AMBROSIA RESTAURANT

ALL-INCLUSIVE BUFFET

In Greek mythology, ambrosia is the food of Gods. The word means immortality since it was said that whoever was consuming it had longevity. Although we cannot guarantee that we can serve you longevity, in our restaurant you will enjoy, among others, dishes from the Cretan diet, the base of the Mediterranean diet which is famous for its health benefits and unique taste.

Our big secret is the focus on excellent quality ingredients. Our vegetables come from our own garden which is located at the back of the hotel and from carefully selected local farmers who bring their product from the land right to our dishes. We also grow and use our own Cretan herbs which will be giving some exquisite taste to your dishes. Major characteristic of the Mediterranean diet is also the use of olive oil. This is why, in Ambrosia restaurant, we use extra virgin olive oil of our own production coming from our olive trees in South Crete.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

A MEDICINE OF NATURE

In a 30-year-long study among 7 developed countries, the group of 700 Cretan men demonstrated the lowest percentage of deaths caused by heart diseases and forms of cancer while their life expectancy was the highest in all 7 studied populations. A major paradox is that in Cretan diet the amount of fat consumed is three times more than what the average American eats. The significant difference though is that Cretans consume only olive oil which is often served raw instead of boiled or fried.

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats (73%), contains large amounts of antioxidants, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, helps in the prevention of heart diseases and cancer types. It also assists brain function and prevents Alzheimer’s disease, may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, can help treat rheumatoid arthritis, has anti-bacterial properties. Most importantly, it does not cause weight gain and it tastes delicious.

There are major differences among olive oils and extra virgin olive oil is the one that is recommended. Extra virgin olive oil is the only type that contains all the antioxidants and bioactive compounds. The importance of getting the right kind of olive oil cannot be overstated. This is why in our restaurant you will find only extra virgin olive oil that we produce on our own in our olive yard in the location Palaiochora in south-western Crete. Our tested extra virgin olive oil is awarded with the Green Minoan Olive Tree Award  which is issued by the Organisation of Producers of Olive Oil in Crete.
