| The
"House of Switzerland" | | |
| | | |
| | | | |
| | | | Located
in the Plaka, a famous tourist area at the foot of the Acropolis, the Hermion
Restaurant will be taken over for a period of five weeks. In accordance with the
proposals, this restaurant will become the "House of Switzerland" and
will combine Greek cuisine and Swiss gastronomy. It will be open to the general
public as well as hosting Swiss Olympic officials, dignitaries and sponsors, and
will reveal the many flavours of Switzerland. As the inauguration of the "House
of Switzerland" is planned for 1st August, Swiss National Day, the restaurant
will already be open during the first two weeks of August, prior to the Olympic
Games. It will be divided into different sections: a large outdoor terrace with
a buffet where salads and crudités will be served alongside a bar and a
Bar-b-q area; indoors, there will be a downstairs à la carte restaurant,
and in the gallery a cocktail area and an event/function space. |
