Xenex designs and builds top-of-the-line professional kitchens for luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants. Discover the latest trends in kitchen equipment and optimal ergonomic design through the example of the “La Bouillabaisse” restaurant at Minos Beach Art Hotel.
Standing proud in the idyllic Cretan coast lies the Minos Beach Art Hotel, a luxurious destination that showcases the best of Greek hospitality. When the award-winning "La Bouillabaisse" restaurant set its sights on renovating its kitchen, Xenex, Greece’s premier foodservice equipment supplier, stepped up to the challenge. The aim was clear: design a kitchen space that would facilitate the creation of truly outstanding Mediterranean cuisine while meeting the standards of excellence, efficiency, and sustainability.
Premium Professional Equipment by Marrone, Mibrasa, Convotherm, and Phoenix
During the implementation of this project, a series of consultations with the hotel’s culinary team ensured that every aspect of the kitchen space would support their process. Ultimately, the result was a kitchen that felt intuitive to its users while also boosting efficiency and safety.
At the heart of the kitchen, Xenex installed cooking equipment by Marrone, one of Italy’s leading manufacturers of bespoke cooking suites. The premium cooking units allowed the chefs at "La Bouillabaisse" to maintain accurate temperatures and high quality while preparing the most delicate seafood dishes.
A Mibrasa charcoal oven was added to the kitchen to provide that distinct smokiness of several of the restaurant’s most popular dishes. The Spanish-made equipment utilizes the traditional methods of cooking with fire while offering precise control of the entire cooking process. A Convotherm combi oven was also installed, featuring steamers, convection, and combination cooking modes. The combi ovens by Convotherm give the chefs more freedom to prepare dishes in any method they desire while conserving valuable kitchen space.

Another special highlight of this project was the installation of a custom Phoenix grilling station that was specially selected to the exact specifications of the culinary team. The cutting-edge unit featured adjustable wheel grills to give the chefs total control over cooking temperatures and flame. This allowed the chefs to have exceptional flexibility and consistency, which is key to creating the restaurant’s wide range of grilled dishes inspired by the Mediterranean. Finally, the preparation areas were fitted with a multifunction JIPA device, which increased workflow and chef comfort during busy service times.
Sustainability and Performance Solutions by Xenex for Professional Kitchens
Meiko dishwashing systems from Germany rounded out the kitchen equipment, giving the culinary team unparalleled cleaning power while minimizing water and energy use. This commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with the Minos Beach Art Hotel’s environmental practices, which has helped "La Bouillabaisse" operate at a high level while leaving less of an impact on the environment.
Xenex's team understands that exceptional culinary spaces must also have exceptional culinary equipment. This means using the best brands like Marrone, Mibrasa, Convotherm, Phoenix, Jipa, and Meiko to give the culinary team the best equipment to do what they do best. The hotel found a partner in Xenex that not only understands kitchen equipment but also the culinary arts. This is why Xenex is the go-to choice for luxury hospitality destinations across Greece and abroad, where nothing less than the best will do.
