Private chef in Corfu

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

I cook for villas along the north-east coast at Kassiopi, Kalami, Agios Stefanos and Nissaki, on the west coast near Paleokastritsa, and around Corfu Town. The island is green, full of olive groves, and its cooking is shaped by centuries of Venetian rule.

Corfu has its own dishes: sofrito of veal with garlic and vinegar, pastitsada slow-cooked with spices and pasta, and bourdeto, a peppery fish stew. I cook them lighter alongside Ionian fish, olive oil from the island’s old groves and kumquats, which grow here and are made into a famous liqueur. Wild herbs from the hills go onto the grill.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.
