Kitchen: A unique fusion of Dim Sum and Cocktails in Piraeus

With its small plates, creative cocktails, affordable prices and modern design, Kitschen Dim Sum Bar is quickly becoming a favorite spot for Athens’ foodies in the heart of Piraeus.

Dimitris Liem and Spyros Minetos were destined to meet and bring something that was missing from the dining scene in Piraeus: affordable pan-Asian cuisine with influences from Greek gastronomy and refreshing cocktails in a tiny restaurant, a temple of design and Asian culture. And all of this, hidden in a narrow alley next to Athens’ (and the country’s) largest port.

To visit Kitschen, you probably need to know where it is, otherwise how would you suspect that an Asian cuisine party is taking place in a narrow alley in Piraeus? Modern aesthetics and a trademark, a huge colorful mural. As Dimitris Liem told us, the initial goal was to resemble a giant magazine cover: “The mural is a work in progress, we are going to add black cats. The idea behind the cover is black humor and contrasts. What it essentially says is that everything is a matter of choice and effort, even if you have an ‘unlucky cat’ (Aka Bakeneko).”

Whatever they may say, Dimitris and Spyros actually met thanks to a lucky coincidence. Dimitris, Greek-Korean, and Spyros, Greek-Indonesian, met when they married two sisters. So, they are “brothers-in-law,” as Dimitris jokingly tells us when explaining their story.

They immediately hit it off and didn’t take long for their first joint projects to come. “We started with ‘The Bedroom’, organizing parties and events with electronic music, while also releasing tracks, but what made us very well-known were the gift packs we gave to our guests. These were designed by Fotini, my wife, who was already awarded for it. Now she has taken over the design and branding of Kitschen,” says Dimitris.
