What's going on with that left wall on the drawing? No cabinets or small table, just an open area?
Dont know how much you want to remove, but the stove area looks to be a little narrow with little counter for pots and pans when real cooking is in progress. Again, I don't know how to cook, just know how to eat. My suggestion it to remove the pantry and stuff the ref. in there, extend both upper and lower cabinets to create more counter space around the cooktop. Where the ref is now, an wall oven can go there. Its only 30" and you will gain 6' of counter because the ref. is 36". Two 3' wide floor to ceiling pantry can go to the opposite wall with counter running toward the window along with lower cabinets, no upper for a clear and open feel unless there's a table there.
Granite is a beautiful material and it works if the right one is selected and blend in with cabinets or design very well. Most people go to home centers and buy the very common cheap granite pieces so they all look the same. Stay away from those color or spices. Quartz is a great countertop material. Color is very and quality is very consistent. Inexpensive compare to other higher end granite pieces. Some of the Chinese imports are damn good stuff. I have tested them against the big US and Canadian mfg. I have granite in my own house, but if I were to do it again, I use these quality Chinese import quartz without thinking about it. they are that good, 20-30% cheaper. with the new tariff going on, I am not sure anymore but will call and fine out for you come next week. I have to call them for a client anyway.
