Rhodos Palace

Mediterranean cuisine

Greek cuisine is a typical Mediterranean cuisine that is characterized by the use of ingredients such as olive oil, herbs such as oregano and bay leaf, lots of vegetables, meat and fish. Rhodos Palace opened its doors more than 17 years ago and the restaurant has served pure, traditional Greek cuisine from the start. With a menu that rarely changes, the Greek chefs at Rhodos Palace make sure customers know exactly what to expect. "We occasionally add a new dish to the menu, but we often work with the same recipes and dishes," explains co-owner Sotris Kontzes. "Our customers like this, all their favourite dishes remain as they are." This philosophy ensures that Rhodes Palace has built up a large number of regular customers. “We have customers who came here as a little boy of six years old. Now they come here with their families.”

The restaurant seats 280 people, of which the rear room has 120 seats. This space can also be rented for larger groups. Here we often work with running buffets.' People who don't have time to go out to eat extensively can also pick up their favourite dishes. “Do this at a 15% discount. Especially when the weather is nice, people like to collect their food and eat it outside in the garden.”

Delicious grill dishes such as gyros, souvlaki and bifteki are alternated with the tastiest oven dishes, in which a lot of work is done with aubergine and tomato. “The Greeks use a lot more vegetables in their dishes, but in a different way. We almost never use butter and fat, but always olive oil. This forms the basis.” There are special children's menus for the little ones and vegetarians also have plenty of choice at Rhodes Palace. in the kitchen, only the best quality products are used. “We only want the best of the best, we make no concessions in this regard. Nevertheless, we try to keep our prices as accessible as possible. We would prefer that everyone can eat at our restaurant, yet with dishes of the highest quality.' Guests of Rhodes Palace are treated to a glass of Greek ouzo before the meal. And afterwards there is also a cocktail of Greek liqueurs, wines and soft drinks. We often get the question of what this cocktail is called. Because we put these together ourselves, we just called the cocktail the 'Rhodos'.'
