Excellent new modern and innovative restaurant classic cooking with a subtle Greek influence. Reviewers until now claim they shall win a Michelin star in no time. Elea (Oud-Grieks voor ‘olijf’) is de term die de Griekse filosofen ooit gebruikten voor vernieuwing, vrijheid en uitdaging. Dit sluit naadloos aan bij de moderne en innovatieve kookstijl van Takis Panagakis. De chef-kok kijkt graag voorbij de klassieke gerechten en zorgt voor vernieuwing in de keuken met bijzondere gerechten met subtiele Griekse invloeden.
