The way we choose to eat is a much more complex issue, than the satisfaction of the sense of taste. It has a serious impact on our body, as the right foods we consume, contribute to proper nutrition and therefore its proper shielding, while on the contrary, overloaded foods, create oxidation of the cells and burden our organs. Moreover, at a time when conscious nutrition is now necessary, choosing fewer as zero animal foods for our table is the only way to environmental sustainability and balance.
Ancient practices such as Chinese Medicine and Nutrition or the Indian Ayurveda, have for years developed ways to properly nourish the body without causing harm, while the Mediterranean diet mostly supports its high nutritional value in the use of mainly vegetables , herbs and fruits.
Starting with this knowledge, W Karytsi, has landed in the most beloved square of the center and with amazing vegetarian and vegan friendly proposals based on the deliciousness of Mediterranean cuisine, guides us on the most beautiful food paths.
W Karytsi, opened last June in a very characteristic and for many full of memories corner of Karytsi Square, destined to carve its own history with its exceptional flavors and its overall eco friendly attitude. A space that immediately conveys calm, with simple lines and an energy that immediately wins you over without much fuss. After all, to create a beautiful atmosphere that will surround your guests, you do not need much, but good and positive energy.
Both have a large amount of Abyssa Tzerefou, which is behind the concept, but also behind the excellent menu. With her magical hands and armed with her love for all animals, she cooks wonderful dishes every day based on the Greek gastronomic tradition, using only plant ingredients and some cheese recipes.
The recipes that we all know and love, those that remind us of mom’s cooking hand, take on another dimension, both tasty and nutritional, always maintaining their characteristic delicacy. The excellent raw materials play a big role in this, which Abyssa has very meticulously chosen to use, from small producers in Greece, without intermediaries, supporting the fair trade.
The menu is designed in such a way that even if you are not VV, you overcome any possible hesitation and reservation and enjoy something really tasty, realizing that meat may not be so necessary in the end. Juicy kale stuffed with lots of fresh vegetables and herbs and pasticcio with minced soy and vegetable béchamel excite with their smell and rich taste and cause cute exclamations of enjoyment even to the most meat fanatics, who finally admit that they do not understand the difference.
Wonderful seasonal soups, such as a wonderful chickpea soup with turmeric and lemon, but also salads where the magic of the Greek land is captured in the most imaginative way, such as the very strong Greekbowl with a mixture of fresh vegetables or oatmeal, ideal options for a more pleasant introduction to a a meal that might change your whole worldview. Breaded tofu bites, with Greek herbs and sesame, are served golden and fragrant along with excellent sauce, while the mushroom bruschettas and pies, delicious and crunchy, exude all the aromas of the earth in delicious combinations that are hard to forget.
It is very beautiful when you share your vision and your vision. It is an interactive process that makes us all better, when criticism and enforcement do not interfere. W Karytsi, has adopted the most delicious and smooth way to introduce us to conscious nutrition. With the most delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes, he dispels the myth that he wants this diet to fall short of a variety of flavors and options, while following the path of zero wasting, paying attention to the management of raw materials, but also offering the food left in end of the day, to people in need. Obviously, the animals in the neighborhood are not complaining either, since Abyssa makes sure that they have fresh water and food every day.
Never say no to new taste options and perspectives, if you do not know all the parameters, if you do not try to go beyond the horizons that often the habit of the acquaintance puts you. W Karytsi is the perfect starting point for an exciting journey through the flavors that can change your whole life.
