Chef Ionel Panaite

We had a great experience with Ionel. We arranged this last minute and he was very flexible and accommodating. He made some wonderful food for us and the kids and went out of his way to make it extra special with small touches that made all the difference. The food was fantastic and we had the most wonderful evening. Thank you Ionel! We would definitely arrange for him to come again if we were in Rhodes.

Chef Ionel provided exemplary service for a dinner following our wedding! He went above and beyond our expectations with the menu, service and food. All courses were absolutely delicious and he was able to complete it in a very small kitchen space. Ionel truly helped make our day special, we would hire him again in a heartbeat

Ionel provided us with a truly amazing evening and food experience. He was extremely engaging in helping us arrange our menu, especially as we wanted it gluten free. The food was spectacular and exceeded our expectations and his portions were not small either. He helped us pair wines for each dish and blended in really well with everyone that evening. Highly recommended and we will use Ionel on our next trip to Rhodes next year.

Each dish was a testament to his skill and creativity, appealing to every palate present. The children's menu was fun and nutritious, while the adult offerings were sophisticated and flavorful, showcasing his versatility and dedication to quality. He was cooking fresh plates as we asked typical from the area. What stood out the most was Chef Ionel's impeccable organization and amazing energy. He coordinated everything to perfection, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for us. His thoughtfulness and helpful nature shone through in every interaction, making us feel valued and understood. In summary, Chef Ionel provided us with more than just a meal; he gave us an unforgettable experience filled with care, precision, and a personal touch that elevated our celebration to new heights. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a chef who not only excels in culinary arts but also in creating lasting memories.

This experience was amazing and was way above our expectations for our party of 6. Lonel cooked us an amazing dinner, fully needed after a full day of traveling. Each course was a culinary experience, very fresh ingredients and delicious! This was our first taste of Greece, and every part of the course was an exceptional wow moment! The salad, the numerous appetizers, second course and third course and an amazing dessert to top it off. This was a fabulous start to our vacation!! We all were amazed at the quality of ingredients and felt like we just ate at a Michelin star restaurant in the home we were staying at. We all highly recommend booking Lonel and experience this exquisite culinary adventure!! Thank you so much for the wonderful meal!! We hope to be back and do it again!

We were so pleased with the food from Ionel! He did a great job and made our night very memorable! Highly recommend!
