Fresh food for you?
Our host is looking forward to welcome you personally. He has been representing the traditional rhodian
cuisine for over 33 years and is the heart of our Smaragd. Because of his jobs in different countrys all
over the world Georgios E. Markou speaks good english and german. Of course his greek is perfect and even
a little conversation in spanish or italian is possible with him.
Over 30 years ago Georgios and his wife Tsambika had the idea to go back home to Psinthos and set up a
rhodian restaurant with their traditional recipes and manufacturing processes handed down over the generations.
And so the Smaragd was born.
Nowadays everbody who wants to, can have a share in this art of fresh
own oranges
and homemade greek cuisine. And you will definetily enjoy it. Georgios E. Markou personally stands for dishes
only made out of special chosen and best quality ingredients. This starts with self baked bread in our traditional
oven, followed by fresh fruits from own cultivation and ends up in own and self produced olive oil and natural
herbs and spicery out of this region. For more information take a look at our menu.
These culinary delights will be completed with warm, genuine hospitality. Everybody is welcome to experience it.
So just have a talk with Georgios, he can give you really great hints for places around this area. He knows the
island like the back of his hand. Or just chill and chat with him a little while in front of the cosy platia and
the centuries old olive tree. Enjoy the typical greek savoir-vivre with a glas of country wine, greek coffee or
a cold ouzo.
