Konstantin Filippou
“Cooking and eating is my passion. I have been to too many restaurants where food is worshipped and diners whisper. To me it is more important to cook exciting and inspirational delicious food using the ingredients I love with integrity and perfection. I am a Greek Austrian and this reflects in my dishes and the spirit of the dining room.”
