Tantalise your taste buds at luxurious Cretan resort

Gourmands and guests alike staying at the ultra luxurious Out Of The Blue, Capsis Elite Resort in Agia Pelagia, in Crete are in for a gastronomic experience. There are two French Michelin starred chefs, and an Italian that have devised the menus for the Precieux, El Greco and the Safran Restaurants. The famous Michelin starred French chef Eric Fréchon from the Bristol Hotel, Paris and Arnaud Bignon of Spondi Restaurant in Athens have devised an executive menu to have diners tantalised with their flavours.

Arnaud Bignon oversees the El Greco Restaurant giving Greek cuisine a flavoursome glamour. Chef Gianluca Guglielmi has created the menu of the Safran Italian Restaurant adding to the culinary delights.

Apart from these three gourmet restaurants, the resort offers six others which offer a variety of cuisines to appeal to the different tastes of its guests. Two of the restaurants are ideal for private functions for those looking to celebrate a special occasion or just to have a romantic dinner under the stars!

The Precieux Gourmet Restaurant which serves French cuisine is situated at the exclusively private OH! All Suite Hotel. The sommelier will guide you through the cellar with its extensive selection of vintage wines and champagnes especially chosen from vineyards around the world.
