Having graduated from a private cooking school, my goal is the continuous development as a cook. I have worked in Athens, Thessaloniki, Corfu, Crete and Mykonos for several years.

Chef Vaggelis's reviews

Vaggelis and his assistant Paco were absolutely INCREDIBLE. We have hosted many retreats over the years and his food was hands down the best we have ever had from a private chef. We loved it so much that we asked him to cater our team lunches for an event we ran just after. We are super sad that we won't get a chance to go visit his restaurant on this trip, but we absolutely 100% recommend Vaggelis and his team for any and all of your private catering needs. He dealt with a complicated list of vegan, gluten-free and omnivore requests, and provided gorgeous and delicious dishes to accommodate every single dietary requirement we had without any issues. We ran out of water and other items and he went to the store to get them for us no questions asked. 10/10 would recommend and would hire him again! Thank you Vaggelis!!

Our chef, Vaggelis Rantzas, was incredible! He was so wonderful with special touches and designed an outstanding menu for our special occasion. Vaggelis communicated frequently with me and accommodated all of my requests. His food was delicious. I highly recommend Vaggelis to anyone looking for a unique and special meal experience. Five stars!!!

Vaggelis, Dimitris, and Dimitris were outstanding. Our dinner for 14 will be an enduring memory for our family. The drinks, food, service, and presentation were incredible. I highly recommend KKS Private Chefs. We are so glad we worked with KKS for our special family dinner in the countryside near Thessaloniki. Thank you so much!
