panagiotis isn’t in the kitchen, you can find him off searching for new epicurean experiences and innovations to bring back to his cooking. A whole new level of dedication and commitment, you can’t help but smile as you enter the restaurant, with the infectious enthusiasm that greets you at the door.
