After a sold-out culinary weekend in June, Chef Giannis Baxevanis returns to Irida Wine Restaurant for two more extraordinary evenings, tailor-made for lovers of refined Cretan gastronomy.
Join us on Thursday, July 18 and Friday, July 19 at 7:00 PM, and experience the signature magic that unfolds when heritage cuisine meets modern creativity.
Whether you’re a returning guest or joining us for the first time, you’ll be treated to a menu where each dish — curated by Chef Baxevanis in collaboration with resident chef Rena Giannoulaki — celebrates the rich bounty of Crete. Expect a fusion of traditional recipes, seasonal ingredients, and local wines that elevate every course.
Evening Highlights:
Thursday, July 18
- Live music by Sakis Zapitis (keyboard, accordion, vocals)
- Wine tasting with Moinoterra Winery, from Archanes
Friday, July 19
- DJ set by Manos Kefalas
- Wine pairing by IDAIA Winery, a staple of our Friday evenings
Guests will be able to enjoy both classic à la carte dishes and exclusive daily specials, each one bearing the creative stamp of Greece’s gastronomic ambassador to the world.
At IridaChic, we believe that haute cuisine begins at the root — in local traditions, humble ingredients, and heartfelt hospitality. Through his long-standing partnership with our kitchen, Chef Baxevanis brings this philosophy to life in every bite.
