Everything was exceptional! Michail's talent for creating an unforgettable meal with traditional and amazing Greek dishes was most enjoyable. His attention to our request and preparation of our meal was an experience we will never forget. He prepared a grilled fish dinner while we observed the preparation of each dish was accompanied by interesting details of the ingredients, cooking process and flavors. He shared his love and passion for his craft in every step of his meal. The freshly caught fish and shrimp, yogurt from his mother's farm and honey from his uncle added a feeling of being included in a family holiday meal. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. We shared lots of stories and laughter during our extraordinary visit. Casual but elegant dining experience. An extraordinary experience witnessing Chef Michail in action and then experiencing his creations was the highlight of our evening.
Michail is a very passionate chef who made us a marvelous dinner at his home. We were served on a garden patio on the sixth floor of his building that had a marvelous view of the Parthenon and the rest of Athens. The dinner started with a nice greek white wine and a fava bean hummus with bread, and progressed to the main course of sea bream fish served with potatoes and vegetables. All four courses were cooked to perfection and lightly seasoned. And of course to top it all off we had a simple but elegant dessert of greek yogurt with honey from his cousins hives. Michail is growing spices, olives and banana trees on his garden patio. He is very passionate about cooking and gardening and is very enthusiastic when he talks about both subjects. I would do this one again!
Michael is a great cook and a warm-hearted hos. The view was stunning breathtaking and the dinner was delicious and enormous food. Thank your very much for this nice evening.
We were so excited to meet a local greek chef and spend time in his home. We envisioned great conversation, laughter, interesting stories of local life and local food. First off do not trust Google maps. It was not accurate finding this address. Even the taxi company dropped us off a block away and was not sure where the building was. The address is marked once you find it, and Michail walked to meet us to take us up to his terrace. By the way the terrace is all you will see, and at 5 p.m. it is very, very hot. He was dressed in an old t-shirt and cut off shorts, unlike all the pictures on the get-your-guide site. We were offered water and then he disappeared into his home leaving us on the terrace. The only entertainment was his small dog, Alba. No music, no conversation. He would pop out occasionally to offer a glass of wine or ask how we were doing. Over an hour later first course was served. The food was good, similar to restaurants we dined at while in Athens. Presentation was beautiful. Ample amounts of food. We were disappointed based off other reviews that mentioned a cohost and entertaining conversation etc. He seemed to be more of a waiter/server than a host/chef. Overall not worth the price the paid.
