Dimitris Christoforidis and Executive Chef Christos Athanasiadis Proudly Announce The Grand Opening Of Their Newest ‘Nice n Easy’ Location In Kalo Livadi – Mykonos
Athens, Greece (PRWEB) July 03, 2013 -- ‘Nice n Easy’ is the newest addition to hit Kalo Livadi beach in Mykonos, Greece. The BIO restaurant was conceived and developed by Dimitris Christoforidis and Chef Christos Athanasiadis with their first location in Athens, Greece. This dynamic duo collaborated with multitalented Nikos Kopsidas and brilliant artist Nathan Makris on the design and Makris also is the creator of the artwork displayed throughout the restaurant. You should keep these pioneers on your radar, as they plan to launch more venues in other international locations. With over-the-top décor, from portraits of iconic legends such as Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Anthony Quinn and numerous others along with the jazz and classical oldies music playing in the background one will find themselves getting lost in time while taking it ‘nice n easy’ at the beautiful beach of Kalo Livadi.
Christoforidis and Chef Christos have developed a unique concept that is tasty as well as wholesome. The cuisine is fresh, the drinks are diverse and appealing and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. ‘Nice n Easy’ Mykonos runs by the same philosophy as the Athens location; using organic and local products. In the new Mykonos location you will find the restaurant beginning service in the morning hours until midnight! This spacious restaurant seats up to 250-300 people with plenty of room for an intimate setting or large groups. If dining on the beach is your desire, there are 200 beach beds and umbrellas just steps away where you can be served as well.
‘Nice n Easy’ has a menu that goes far beyond your typical Mediterranean fare," says owner, Dimitris Christoforidis, "We work diligently to develop items that span from the traditional to more adventurous.” Indeed, “typical Mediterranean” doesn’t come close to describing the classic inspired menu, which includes The “Sean Connery” (Freshly baked wild salmon with a herb and citrus crust on quinoa tabbouleh), the vegetarian friendly “Gavras” Special (Fresh mixed greens with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, sunflower seeds, in a mavrodaphne sweet wine dressing) and The “Marlon Brando” (Big Organic hamburger with bio beef meat from Arcadia, Greece). Other items include unique pasta dishes, salads, sushi and dessert selections such as: Fluffy lemon mousse with mastic yogurt sprinkles, Halva from semolina, with hazelnut praline and loukoumi ice cream and Buffalo milk rice pudding with lemongrass sorbet.
Products used in the ‘Nice n Easy’ kitchens are primarily from Mykonos and neighboring Greek islands namely Naxos, Kalymnos and Crete amongst others. Much of their meat products are brought in from their own buffalo farm located in Kerkini Lake, Greece. The wood fire oven they use brings freshly baked bread and a variety of casseroles to the tables of their customers daily. With their own local herb and produce garden they are able to provide an organically grown twist to their already healthy menu selections. “We strive to provide our customers the highest quality products using the purest ingredients,” underscores Executive Chef Christos Athanasiadis, “And we buy directly from local farmers and producers in Greece.”
