With the expertise of our Executive Chef, Ammos Greek Seafood Estiatorio offers diners authentic Greek flavors, a blend of both new age and traditional Greek fare, resulting in a fresh, vibrant twist on tried and true classics.

We import many of the fine ingredients directly from Greece.

We import many of the fine ingredients directly from Greece, such as sea salt, dried oregano from mountain Taygetos, capers and caper berries, many of the staples used in the dishes-like first and cold fresh extra virgin olive oil, selected honey, strained Greek yogurt and of course the barrel-aged feta cheese produced on family farms.

salt

Our sea salt is from the Greek isles and is bright white in colour (thanks to the sun). It is a coarse salt high in salinity (or salty flavour) without a heavy mineral taste.

oregano

Our ground oregano comes from hand picked herbs from Greece’s Mt. Taygetos, the tallest mountain on Peloponnese. It is ground from naturally sun dried and is 100% pure.

capers

Greece is where the caper plant (Capparis spinosa) is thought to be endemic. Capers have been harvested and preserved in Greece for millennia.

evoo

Greek EVOO. Exceptional quality, aroma and taste. The oil is from the first pressing of the olives with no chemicals or hot water added during processing.

honey

Believed by many as the best tasting honey in the world, Greek honey is very unique due to its diverse flora, abundance of sunshine and dry climate.

yogurt

Greek yogurt is one of those foods that contradicts the saying “if it tastes good, it must be bad for you.” It is heavily strained to remove liquid whey and lactose, leaving behind a tangy, creamy product.

feta

Greek Barrel Aged Feta, matured in wooden barrels, is made from fresh sheep’s milk from free grazing animals. The natural aroma of mediterranean grasses in combination with the aroma of the wood, gives a unique rich flavour.

saffron

The gold of Greek land as it is called, is one of the most beloved and precious spices of ancient cultures because of its aroma, colour, pharmaceutical and aphrodisiac properties.
