Discovering the Origins

Arestea is a family-owned restaurant located in the heart of Athens, Greece. Keeping the culinary traditions alive for over four generations, this passionate family has dedicated their lives to mastering the art of Greek cooking.

The story of Arestea dates back to the early 1900s when Michael Arestea, a humble farmer, started selling his homemade olive oil and fresh vegetables in a small local market. The exceptional quality of his produce was quickly noticed by chefs and locals alike, and demand began to grow.

Over time, Arestea expanded its offerings, bringing farm-fresh ingredients into the bustling kitchens of Athens. The family soon realized that they not only wanted to provide quality ingredients but also showcase the full potential of Greek cuisine.

A Journey of Flavor

The menu at Arestea features a wide variety of traditional Greek dishes, each meticulously prepared using time-honored cooking techniques and complemented by the finest local ingredients. From the first bite to the last, every dish speaks of the passion and love that goes into Greek cooking.

Start your meal with a refreshing Greek salad, bursting with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, tangy feta cheese, and drizzled with Arestea's homemade olive oil. Let the flavors transport you to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean.

Indulge in their tender souvlaki, a classic Greek dish that combines marinated pieces of grilled meat with a side of fluffy pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fragrant herbs. The well-balanced flavors and melt-in-your-mouth texture make it a true Greek delicacy.

No visit to Arestea is complete without trying their famous moussaka. Layers of roasted eggplant, seasoned ground meat, and velvety béchamel sauce come together to create a symphony of flavors that will have you coming back for more.

I grew up the youngest of five children and like most traditional Greek families I spent years learning the everyday tasks that help make a house into a home. But of all those everyday tasks cooking was always my favorite. I always enjoyed helping my mother cook, even at an early age. I remember that she would put me in a chair by her side with a bowl and a spoon and I would mash away. I enjoyed every aspect of Greek home cooking with my mom. Whether it was learning from her how to pick the freshest fruits and vegetables or how to choose the best meats. My mom taught me that each of us has different tastes. For example I might like more garlic in a recipe and you may prefer less. Feel free to make adjustments that's what I learned to do over time. I have always enjoyed inviting a friend or two over and teaching them how to prepare some of my favorite Greek dishes. We always enjoy cooking together, the love and joy you put into each dish will shine through. My hope in writing this cookbook is to bring to you some of that feeling my mom shared with me through cooking.
