Meet Head Chef Nikos Papachristodoulou
We’ve been working towards this moment for a while now, and it’s finally happening: the Domaine Florian kitchen is opening its doors.
Starting February 4th, we’re launching our brand new restaurant kitchen, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce you to the person behind it all — our new Head Chef, Nikos Papachristodoulou.
A bit about Nikos
Nikos comes from Edessa and has spent the last decade cooking his way through Greece and Europe — from Thessaloniki to Paris, Crete to Zakynthos, and plenty of places in between. He's held Head Chef positions in Thassos and Elounda, run kitchens at Villa Luna and Koru in Thessaloniki, and even spent time working at Thalassa and Evie Evan in Paris.
His cooking? He calls it Modern Greek — traditional Greek flavours prepared with French and Italian techniques he's picked up along the way. Think dishes that feel familiar but surprise you at the same time.
What struck us most when we met Nikos was how much he cares about the details. He's precise, he's dedicated, and he genuinely wants every guest to have the best possible experience. Most importantly for us — he's passionate about creating dishes that pair beautifully with wine. Which, as you might imagine, matters quite a lot around here.
The menu
Nikos has put together a carefully crafted menu specifically designed for Domaine Florian. Every dish has been thought through with our wines in mind. We've tasted it. It's good. Really good.
We're not going to give too much away — you'll have to come and discover it yourself.
Opening Week: February 4th
The kitchen will be open throughout the year Wednesday to Saturday, 19:00 – 23:00.
We're just 30 minutes from Thessaloniki centre, out here in Trilofos where the vines grow and the city noise fades away. Come for dinner, stay for the wine, enjoy the view.
