Varka Estiatorio dedicates itself to the absolute freshest in European seafood. We contract with select fishermen and exporters to guarantee the shortest time between the net and your plate. The result is an almost startling freshness, one few Americans have experienced. Executive Chef George Georgiades is a classically trained chef with twenty years of experience in the finest kitchens of Manhattan and Europe. As a first generation Greek-American, he has an ancestral feel for Varka's core ingredients, and his gourmet background has taught him to let food speak for itself.
