Meat-based appetisers for an incredible start

Every luxury dining experience begins with an enticing starter, and in Alexios, the options are equally exciting. One standout dish to begin your dining journey is our beef tartare with cabbage, ginger, and turnip in fermentation.

This dish combines the rich flavour of raw beef with the tangy notes of fermented vegetables, creating a complex and refreshing starter, accompanied by hummus with lemon confit, a creamy and zesty dip that pairs beautifully with fresh bread and fresh sauces.

However, the kale salad with asparagus, katiki Domokou, jamón, and pumpkin seeds is an unmissable choice. This salad brings together a variety of textures and flavours, from the crisp kale and tender asparagus to the creamy katiki Domokou cheese. The addition of jamón, a dry-cured Spanish ham, elevates the dish with its rich, savoury taste, making it a perfect introduction to a meaty feast.

Outstanding carnivore main dishes

For the main course, Oia offers an array of exceptional meat dishes that cater to diverse tastes. A classic choice is the beef fillet, served with baby potatoes, baby corn, chimichurri, and a hint of spicy lime. The beef is tender and cooked to perfection, complemented by the fresh and tangy chimichurri sauce. This dish is a staple for those who appreciate the pure, unadulterated flavour of high-quality beef.

For a more fusion-oriented twist, consider the bao bun with Black Angus beef, which features succulent beef paired with cucumber, red cabbage, chilli, and spring onion, all enveloped in a soft, fluffy bao bun. The addition of hoisin sauce adds a sweet and savoury element, making each bite a delightful blend of flavours and textures.
If pork is more to your liking, our pork pancetta bao bun offers a delicious combination of crispy pancetta, fresh carrot, and peppery arugula, all enhanced by a rich miso sauce. This dish is a harmonious balance of salty and sweet, with the miso sauce providing a deep flavour that ties everything together.

Lastly, the bao bun with chicken is a must-try for those who prefer poultry. This bao bun is filled with tender chicken, crunchy cabbage, and carrot, and finished with a drizzle of chilli mayo. The slight kick from the chili mayo perfectly complements the savoury chicken, making this dish a flavorful and satisfying option.
