For us, Roza’s is less about making a living and more about creating relationships and bonds with our place and country, with our producers and visitors, through food.

  OUR PHILOSOPHY

We cook Greek, but without blinders. We don’t cook “traditionally”, Greek cuisine is traditional by nature. But not “modernly” either. We cook contemporary.

Our dishes must not be just “tasty”. We also wish they feel like memories & returning home, like the Greek word for tasty – “nostimo” – implies. We try to be pioneers, but not rebels of cooking. We would be happy if we achieved adding even a small grain of salt to the wisdom of Greek cooking. Food is culture, and eating out is an act of universal entertainment. We hope you experience it that way at Roza’s.

  WHO WE ARE

We are not slaves tied with ropes, we are free tied hand in hand

Kyriakos Petropoulos is the “theoretical mind” of our restaurant.

Born and raised in Thessaloniki, with a degree in mechanical engineering but with a long-standing professional career in advertising before settling permanently on the island. An avid foodie, he dedicates time and money to gastronomic trips in Greece and abroad as well as to the search for small, quality producers throughout the country.

Katerina Tsotskolaouri is the head chef of Roza’s and the wife of Kyriakos Petropoulos.

Born in Mtskheta, Georgia and raised in her mother’s professional kitchens, she came to Greece in the 90s. She studied at the “Le Monde” cooking school, attended international seminars, and worked for almost 20 years in the kitchens of well-known restaurants in Athens and Santorini. Since 2019, she has been trying to transform her husband’s maximalist demands into small wonders of modern gastronomy. Despite the awards and the appreciation she enjoys from her colleagues, she acts as if she has no idea how talented she is.
