Tam our host/chef was great - very charismatic, friendly and knowledgeable, and good at getting everyone involved in different parts of the processes (if it involved shared ingredients). We all had ownership of our own dishes which we could adjust to our own tastes.
The menu we cooked was also great - a tasty selection of traditional Greek dishes like Mousakka and Spankopita. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to do a cooking class in Athens.

This class begins in a cool lower level which is used for the cooking classes or private parties. It was a large class of 14. But we each had our own individual stations. Some spaces were made individually and some were prepared together. Stam did a great job keeping us all entertained and busy while we learned and prepared. The class ended with a dinner of our own five dishes on the enclosed rooftop of an upscale restaurant. For an additional 22 euro there was an option wine partying with each course. We were all very proud of how well our dishes all come out. A thoroughly entertaining and educational night!

My adult daughter and I took the class and it was so much fun! The chef was so knowledgeable and really involved everyone in the process. It was great to get to know new people from around the world and end with a fantastic view!

Spyros is an excellent chef and teacher who made the afternoon fun. The dinners we each prepared for ourselves were excellent. The nighttime view of the illuminated Acropolis was a lovely bonus.

Spiros was a spirited, enthusiastic teacher. The meal was delicious with fresh, local ingredients. Instructions were easy to follow. The wine pairings were a worthwhile add on. Restaurant had great ambience with a spectacular view of the Acropolis out of one window and old fashion silent movies out of the next. The class was a small group of 8, and the restaurant wasn’t overcrowded (in the off season). Would do it again as a tour-resistant traveler.

It was a fantastic evening everyone had hands-on experience in preparing the meals we received the recipes to take home.
At the end of the evening we all had a feast eating the dishes we had prepared, it was a lot of fun the chef was brilliant

Our chefs name was Spiro. He was an amazing chef and teacher. There were 14 in our group and he took time to help anyone that needed it. The first half of the night was cooking the second half was the eating. The class was interactive, fun talking with others. And Spiro kept it lively.

Spiros is a passionate chef who loves sharing his traditional Greek recipes with the participants. The group work together to prepare and cook the five recipes. Every person is given a job to do, with everyone plating their own food. Spiros asks questions, teaches and shares about food in a very fun and informative way.
Viator - please make sure you pass on special food requests from bookings onto chef eg. Vegetarian (as this information had not been passed on. Luckily I informed chef and all was well!)

An amazing delicious, entertaining, and educational experience!!! The view was beautiful!!! Spryos was energetic, very knowledgeable, engaging, and took time to personally get to know each participant. We would definitely recommend this class for the food, the view, and the chef!

This is our second time taking this cooking class. Spiros is excellent! We brought back my parents to take the class and we all enjoyed it very much. My Dad commented it was the best moussaka he has ever had! We hope to bring back more friends in the future!

The chef was wonderful and made this a great day in Athens! Learned a thing or two about Greek cooking that I can take home with me!
robert_w, Aug 2025
Absolutely fabulous opportunity to cook some of the amazing Greek food with traditional ingredients. We were in a group of 10 and some were individual tasks and some were group. The cooking piece was explained step by step and the ingredients were explained. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours. We then moved to the rooftop dining with amazing views of the acropolis.
Tiffany_P, Jul 2025
Chef Spyros made our Greek cooking class unforgettable! It was fun, delicious, and full of heart. His passion and stories brought every dish to life. We laughed and learned a lot. The class was also well organized and hands-on. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Greek food!

Our chef, Stamatis, was incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic and enthusiastic. He made learning fun and delicious.
Kari_G, May 2025
Fantastic cooking class. The recipes were great and our chef was entertaining and so knowledgeable. One thing to mention - the class price does not include wine, but they do offer a €22 wine pairing with 4 great Greek wines. Highly recommend

My husband and I took this class with our two teenage kids. It was a class of 12. The energy of Chef Spyros throughout this class was amazing. He packed a lot of instruction into the few hours, with a sense of humour and upbeat attitude. Each participant has different tasks to help with the cooking throughout the class. We had such a good time and also enjoyed chatting with the other participants. This was one of our favorite activities we did during our week in Greece, especially for my 13 year old. We enjoyed eating our food all together in the restaurant with Parthenon view at the end of the class. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Spyros! Highly recommend this class. I suggest arriving a bit early. We sat in the restaurant downstairs and had coffee while waiting for the class to begin.

I can't say enough about this INCREDIBLE experience. Chef Spyros has designed an amazing class that made everyone feel like they were a chef! Having the opportunity to enjoy the food we made WITH the chef AND a fantastic view was the icing on the cake!!! Highly recommend!
Clark_N, Oct 2024
The chef gave great tips for cooking, he was entertaining and lively. The food we made was delicious and I would highly recommend this class. There were four of us- two couples- and it was the best cooking class any of us had ever taken
Ana_M, Oct 2024
Chef Spyros made our night extra special! His passion for the food, greek culture and for life really shows through in this cooking class. Everything has a reason behind it, his techniques are helpful and easy and we’ll definitely be making tzatziki at home! We had 2 days in Athens to end off our honeymoon and this experience was 11/10!! Highly highly recommend!
Audra_C, Oct 2024
