My name is Nikos Papadimitriou. In 2016 I graduated from culinary school in Greece and worked in 5* hotels, high end restaurants and as a chef in Leto restaurant, with respect for the profession and love for the raw materials. The idea of private chef was born when I realized that I wanted a more direct contact with the customer, because in professional kitchens you cook for guests that you don't see because you are locked in the kitchen. This idea gives me the opportunity to share with my customers my philosophy of Greek.

For me, cooking is...

about creating something delicious for someone else. It's an act of giving and nurturing

I learned to cook at...

I was fortunate to learn from culinary school in Greece and worked in 5* hotels, high end restaurants, as a Chef and as a Sou Chef in hotel Bristol

A cooking secret...

Is the spirit of the Greek gastronomy with an emphasis on good food and wine to my customers.

The chef was truly amazing. Dinner was not only delicious, but he was also exceptionally kind. The Greek food was outstanding, and the presentation was beautiful. He perfectly fulfilled all my menu wishes. I would definitely hire him again, as his cooking was superb. Additionally, the kitchen was left spotless afterwards. ???? Thank you so much Nikos for this wonderful birthday meal !

Nikos’ service was fantastic from the start of our communications to the dinner he provided us. It was all lovely food and he did a great job cleaning up the kitchen. We really enjoyed our evening with Nikos and would highly recommend his service

Nikos was excellent to work with from the initial interaction to the last bite of desert, really making our family's New Year's Eve dinner something to remember for years to come. Great engagement pre-dinner to confirm logistics, on-time and perfect cadence of courses during the dinner and wonderful to work with throughout. I look forward to hopefully having an opportunity to enjoy another meal from Nikos in the future. Thank you.

Great experience! Nikos was lovely and we really enjoyed our Christmas dinner!

Chef Nikos made our evening dinner a wonderful journey into the Mediterranean flavors! From the presentation and colors, to the touches of spiciness releasing the full potential of the dishes proposed - it was simply perfect. Chef Nikos was very attentive to details from the first message on, continuing to care all time long including a reminder of all steps few days before the event, and translated the same customer attention when coming to our place. To summarize this was a first time experience that will lead to other ones - with max credit to chef Nikos - thank you !

Chef Nikos is a real gem and he made our anniversary truly special! He is extremely polite, attentive, has a great eye for detail, and, most importantly, the food was delicious! We can wholeheartedly recommend Chef Nikos‘ service!
