Cyprus Dinner

Bailliage of Cyprus
Nicosia, October 4, 2018

Star Greek Chef came especially for the event

Our latest dinner was at Pralina Experience on Stasikratous in Nicosia. An exciting marriage of artful architecture and décor, the establishment is definitely impressive.

Lefteris Lazarou, one of the most famous Greek Chefs, created the menu. What’s more he came from Greece in person especially to cook it in association with Elias Aristotelous, Executive Chef of the Pralina Experience.

Chef of the Michelin 1-star Varoulko Restaurant in Athens, Lefteris Lazarou is considered one of the most influential chefs in his country particularly due to his expertise in fish and seafood based dishes.

Champagne “R” Ruinart was much enjoyed at the reception before members and their guests took their places for the dinner.

Among the distinguished guests we were delighted to welcome Réne Troccaz, HE The Ambassador of France to Cyprus, and his wife, Laurence. A career diplomat, Ambassador Troccaz was appointed in December 2015. His professional experience of dealing with issues of cooperation has particularly led him to serve in the countries of the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
