Family Mood and very warm! An experience to do absolutely: you arrive empty-handed, you prepare your wonderful moussaka and tsasiki with the very good advice of the “Mama” and then you settle down by the pool to enjoy your dishes! Oh, God!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Ms. Irene, the heart and soul behind the family-run Vigla Restaurant, pours her passion into every detail—from sourcing fresh, local ingredients to preparing traditional recipes in her unique Amorgian style. Her greatest joy is passing this knowledge on to our guests, and we're thrilled to know it resonated with you. If you recreate any of the dishes back home, we’d love to see your culinary creations. Feel free to send us photos or tag us—it's always a pleasure to see the flavors of Amorgos come to life beyond the island. Warm wishes from all of us at Dream Blue!

Laurence_P, Jun 2024
La chef était très sympa ,précise. Et l'a bien explique,montré et fait participer . Nous avons préparé une moussaka et du tatsiki .. 1h 10 en cuisine et30 mn a table . Donc pas 2h30 de cours . Et pas de dessert à preparer Mais j'étais seule , c'est peut-être l'explication . Recette très raffinée de la moussaka .

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Chère Laurence, nous vous remercions sincèrement pour votre retour chaleureux et les 5 bulles. C'est la durée de l'expérience globale qui est de 2h30. En effet, nous incluons dans le temps du cours, le temps de cuisson et la dégustation sur notre terrasse. Concernant les recettes, le choix se fait entre plat salé et dessert. Ce sont deux options différentes et nous en faisons d'ailleurs la distinction sur notre site lors de votre réservation. Nous sommes ravis que l'expérience vous ait plu et que vous appréciez la recette du Moussaka. Vous pouvez nous envoyer des photos de vos créations une fois chez vous ! N'hésitez pas à partager avec vos amis et famille. Au plaisir de vous revoir sur Amorgos, L'équipe Dream Blue

Expérience inoubliable !
