Varoulko, pioneered in offering seafood prepared
directly from any other restaurant, not limiting its offering to
the classic Greek fish on the grill, but opening the floodgates
to a whole new style of cooking, where the fruits of the sea starred
in many unusual, creative dishes.
At the same time it also rediscovered the use of humble product
of the Greek earth in the kitchen and redeveloped forgotten” traditional
recipes
Lefleris tries to match his food
creations with a big variety of Greek wines produced in different
part of the country. Over the years Varoulko offered a stage to
local wine producers to show the quality of Greek wines and the
uniqueness of some indigenous grape varieties.
Homer referred to olive oil as the gold of the Greek earth. Lefteris
finishes every dish of his with a golden green signature from "Gáeá"
extra virgin olive oil Extra virgin olive oil should be added once
the food has been served on the plate in order to relinquish all
the rich aromas and the taste of the oil.
The movement of the hand of the Chef over the plate with the olive
oil bottle resembles that of a master painter with his brush over
the canvas.
