Zoga News

Траттория Napole Zoga — это не просто ресторан на кикладском острове. Это — результат пути, который начался с мечты: создать гастрономический опыт, отдающий дань уважения местным традициям, природному ландшафту и аутентичности острова Тинос. Благодаря неизменной приверженности качеству, он превратился в одно из самых уникальных мест на Эгейском море, где каждое блюдо рассказывает свою историю. Эта история была сформирована талантливыми шеф-поварами, прошедшими через его кухню.

The renowned chef Tasos Mantis, who will be curating the dishes at ZOGA this summer, discusses sustainable gastronomy and the “from farm to table” philosophy. T. Mantis is in fact one of the eight chefs from across Europe whom the producers of the documentary series “Zero-Waste Chef” have chosen to represent the forerunners of sustainable gastronomy.

Zoga restuarant of Tinos was recently named one of the top restaurants in contemporary Greek cuisine for 2022 at the FNL Best Restaurant Awards 2022.

The BEST RESTAURANT AWARDS was established in 2016 supported by a multi-skilled committee of restaurant critics and food bloggers, to respected journalists and foodies from the world of gastronomy. It is an important and legitimate institution that awards the best restaurants in Athens, Salonika, Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, the Cyclades, and the Ionian islands with stars each year.

In July we organized an amazing wine tasting event at Zoga restaurant, offering the opportunity to wine lovers on Tinos to taste award-winning wines from Lykos Winery, such as Lykos Malagouzia, Lykos Assyrtiko, Lykos Panselinos Sauvignon Blanc, Lykos Kratistos Nemea, Lykos Cabernet Sauvignon Bio and more.

Our chef Tassos Mantis really impressed his guests by serving them special dishes that complemented the flavors of the wines perfectly; offering them a proper feast for their taste buds!

A very special and beloved group of friends arrived in Tinos for a short vacation: Mary Synatsaki (presenter), Nikos Moutsinas (presenter, actress, director, screenwriter), Doretta Papadimitriou (actress, presenter), Filippos Ioannou (blogger), Katrina Tsantali (author, entrepreneur).

They enjoyed the sun and the Cycladic sea, strolled around the picturesque alleys of the Chora, tasted the local specialties, and posted many of their photos in social media.

On Sunday, October 25th, 2020, the travelogue on Tinos starring the Greek singer Despina Vandi and chef Vaggelis Driskas was aired by the TV show "My Greece". A travelogue around the beloved island and its wonderful villages.

"Stay at the Aeolis Suites which are built on the mountain and stretch down the slopes to the foothills and rivers. Apart from the fact that it is a cozy, friendly, and extremely welcoming hotel, it has been blessed with stunning views of the Aegean. 

Do not forget to dine at Zoga, the hotel’s Restaurant, which presents first-class traditional flavours and a menu built around locally sourced ingredients. Try the eggs with loutza and volaki, the wild artichokes, the trachana with olives, feta and squid, and finally the wonderful rice pudding dessert." 

Nine renowned chefs together with three Greek restaurant reviewers and journalists, all of whom are especially faithful lovers of authentic and quality cuisine gathered under the Aegean starry sky at Zoga restaurant located within the AEOLIS TINOS SUITES to enjoy a menu supervised by Tassos Mantis, the famous chef honored with one Michelin star.

They engaged in a conversation about authenticity, aesthetics, the identity of flavor, and topics connected with travel and seasons that contain tradition and evolution and which return to harmony and memory.

“Simplicity is the peak of elegance” seems a fitting adage to describe the philosophy of @tasos_mantis who is the culinary director of @zogatinos at the lovely @aeolistinossuites. From the moment he took over the reins of the kitchen, he transformed the restaurant into one of the best in the island, presenting a series of elegant and modern dishes that stand out for the memories they evoke from the traditional Greek table. They have also made their own garden in the hotel, which can’t go unnoticed since it gives an extra dimension to the purity of flavors.

Λίγο πριν ταξιδέψει στην γενέτειρα της την Κρήτη, η Ελένη Πετρουλάκη επισκέφτηκε την Τήνο που αγαπά πολύ, μαζί με την οικογένεια της!

Η ίδια έβαλε φωτιά στο instagram με τις εκπληκτικές φωτογραφίες που δημοσίευσε  την ώρα που βρισκόταν στην πισίνα και απολάμβανε την υπέροχη θέα από το «Aeolis Tinos Suites» που βρίσκεται στο ορεινό χωριό Τριαντάρος, αφού πρώτα απόλαυσε το 100% υγειινό πρωινό της!
