Star Nights – Spondi x Tantris Maison Culinaire

Nestled in the heart of Athens, Spondi lives in its discreet and serene room in winter and exults in summer in its green courtyard. Thanks to chef Arnaud Bignon, it has become an essential address for gastronomes. Arnaud’s creativity and the humble yet impressive mastery of his dishes mark his cuisine.
In his constant quest for innovation and encounters, the man who was one of the youngest chefs to receive two Michelin stars invited three of his chef friends for a series of dinners called Star Nights.

Dear Friends,

We had been expecting it for a few days without really believing it: France is reconfining itself.
This historic pandemic is shaking up our lives personally, professionally and socially.
And of course the life of our restaurants, our Grandes Tables.
Now is the time for solidarity, respect and commitment to health and safety, while we await for better days.

Dear friends,

When many European countries are restricting restaurant hours or even closing them as in Belgium, we would like with my fellow members of the board to say how much we care about the dire situation many of our members are faced with. We’re also thinking of all restaurateurs who have to deal with this enormous and unprecedented challenges. We would also have in mind our Customers who keep showing us so much support, demonstrating the strength of fine dining. We’re left optimistic about our future and we keep faith to face this uncertain times.

Dear friends,

These is an historic time. A time when panic can overcome reason. Many of us around the world are being impacted by this unprecedented health crisis. And all of you restaurateurs are among the first to be affected.
It is with great emotion that we think of all our friendly members in Italy, China, Belgium, Spain, France, the United States and all over the world who have had to close their establishments. We hope that this crisis will give rise to new projects and new ideas. But for now, we send you all the courage we can to overcome this situation. "We are at war", but we will continue to create. Trust that light can come out of the darkest events...
