Born in Athens and shaped by Italian and Turkish heritage, Chef Sotirios Kontos brings a globally inspired, Mediterranean-rooted culinary style to Meridia, The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort’s signature restaurant. A graduate of Chef D'oeuvre in Athens, his career includes working alongside world-renowned chefs such as Lefteris Lazarou, Nobu Matsuhisa, and Albert Roux. His dishes—like Truffle Orzo Youvetsi and Octopus Carpaccio—blend classical technique with modern flair.
Now a Hawai‘i Island resident, Chef Kontos draws inspiration from local ingredients and his Greek heritage to lead Meridia’s kitchen. With a deep respect for tradition and a passion for innovation, he is elevating the resort’s Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with fresh, seasonal flavors and artistic presentation.
