As a professional chef with extensive training from top culinary institutions, including a scholarship-backed diploma at one of Greece's finest schools, I bring a refined, globally inspired approach to private dining. Though I am originally from the island of Cyprus I started my career at one of the most popular and successful restaurants of Ibiza, Spain. My latest experience spans Michelin-starred kitchen in NYC and mentorship under renowned chefs like Jean-Georges.

For you I create custom, seasonal menus tailored to your preferences, blending bold flavors with impeccable technique. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a large celebration, I am dedicated to delivering a memorable culinary experience with the highest standards of service and respect for your space.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking for me is a puzzle of flavors.

I learned to cook at...

Since a child I remember myself learning from my father who was a chef himself. Thats when I learned the most important: the basics.

A cooking secret...

My rule* in the kitchen… Respect your paying customer. The secret remains a secret.

A Culinary Maestro Like No Other – The Chef You Didn’t Know You Needed in Your Life From the moment Chef Markos walked into our home, there was a quiet confidence about him—the kind you only see in true masters of their craft. What unfolded that evening wasn’t just dinner; it was a gastronomic experience of the highest order. The type of night that lingers in your memory like the first time you fell in love. The first bite set the tone—a perfectly balanced salmon dish, accompanied by yucca so delicately crisp and seasoned it could have made a grown man weep. The textures, the interplay of flavors—it was as if he had orchestrated a symphony on the plate, where every note was intentional, every taste in perfect harmony. Then came dessert. My God, the dessert. I’ve eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world, but what Chef Markos delivered was nothing short of revelatory. Imagine a chocolate lava cake so rich, so impossibly decadent, that it felt like biting into a moment of pure indulgence. And then, as if that weren’t enough, he paired it with a velvety vanilla bean ice cream that melted just slowly enough to tease the senses. This wasn’t just dessert—it was the closing act of a masterpiece. Beyond the food, Chef Markos embodies everything you want in a private chef. He is personable, intuitive, and possesses an almost sixth sense for crafting a meal that speaks to both the palate and the soul. His attention to detail is meticulous, his technique flawless, and his ability to elevate the ordinary into something unforgettable is what makes him a true artist. If you’re considering hiring Chef Markos, let me make it easy for you: DO IT. He’s the difference between a good night and an unforgettable one. Between a meal and an experience. Between just eating and falling in love with food all over again. Trust me—you want this man in your kitchen. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t. ⭐ 5/5 – An absolute must-hire.

Chef Markos was so personable, professional and friendly. He let us know everything he needed beforehand which gave us peace of mind. He was also very responsive. When we asked for a different dessert option, he was so happy and willing to help us. Everything on the menu he designed was delicious, creative and impeccably well done. The yucca fritters were especially well done as he added mozzarella cheese which we absolutely loved. We seriously cannot wait to have him back and try all of the food he creates. Do not hesitate to book him for your next occasion!
