Lesante Cape’s commitment to authentic living is further highlighted by its “Bostani”, an organic farm sitting within the hotel’s grounds that supplies all of its unique gastronomic destinations with fresh, fragrant raw materials, ready to be transformed into delectable dishes.
This nature-based outlook is perhaps best captured in Fiore, Lesante Cape's fine dining restaurant, boasting a privileged location within the complex and looking out to amazing sea views.

Take Bakopoulos’, modern interpretation of the beloved “bourdeto”, for instance, or his version of the classic “magiritsa” where tradition and innovation co-exist, revealing sumptuous flavors with each bite.
At Fiore, the chef unites the Heptanese region’s secrets with his innovative perspective; cooking with ingredients harvested from Lesante Cape’s very own Bostani.
The same ultra-fresh approach characterizes Bakopoulos’ more marine creations, as well, where the freshest catch of the day and exquisite seafood are given the Fiore treatment, bringing their tastes to the fore and elevating them with special flourishes.
In the process, the concept of living and dining from nature acquires a luxurious edge that is perfectly in tune with Lesante Cape’s refined character and the island’s aristocratic heritage.
