The abundance of excellent Michelin restaurants across Europe and the USA are an expensive culinary attraction for foodies, and usually part of a long trip to some destination.
But what if I told you that without a 3-4 hour trip (at a minimum), you could enjoy a Michelin meal that tantalizes the senses next to an especially indulgent hotel, all just an hour away?
Sky7 Restaurant, located on the seventh floor of the luxurious Cap St Georges Hotel in Cyprus, offers a unique and unforgettable culinary experience.
The restaurant, open only on weekends once a month throughout the year, hosts world-renowned chefs who have earned many Michelin stars and offers a unique tasting menu that changes according to the guest chef.
Each month, Michelin-starred chefs and cooks visit the hotel for a sensory and experiential meal that brings their flavors and techniques to the local cuisine, combining Mediterranean ingredients with the personal style and interpretation of those chefs.
This intriguing combination creates a meal that tantalizes senses and tastes you won't find at the chefs' own restaurants and makes SKY7 an exciting location for foodies looking for changing high cuisine.
Each Michelin meal is accompanied by a wine menu crafted by the hotel's sommelier, combining wonderful local wines with international ones, usually from the country of the visiting chef.

The Prodigy from Italy
Recently, Italian chef Daniele Lippi, a young and promising chef who is taking the culinary scene by storm, visited the restaurant.
The talented chef currently leads the Acquolina Restaurant in Rome, which has two Michelin stars, where his innovative cuisine captivates the hearts of both diners and critics, and he is considered the chef who brought back the culinary glory to Rome.
Lippi's culinary journey began under the guidance of the famous Troiani brothers at Il Convivio Troiani Restaurant in Rome. This nine-year apprenticeship instilled in him a deep respect for traditional Italian techniques and ingredients. However, Lippi's ambition did not stop there. He sought to broaden his horizons by working in some of the world's most prestigious kitchens.
Lippi's dishes are characterized by a blend of classic Italian flavors with modern techniques and global influences. These combinations earned Acquolina its second Michelin star in 2022 and secured his place among Italy's culinary elite.

Lippi's passion for pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable dining experiences is evident in every dish he creates. With his talent and dedication, Daniele Lippi is undoubtedly a chef to watch in the coming years.
