“Peter Conistis is the pioneer of modern Greek food” Scott Bolles SMH Peter Conistis has wowed Sydney diners and food critics alike with his distinctive modern take on Greek food at his restaurants Cosmos Eleni’s and Omega. Now at Alpha Restaurant Peter is the leader of a Greek culinary empire the likes of which Sydney has never seen before. Peter began his career in his twenties by opening his own restaurant in 1993 after only a brief stint at a two-hat restaurant. A 32-seat restaurant in East Sydney Cosmos offered Conistis freedom and flexibility and it was here that he began to refine his unique style of cooking. The critics quickly took notice. Within three months the restaurant had received a toque in the 1994 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide becoming the first Greek restaurant to not only receive a toque but also be featured in the guide. Cosmos' signature dishes included his scallop moussaka and his rabbit pie two dishes that were critically acclaimed at all of Conistis' restaurants and are now on the Alpha menu. Around this time Peter published his first cookbook New Greek Cuisine with Simon & Schuster. The book was critically acclaimed and in 1995 it was edited and reprinted for the U.S. as Greek Cuisine the New Classics by Ten Speed Press. Conistis closed Cosmos in January 1997 and opened Eleni's in June. There he continued to develop his now legendary cooking style and was soon rewarded with two more toques. In 2000 Conistis' baked nougat tart with orange blossom custard candied pistachios and Iranian candy floss was named "Dessert of the Year" by Vogue Entertaining and Travel. Three years later Conistis was ready to move on. He closed Eleni's and in 2004 opened Omega the restaurant that would gain him the most attention and recognition to date. In 2005 Omega won the award for Best New Restaurant in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide. The restaurant was also awarded two toques with Omega's mezze bar winning another toque. Other highlights include Peter's involvement in the "Food Safari" food tours to Greece with Maeve O'Meara from 2001 to 2006 which led to Peter working on SBS television's Greek Food Safari in 2005. In 2004 Peter was invited to Athens to cook for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games an event that brought him worldwide recognition and which he considers a highlight of his career. In 2007 Peter was appointed Executive Chef at the Civic Hotel where he was again awarded a toque for his take on modern Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Now at Alpha Restaurant Peter demonstrates his deep understanding and appreciation of Greece’s tempting regional recipes. His dishes from Alpha’s four menus – rapid-fire cantina food rotisserie menu meze menu and an a la carte menu – are testament to Peter’s innovation yet retain the homely accessible quality that has made his food so popular. Guests can expect a selection of Peter’s much-loved signature dishes such as scallop moussaka and rabbit pie – two dishes that have won praise at all of Conistis’ previous restaurants. Peter will also introduce a number of new recipes including a five-layer cake with saffron and pistachio filo pastry and a spit-roasted chicken dish with cucumber yoghurt. Alpha Restaurant is located at 238 Castlereagh Street Sydney 2000. Telephone (02) 9098 1111
