Sharing warmth and generosity

Generous

At Open Garden Restaurant, located in the backstreets of Naoussa, Paros, we share with you 
​the warmth of the Cyclades:
hospitality, generosity and -really- good food.
Our team is here to look after you with
​a genuine smile.
​ You are welcome. Truely. 

Simple

Our kitchen is inspired by the culinary diversity of Greek food
and the use of ​local, ​fresh ingredients.
We serve unpretentious dishes, with a contemporary twist. All cooked with love, and delicate simplicity.

Homegrown

Proudly from plant to plate.  
We timidly started our spray free vegetable garden in 2019, and share with you the fresh inspiration and sublte fragrances of handpicked homegrown vegetables
​every day on our special harvest to table menu.

INSPIRED

(A few words about the world we share with you)

The woman behind it

​Open Garden Restaurant is the third self-owned restaurant of Greek-Belgian chef Elda Molla.
​Committed to quality, Elda's kitchen has broken out of the big restaurant style, offering a small, inventive, yet unpretentious menu, using fresh local produce.
All served on our private terrace in the backstreets of Naoussa.

​The way we do it

We use wherever possible locally sourced produce for many reasons.
First of all, they are fresh and we know where they come from and how they get to us.
Then, there is the taste, fragrance, texture: beautiful Parian cheese, fresh fish, homegrown vegetables, sometimes local meat.
By honoring local produce we share with you our love of Paros, and Greece.

SUSTAINABLE

We care. We recycle our cooking oils, all our drinks are in glass bottles and we ditched plastic straws some years ago.
We avoid disposables when possible. Our menu is also available with a QR code. We use led light bulbs for reduced consumption.

We mostly buy local in small quantities, cook fresh small batches of food on a daily basis achieving reduced carbon footprint,
reduced food waste and of course, quality.

Our homegrown vegetable garden is zero waste as any surplus or unsold vegetables and fruits
are transformed into chutneys, jams, pickles, pestos, deserts that we use on our menu. 

We Care. We act.

Proud to be a Clean Blue business, breaking free from plastic pollution.
We can't do this alone.
