ATHENS. The Gold Caps for the best restaurants in Greece were awarded at a special ceremony at the Grande Bretagne Hotel in Athens on Monday 18 February.
Corfu came out top at the Gold Caps Awards with Etrusco yet again being voted the best restaurant in Greece 2019. Second place was shared by three Athens restuarants - Spondi, Varoulko Seaside and Botrini's.
Judging was difficult yet again this year for the panel from Athinorama and Alpha Guide. The judges travelled all year trying thousands of dishes before they came up with their final verdict and 28 restaurants from throughout the country were awarded with one or two Gold Caps at the Awards Ceremony in the Grand Ballroom of the Grande Bretagne Hotel on Monday 18 February.
Four of this year's new Gold Cap winners are from islands - Grandma's in Ios, Dionysos in Elounda, La Veranda in Mykonos and Ovac in Santorini. The fifth newcomer was Aleria from Athens.
This is the 26th year of the Gold Cap Awards. Judging is based on international criteria, placing Greek restaurants firmly on the world culinary map. This year 49 Greek restaurants were nominated from which 28 were awarded Gold Caps. Factors that are taken into consideration are the quality of the primary products, innovation, the chefs' culinary techniques, harmony and balance in the tastes, imaginative combinations, aesthetic appearance of the dishes and the general experience produced by all the elements together.
The publisher of Athinorama presented the Regional Governor for the South Aegean Giorgos Hatzimarkos with an Award for the South Aegean Region being named "European Gastronomical Region 2019" for its efforts to promote Greek cuisine worldwide.
The Minister for Tourism Elena Kountoura presented the Award for Best Greek Restuarant.
