Fire, exceptional ingredients, and cooking without unnecessary embellishments. These are the principles that bring together Manari and one of London’s most talked-about chefs for a special dinner in Athens.
Chef and restaurateur Aris Vezenes invites Elliot Hashtroudi to Manari for an evening shaped by a shared culinary philosophy: deep respect for ingredients, cooking over fire, and close relationships with producers whose names you know as well as their products.
Hashtroudi arrives from Camille, the acclaimed restaurant in London’s Borough Market, bringing his distinctive approach rooted in rustic French cooking, nose-to-tail practices, bold flavours, and the belief that true respect for an ingredient means using it in its entirety.

The menu has been created around values that define both kitchens: seasonality, simplicity, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to quality produce. Rather than focusing on elaborate techniques or presentation, the evening will celebrate the essence of ingredients and the elemental power of cooking with fire.
Hashtroudi’s Camille has become one of the most celebrated openings on the London dining scene. Recently named London’s Best Restaurant for 2026 by Time Out London, the restaurant was praised as “a triumph of imagination, talent and bravery,” with particular recognition given to Hashtroudi’s culinary vision. Camille also secured 20th place in the National Restaurant Awards 2026, further establishing the chef as one of the most exciting emerging voices in contemporary British gastronomy.


The dinner menu will be served à la carte and accompanied by wines from Thymiopoulos Vineyards. Dinner service begins at 18:00.
The event marks the beginning of a series of new culinary projects at Manari, with every detail carefully curated by the team at Green Garlic Management.
