Restaurant - Tavern Smaragd

A common expression says that behind every succesful man stands a strong woman. And this woman behind Georgios is his wife Tsambika. She’s an outstanding cook. Behind the scenes of the smaragd she creates delectabilites out of traditional recipes with her culinary skills. Tsambika loves to stay in the back to swirl in her own realm. When you taste what she originates in the back you can imagine what an awesome cook she is.


Tsambika is assisted by her mother who has been helping her assiduously for years. Thanks to her, that guests still get our natural, flavoursome bread made out of self ground corn. It’s a really healthy bread, because it’s only made out of best quality ingredients from own cultivation. And even today it’s baked in our smaragd’s own traditional stone oven, just as our rhodian stifado.


You can also meet Georgios mother here during the day. She is a real helpful and friendly old lady. She’s our expert in local spicery and herbs and knows all the tricks for flavouring our traditional dishes. And so it’s no secret who’s the keeper for our traditional grill recipes.


Our team is completed by Georgios and Tsambikas beloved daughters Jota and Smaragdi who can be found in the kitchen or attractively take care for our guests.
