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.

Focus on the Association’s ethical charter, which was drawn up by Sylvie Buhagiar and Sang-Hoon Degeimbre.
