Chef Led Cooking Lesson & Lunch At Family Taverna

Cherish a lively morning with a Greek family and your Chef Instructor from The Culinary Arts Kitchen, learning the secrets of Mediterranean cuisine and savoring a magnificent luncheon. After joining your Chef Instructor, walk along the waterfront into the heart of Rhodes’ Old Town to the Hatzikelis Taverna, situated among splendid Greek ruins. You’ll meet your friendly hosts Zara and Giannis and learn how the restaurant sources fish and produce for their always-fresh seasonal menu. Tour the family kitchen and sip a glass of ouzo while you watch whole fish being cooked over an open flame or shrimp and lobster being cleaned. In a private area, join in the preparation of traditional Greek classics like tzatziki, stuffed eggplant or a Greek salad and relax with some local wine as the chefs create the delectable dish you’ll enjoy during lunch. Revel in the exquisite meal and the accompanying Greek wine, all of which have been carefully curated by your Chef Instructor and the chefs of Hatzikelis. Following your meal, you’ll have time on your own to absorb the enthralling ambiance of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
