Story

About Nikos

Nikos comes from the beautiful island of Crete. He has over 40 years experience working in hotels & restaurants in Crete, cruise ships and the United Kingdom. He moved to England in 2001 and became well known as a respected chef in various locations around Lancashire. He started visiting Dumfries & Galloway in 2003 and, together with his partner Caroline, fell in love with the area and they moved here in 2006. He opened Nikos@Blackwater in January 2013.

Nikos is passionate about cooking authentic Greek & Cretan food. There are no “watered down” versions available here! He uses fresh, local ingredients and a lot of seasonal vegetables and salad items on the menu are from his own gardens! His other passion is baking his own bread which is always available at the restaurant.
Nikos has become quite a celebrity in Dumfries & Galloway – he has featured in Dumfries & Galloway Life magazine and has taken part in cooking exhibitions for Food Town days and Flavours Fortnight.

All food in the restaurant is made and prepared by Nikos including all the dips, bread & desserts!
All meals are freshly prepared & cooked to order so please be patient during busy times.
