From August 28 to September 6, 2024, Four Seasons Hotel Tunis’s scenic BLU Seafood Kitchen & Bar will be transformed into a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine. This special event, a collaboration between BLU, Four Seasons Hotel Tunis, and Taverna 37 at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, promises an authentic culinary journey from the northern to the southern Mediterranean.
The heart of this collaboration is Chef Vasileios Koukaras, a renowned chef from northern Greece. His culinary roots run deep, stemming from his family’s village of Leptokaria. Inspired by his mother and grandmother, Chef Vasileios views cooking as an art form that demands love and passion. His philosophy is deeply rooted in the essence of Greek cuisine, believing that the ingredients themselves hold rich stories that must be honored. ‘Cooking is like a relationship; it must be done with love and passion,’ Chef Vasileios shares, emphasizing the importance of Greek culinary traditions in his heritage.
Aptly titled ‘A Mediterranean Journey’, this event goes beyond a simple celebration of food. It’s an exploration of the rich cultures and flavors that define the Mediterranean region. Chef Vasileios Koukaras from Taverna 37 will bring the authentic tastes of northern Greece to the shores of Tunisia, offering a unique culinary experience that unites two Mediterranean coasts on one menu.
For a week, guests will be transported from Athens to Tunis through a vibrant celebration of Greek cuisine and culture. The event will feature traditional Greek dishes prepared with the freshest seasonal ingredients. The experience will be enhanced by lively bouzouki music and the joyful tradition of plate smashing, symbolizing celebration and good fortune in Greek culture.
Four Seasons Hotel Tunis invites guests to embark on a culinary adventure that transcends mere dining. It’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich cultural heritage of the Mediterranean, with exceptional dishes and entertainment that capture the essence of Greece. Guests are encouraged to fully indulge in this extraordinary experience, where the flavors, sounds, and traditions of Greece come to life at BLU Seafood Kitchen & Bar.
