It has been four months since internationally trained and renowned chef David Tsirekas’ menu hit West End’s Nostimo Restaurant Bar, and it features some of his signature dishes! David’s Ancient Salmon dish is based on an ancient Greek technique which involved preserving fish in distilled spirits and fermented anchovy sauce.
