Anna Tzogia - FOUNDER
I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece's 'second capital', famous for its tasty temptations of Greek cuisine. I grew up surrounded by my family, which shared a mutual love and interest in food. I would often help my grandfather tend to his olive trees, assist in the preparation of the olive oil and wash grapes freshly picked that day from my grandfather’s field.

My grandmother, hailing from Pontos, carried with her all the knowledge of Eastern cuisine. She is still a fantastic cook, and I learned a lot from watching her in the kitchen, passionately taking note of all the family recipes. I would often fish with my father, spending evenings tasting the fresh sea treasures of Greek waters. I spent hours listening and learning about the different tastes and textures of each one.

After being brought up with fresh foods and genuine experiences, whenever I travel, I endeavour to find the local hotspots of the city I am visiting. It’s invigorating to experience another culture so intimately; it electrifies all five of my senses and ultimately leads me to discover the most delicious, traditional foods.

I strongly believe that choosing good food is a matter of experience. Now, I strive to provide similar experiences to my clientele. I have spent years searching for authentic Greek restaurants, cafes, and food markets popular with the local Athenians. This way, visitors to our capital can feel the true Athenian vibe and eat the dishes that have been proudly passed through the generations.
