About this Event

From the Acropolis to the Forbidden City

Two ancient civilizations meet, not in contrast, but in quiet dialogue.

An evening where Greek and Chinese traditions are reinterpreted

through a shared language of craft, memory, and fire.


Chef KC Suen × Chef Peter Minakis

present a 5-course tasting experience

bridging two worlds at one table.


Each course thoughtfully paired with selected Greek wines,

guiding the journey from sea to land,

from warmth to depth.
