Seachange for cafe owner

Returning to Ettalong is a seachange for the owner of a new cafe in Ettalong.

Karandonis Kitchen opened early August in what was the French patisserie opposite the Ettalong Memorial Club in Memorial Ave, Ettalong.

Proprietor Evan Karandonis has had 12 years experience in the industry and used to come to Ettalong as a child.

He has always had extremely busy businesses, including a hotel in Redfern.

His aim is opening a cafe in Ettalong to establish a place where he can develop a Greek/Mediterranean atmosphere and introduce these foods to local residents.

Ninety percent of their products are made fresh on the premises using quality ingredients and Greek influenced flavours.

His parents help him in this with his mother providing the genuine Greek touch.

The business is currently open from 7.30am to 5pm but with the warmer weather approaching he plans to open at night as well.

Evan lives locally and is looking forward to developing the business into a popular eating spot.
