The Labyrinth menu at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park offers food inspired by the delicacies of Ancient Greece
Have you ever wondered what life was really like in Ancient Greece? Perhaps one of the most satisfying routes to gaining insight and connection is through the eternal human ritual of eating and drinking – all the more fascinating with the realisation that over thousands of years, some things are little changed.
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London, is now offering an opportunity to discover the delights that may have been served at an Ancient Greek table. The restaurant has launched a new tasting menu inspired by an exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, ’Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth & Reality’.The ancient Palace of Knossos is located on the island of Knossos, Crete, and was a centre of the Minoan civilisation .
The Knossos labyrinth was excavated over a century ago by archaeologist and director of the Ashmolean, Sir Arthur Evans, who uncovered a rich array of artefacts, elaborate sculptures and frescoes. These treasures provide a unique insight into Minoan culture, including the serving and preparation of food and drink.
