As you all know I’ve been visiting Kassiopi for three years….it’s a place very close to my heart, it’s the place recipes from my travels all started. I’ve made some beautiful friends here.
I’m always going to be biased but illusions kitchen bar which is run by two lovely sisters, Christianna and Nikolina is my all time favourite eating place. Only opened in May 2022 it belongs to the same family who own illusions bar, which incidentally is the first bar my sister and i Lorraine landed in, in the early part of 2019

It’s been a difficult couple of years in the hospitality industry worldwide, and illusions kitchen bar opened on the back end of covid…. But with amazing food, an amazing setting and two beautiful sisters who could want anything more….
When it comes to Michelin stars….restaurants like this always get overlooked, but why….it’s restaurants like illusions kitchen bar who deserve a Michelin star for not only the food but it’s cleanliness, not only in the kitchen or bar itself but even on the harbour side tables.
Everything they do is meticulous.
