It was amazing! Stam was our instructor and he was terrific. Very engaging, entertaining and knowledgeable, he taught us about the origins of much of what we were creating and helped us understand how it all comes together. He shared cooking techniques and tips and tricks and made it all seem so easy! The room where the cooking class took place was cozy and beautiful - really conducive to what we were doing. Then we got to go on the roof to enjoy the DELICIOUS food with great views of the Acropolis and city. Stam was also helpful in sharing recommendations for other places to visit and things to do in Athens and beyond. A tremendous resource! We're excited to try these recipes at home and see if we can come close to how amazing they were when we created them with the group. It was definitely a highlight of our week in Athens. Don't hesitate to book this class - it is not to be missed!!

Food was really good, and our chef was very knowledgeable and patient with us. It was a fun way to spend an evening in Athens! Based on the event description, I thought that wine pairings were included in the dinner, but they would have been an extra 22 Euros per person.

Excellent experience! Fun to learn and cook the different dishes. Stam was wonderful, we couldn't have asked for a better teacher/chef.
Andrea_J, Apr 2026
The chef was amazing and the others I was in the class with made the experience well worth it. Food was flavorful and things I never had before and to be able to have the food we cooked together served to me at the table of the rooftop of the artist Athens restaurant with the view of Acropolis sealed the 5 stars. I would take another class with chef and recommend for anyone in Greece.

Kate_A, Apr 2026
A highlight of my week in Athens! Stamatis was brilliant, his enthusiasm for the food, for Greek culture, and the work shone through and made the whole experience better! I went solo but was in a group with a family and a young couple, it seemed like we all had a blast! The food turned out amazing, we were all impressed that pretty easy ingredients and simple instructions to follow could make such incredible meals! Each dish was perfect and complimented the others well! Certainly recommend the wine pairing, all added another layer to the experience and were excellent in their own right! Definitely visit Stam on your next trip!

Novice to highly experienced Chefs/Cooks will enjoy this experience.
We all took a part in the making of each classic dish. Stam is a great Chef and leader. He made the experience entertaining, simple and fun. I have taken many cooking classes throughout Europe. I consider this one as my favorite.

My sister and I had a great time! The class was a great balance between informative and fun, and the food was delicious. The view for the dinner was stunning as well. Would absolutely recommend!
Carol_D, Mar 2026
The view of the Acroplis is beautiful at night, but the entire event is all about the chef and the teaching, the conversation and laughter, the informal and relaxed few hours with him and fellow aspiring cooks. We all clearly created our own dishes and could then enjoy. The optional wines to accompany I recommend to complete the dining experience. Thankyou for a wonderful memory Stam.
Stephanie_H, Mar 2026
I would definately recommend this experience. Our chef was wonderful and the kitchen was very clean. We enjoyed our entire experience, including dinner afterward.
Peggy_T, Mar 2026
It was fun to help cook. We learned about a lot of the spices grow right there in Athens. The chef we had was great, very helpful and fun. I would do it again.
Susan_N, Mar 2026
Stamatis was an excellent teacher. Besides all the fabulous recipes, we enjoyed his historical and personal stories that brought richness to the experience.
Stamatis allowed each student to participate in the cooking process for the group, as well as, our own food.
We met wonderful people and enjoyed our wine pairing and sharing our experience.
David_M, Mar 2026
Come with an appetite. The menu, the ingredients, and finally the meal are incredible. You won’t go home hungry! From the intimate kitchen that we cooked our meal to the beautiful view from our rooftop dining where we ate our prepared dinners, this experience was first class from beginning to end!
Sam_T, Mar 2026
Spyros, our main chef, was incredible! He is very charismatic and has lots of great jokes and talent. He makes the class very enjoyable and very easy to understand, even for beginner chefs. Not only was the food amazing, but so was the hospitality. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so beautiful with a great view of Acropolis. Thank you so much to Spyros and members at The Artist for such a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to do it again!
Delaine_B, Mar 2026
This cooking class is top notch. You not only learn how to mage the recipes but the resin behind the techniques. Spyro was very engaging, friendly , and engaged everyone in attendance. Dinner at the rooftop cannot be compared. It was the icing on the cake to end the evening. I highly recommend this tour!
