| Sapsila, Patmos (0030 22 470 33089). Open 1 June to mid-Oct, 7.30pm to midnight. The fashionable throng the flower-filled veranda of this romantic waterfront restaurant. Valentino, Caroline Hererra, and Richard Gere have all sampled the wasabi tuna, fava with fresh figs, and lemon crème brulee, courtesy of Benetos Matthaiou, who began his career as a cook in the Greek army. After a stint in Miami, Benetos set up shop at this restored farmhouse, where salads are picked from the organic garden. The menu is Med-Asian, the jazz is mellow and the staff gracious. A shot of sgropino (lemon sorbet with vodka), is the perfect palate-cleanser. |
