1968
The detached two story house was replaced by the building where the restaurant still stands today on the ground floor.
1995
Third generation took over, represented by grandson Kostas and his wife Patricia.
“Filippou restaurant with an open kitchen since 1968 (pioneering for that era), symbolizes honesty and trust in what we have been creating everyday over the years. The restaurant is a timeless hangout of many famous and not, from artistic, political and business sectors, people who have left a mark in Modern Greek history.”
”We continue the tradition of Greek cuisine bringing to our visitors memories from the past…”
Greek Tastes
“The cuisine of Greece was shaped by the customs and traditions of every region. Every event of Greek life is connected to a dining table. In sorrows and joy, all tribulations, we all come together. Families, relatives and friends enjoy the traditional Greek recipes that have been preserved and handed down from grandparents in their purest and cleanest form, maintaining the deliciousness of each meal and also benefiting from the use of the finest ingredients. The cheese pie, spinach pie, stuffed tomatoes and peppers, Greek bean soup, Pastitsio, Mousaka, Lamb fricassee and many other well-known dishes will be found in our restaurant, which we carry on from generation to generation.”
