A Greek family.
A home on Texel.
From Nikos and Maria to Valentino: Yamas is all about sharing food, Greek hospitality and dishes with a family story.
An island feeling.
A family story.
Our family has brought a little of Greece to Texel since 1996. Nikos and Maria laid the foundations with Greek hospitality and traditional dishes. After a spell on the mainland, their love of the island brought them back in 2009.
In 2012, their son Valentino opened his own restaurant. At Yamas, those family traditions live on: gathering around the table, food prepared with love and the warmth of a Greek welcome.
Every traditional recipe was written by Maria, the mother of the family. She was not only the head chef, but also the heart and backbone of the restaurant.
Better when shared.
Yamas is short for “Stin igia mas”: to our health. It means more than cheers. It is the feeling of sharing a generous table, delicious food and good company. Take your time, raise your glass and let your evening begin. Yamas!
