Chef George Dimitriadis

Personal Chef in Athens

My name is George Dimitriadis, and my passion for cooking began at the age of 13. From a young age, I found joy in creating new dishes and experimenting with flavors. What started as a hobby quickly became a true calling and a powerful outlet for my creativity.

Nine years later, I began working professionally as a cook while studying Culinary Arts at Alpine Center, a Swiss hospitality college known for its strong technical foundation. After graduating, I spent seven years working in some of the top restaurants in Athens alongside some of the most respected chefs in Greece, refining both my technique and leadership skills.

Between 1998 and 2000, I served as Head Chef at one of the Top 18 restaurants in Athens according to the Alpha Guide, and I was honored to be among the 30 finalists for Best Chef in Greece. From 1995 to 2011, my career took me to renowned restaurants in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Inverness, Scotland, allowing me to blend Mediterranean influence with international experience.

In recent years, I have been working as a private chef for VIP clients around the world. This chapter of my career has given me the opportunity to travel extensively, source exceptional ingredients, and continuously push my culinary creativity to new levels. Each destination has expanded my perspective and enriched my approach to food.

Beyond the kitchen, I am also a diver. Traveling the world with both the mindset of a chef and the curiosity of a diver has opened my horizons to diverse cultures and flavors, inspiring me to explore new culinary landscapes with depth and respect.

I believe life should be enjoyed through meaningful experiences, and food is one of the most powerful ways to create them. I look forward to the possibility that our paths may cross and that I may have the pleasure of cooking for you.

For me, cooking is...

where art and creativity come to life, and my greatest reward is seeing people experience pure joy through what I create.

I learned to cook at...

home beside my parents I discovered cooking, later refined through Alpine Swiss training and mastery alongside exceptional chefs.

A cooking secret...

is love, imagination, talent, and artistic expression.

Simply incredible chef! I would 100% recommend!

George and his friend were amazing. He was so kind and took care for everything (allergies, preferences etc.). We had such a good time and delicious food, btw the best moussaka!! We highly recommend george as a private chef!

Highest recommendation for Chef George Dimitradis! We had Chef George Dimitriadis prepare a traditional Greek meal for our family of 11 and it ended up being an absolute highlight of our trip. The menu and proposal was very easy, communication was seamless and the meal was incredible. We asked Chef George to do things a little different, as we wanted to learn and be a part of some of the preparation. We designed a menu that would allow him to teach us how to make some of the dishes while explaining about the ingredients, flavors, and preparation. Everyone had such a great time and Chef George was not only a talented chef (has worked at high end restaurants around the world and for celebrities) but he was fun, kind, engaging and super informative. The meal was fantastic (I'm still thinking about Galaktoboureko - a delicious Greek dessert), we learned a lot and all agreed that it it made for a very special night. Highly recommend Chef George!

The private chef George was outstanding. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail and high-quality ingredients. Every course was well balanced and thoughtfully composed. George himself was friendly, discreet, and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout the evening. Communication beforehand was smooth and reliable, and he adapted perfectly to our preferences. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend George to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience.

Chef George was amazing. The food was amazing, he presented it perfectly, communicating with him was also very easy. He was quick to respond and was very helpful. He also really made the dinner so special for my friend, she absolutely loved it. I recommend Chef George and I cant wait to have another dinner made by him!

George was incredible. He was extremely well prepared and listened to what we had requested prior. You could eat Greek food for 100 years and still not have food as good as what George prepared.

Chef George was absolutely incredible. The food was beyond delicious. This was not our first experience with a private chef and Chef George has exceeded all ! Each one of his dishes was exquisite, well presented and he provided details about the dish, the ingredients and a few hints on his secret recipes ! He is kind, attentive and shows professionalism in everything he does. I highly recommend Chef George to anyone who wants to experience high end gastronomy. I really hope that some day, our paths with cross again.

Very professional! Creative ideas and excellent attitude. Highly recommended for every occasion.

Very very good chef. Made our night

Chef George made my family's night. We are still talking about it. He kept my family entertained while he cooked and told us about sea salt, honey and olive oil. We found the salt he recommended in the shops we visited and bought some. He was very personable and interesting. You could tell how passionate he is about his craft of the food that he made. Everything was delicious and plated beautifully. I highly recommend this chef!!

Chef George made our special evening even more special! The food and service was Excellent!!! You can taste and feel the love and passion in his food and stories. Chef George, used only the best ingredients! Best Pizza, Caesar Salad with homemade croutons and dressing, and Carbonara we’ve had!! Our senses were taken care of in every way! I highly recommend Chef George!! I hope we meet again :)

We booked Georgios Dimitriadis for a special birthday celebration and were absolutely delighted with every aspect of the experience. Georgios was warm and engaging, with a good sense of humour. He was very informative about every aspect of the delicious meal he prepared. He also prepared an additional starter along with all of the promised dishes - all of which were sensational. He was generous with his time and his attention to detail was faultless. At our request he recommended wines to accompany the meal which were perfect. At the end of the meal we were keen to show our appreciation and serenaded him with a welsh classic 'Calon Lan'. An all round 5 star experience. Highly recommended!

The chef was excellent, the food was delicious, local and plentiful Not only was the dinner enjoyed by all, including the kids, but the kitchen was spotless before he left. Memorable eve, would definitely invite chef Giorgius again Thank u

Thank you for this special moment Chef !

The Chef was amazing and very friendly!!! He made the best dinner we had in Greece. The presentation and the taste was WAOUH!! Thank you so much for this amazing time!!! I recommend him a 100%

Chef George did a world class job at our villa in Greece. Every meal was excellent. The entire family was impressed, happy, and full! It was an awesome experience and would recommend George to everyone. Great chef and human being as well!

Εξαιρετικά.

Georgios was so wonderful! He was attentive and made the most incredible food. We loved every dish; he was also able to pair our meals with wine for a truly end-to-end experience. The set up was lovely and clean-up was divine. It was such a treat to not have to worry about any preparations or clean-up. He is a wonderful, professional, and very talented chef. I highly, highly recommend Georgios.

We have booked for à traditional Greek menu and were not disappointed at all. The chef was on time, very discreet and the food was excellent. Highly recommend!!
