SAUDI ARABIA – Greek restaurant concept Parea Greek Brasserie has opened at Hilton Riyadh Olaya.

Parea Greek Brasserie has reimagined Greek cuisine by blending time-honored recipes with contemporary flair, offering a fresh yet authentic Mediterranean dining experience.

This new restaurant is dedicated to serving dishes crafted from sustainably sourced, high-quality ingredients, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere for guests seeking an authentic taste of Greece.

Chef Garnaras Giorgos, who leads the culinary direction at Parea, shared that the restaurant’s mission is to honor Greek culinary traditions while incorporating modern innovations.

He explained that every dish is thoughtfully crafted using only the finest ingredients, ensuring that each bite embodies the true essence of Greece. This approach brings a modern twist to beloved Mediterranean classics, delivering flavors that are at once familiar and refreshingly new.

Restaurant Manager Zoe Livia Dylgjeri elaborated on the ambiance at Parea, describing it as a welcoming haven where guests can fully immerse themselves in both the food and the atmosphere.

She emphasized that Parea was designed to be an inclusive space, perfect for lively gatherings with friends or a quiet, intimate dinner for two. No matter the occasion, guests are promised a truly authentic Mediterranean experience that feels both homely and special.

Parea’s menu is crafted to bring the vibrant flavors of Greece to life, featuring dishes that showcase authentic Mediterranean ingredients.

One signature offering is the Greek Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sourced from ancient olive groves and known for its striking green color, fruity aroma, and a distinctive nutty, peppery finish.

Another highlight is the Balsamic Cream with Fig, a unique blend of sweet and tangy flavors derived from sun-dried figs. This versatile ingredient pairs wonderfully with cheeses, meats, and fruits, elevating the dining experience with a touch of Mediterranean sweetness.

True to its Greek roots, Parea captures the essence of a brasserie that is both eclectic and warm-hearted.

The restaurant’s philosophy centers on fresh, flavorful food that’s generously seasoned with wild, aromatic herbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Sustainability is also central to Parea’s mission; the restaurant sources local produce whenever possible to reduce its environmental impact and ensure that each dish is as fresh as possible.
