Tucked away in the picturesque village of Xino Nero, Kontosoros is a true gastronomic treasure, seamlessly blending traditional Greek flavors with modern culinary artistry. This well-established restaurant has built its reputation on exceptional local ingredients, refined techniques, and a deep respect for regional cuisine, making it an unforgettable dining destination.
What sets Kontosoros apart is its commitment to local sourcing—from the carefully selected ingredients to the impressive wine list, which exclusively features bottles from the surrounding area. This dedication not only enhances the freshness of every dish but also celebrates the culinary heritage of the region.
The menu is outstanding, with every dish showcasing a perfect balance of tradition and contemporary finesse: • The pork steak with chestnut mash is simply fantastic—rich, tender, and perfectly complemented by the sweet and earthy chestnut purée. • The beef tongue sotee, served with a velvety wine sauce and a beautifully balanced lemony risotto, is a unique creation that exemplifies the chef’s creativity and expertise. The combination of flavors is both bold and refined, making it a must-try dish. • And, of course, dessert was an experience in itself. The Baba au Rhum was executed to perfection—light, moist, and infused with just the right amount of rum. Meanwhile, the traditional halva was an ode to authentic Greek flavors, prepared with a delicate touch that elevated its humble roots.
Beyond the remarkable cuisine, the service is impeccable—warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and wine pairings adds to the overall experience, ensuring that every guest feels truly valued and cared for.
The ambiance is equally inviting, with a setting that exudes rustic charm and sophistication, making it the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal.
In every aspect, Kontosoros is a place worth revisiting. It’s rare to find a restaurant that stays true to its roots while embracing innovation with such finesse. I will undoubtedly return to savor more of its exquisite dishes and warm hospitality. If you appreciate authentic flavors with a modern touch, this is a culinary experience you simply...
Read moreI stayed at the Kondosoros with some friends. I actually am Greek American and wanted to visit the region of Florina because I have family there and it was the birthplace of my grandparents. The Bed and Breakfast is situated in a village known as Xino Nero which is a place that is known for its unique water carbonated beverages that actually give health benefits to the gastric system (I am serious, its good, try one!) The family who works and owns the place is extremely kind and helpful. The food at the Tavern downstairs is excellent and the breakfast served every morning is homemade as well. They must have some of the best bread I have ever tried in that village. The rooms are clean and very affordable. I highly recommend Kontosoros to anyone visiting the Florina region and needs a place to stay. make sure you rent a car if you are traveling to the area because you will want to see the historic village of Nimfeo, Florina City, the local wineries in the area and the...
Read moreMy husband and I stayed at the Kontosoros Inn in Xyno Nero about 15 miles southwest of Florina for one night in July 2008 on our way to Macedonia and Croatia. We were very happily suprised and thought the service and accomodations were terrific. The inn was renovated recently so the decor is an attractive and tasteful blend of tradtional and contemporary. Our spacious room was clean with a fireplace and a small kichen unit. It is a family owned inn and the husband is very knowledgable about the great wines of northern Greece. The food was delicious, the only "nouveau" cuisine we encountered in Greece, but unpretentious, fresh and delicious.||||We had a delightful pre-dinner stroll through the tiny village of Xyno Nero which had a lively square filled with cafes and people all ages. We would highly recommend this inn, and even if you don't have time to stay the night, don't miss...
