Oliviera - Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino
Greece
Oliviera at Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino looks over Navarino Bay while exploring contemporary Greek cooking. The kitchen works with farmers and fishermen in Messenia, with the chef's garden also contributing vegetables to the menu. Breakfast and dinner give guests two distinct ways to experience the restaurant. Recent dinner dishes include sea bass tartare à la Athinaiki, smoked vegetable briam and a Greek salad with garden produce and Polyfimos feta. Red prawns appear with Taygetos pasta and bottarga foam, while a risotto combines Messenian capers, Greek coffee and smoked butter. Sea bass cooked with onions, potatoes and Kalamata olives keeps familiar Greek flavours in view. House-baked bread and local olive oils introduce the meal.
