Interiors feature custom furnishings, commissioned artworks, sun-washed neutrals, natural textures, and soft curves that echo the rhythm of the sea. Helmed by Riviera Dining Group, the culinary program is led by Chef Michaël Michaelidis and Executive Chef Frédéric Aumeunier. The menu captures the essence of the earth and sea, and pays tribute to the Cycladic region, balancing tradition with modern interpretation. Guests can expect refined, soulful dishes such as Aegean Tuna Ceviche, Mediterranean Seabass Carpaccio, Lobster Pasta and Lamb Moussaka. Discreetly housed within the restaurant is a secluded members-only retreat featuring tasteful flavors crafted exclusively for the club, complemented by inventive cocktails, a curated wine list and rare vinatages from the private cellar. It also features chef-led dinners, intimate tastings and curated activations; AvaMediterrAegean.com.
