We had a magical anniversary dinner prepared by Giorgos and his lovely staff. They came to our villa and prepared a beautiful meal of meats cheeses traditional salad and all of the trimmings. Christina prepared wonderful cocktails before and after dinner. They thought of every detail. They even brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the table. Dinner finished with a lovely dessert. It was all delicious and they made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We will treasure the memories forever!!

Excellent experience. The crew and chef were top notch, food was delicious, drinks were fantastic and the overall experience was breath taking.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. We had a private chef at the villa we’re staying in, along with two wonderful waitresses and a talented bartender who crafted cocktails and mocktails for both the adults and the kids. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience — unforgettable from start to finish! 🍽️🍹✨

Amazing experience, exquisite Greek cuisine and the crew was beyond expectations! Worth every penny!

What an amazing evening! Cooking class with Chef Giorgos Kaoukis and fantastic sommelier Sofia. Great wine-food pairing and a lesson in both historical Kefalonian food, Wine and life on the island. Chef did a amazing job with us and the food in our small kitchen and we will now be able to cook authentic greek food at home. A great evening with laughter and new friends. Thank you so much!! Highly recommend this chef and his staff.

Giorgos Kaoukis prepared an amazing wine paired meal for our group with traditional foods and charcuterie with a fabulous selection local cheeses!

Our experience working with Georg and his team was truly exceptional. We were taking our family on vacation to the beautiful island of Kefalonia and wanted to treat them to something special from the local cuisine. When we approached Georg with a request to try traditional Kefalonia cuisine, he approached the menu with great care and creativity. Georg and his team prepared an incredible feast using local organic ingredients. Our event took place in a villa, where they created a four-course dinner from scratch, along with three types of freshly baked bread, homemade olive oil, and a local dessert called "loukoumades"—fried dough with honey and roasted almonds. The chef was accompanied by a Russian-speaking assistant, which was a great help for our family, who don't speak English, a professional waiter, and a skilled bartender. They not only created culinary and alcoholic masterpieces but also a warm, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere. I think the cocktail bar deserves special mention, with its bespoke cocktails and an amazing selection of wines from a local winery. Georg works exclusively with a farm-to-table approach, sourcing all ingredients from local producers himself, even picking the olives for his olive oil. Georg is not only a highly skilled professional and easy to work with, but he also has a keen understanding of his clients, allowing him to create a unique and unforgettable experience for everyone. His passion for his work is evident throughout. We are extremely grateful to Georg and his team for such a special and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend everyone contact Georg and his team if you want to make your celebration or even just a dinner unforgettable.

✨I'm eager to share my warmest reviews of the super chef and his team!! ✨ To be honest, I found him by chance on Instagram while looking at beautiful pictures of different dishes 😊 So my family and I decided to fly to the beautiful island of Kefalonia🏝️ for a vacation and swim in (in my opinion) the cleanest sea 🏖️🌊 We just happened to have a family celebration (my parents' wedding anniversary) and I decided to write to the chef to ask how things were going 👀🤓. I was pleasantly surprised when he responded very quickly and offered a variety of menu options, offering to create something tailored to us and our tastes 😊 And of course, I ordered his services. The dishes were meat-based; we can't live without meat 🤣 It's just a shame there was no lard on the table!! So, we were assured that the meat would be local, from Kefalonia butchers🥩, which is great)) They support small businesses 💪🏼💪🏼 and the wine, of course, is also from KEFALONIA winemakers🍷 I was really worried about how it would be, where they would cook (I wanted to watch the chef cook), but our kitchen was tiny and there was no stove 🤔🤷🏼 and, like in reality shows, the kitchen arrived to us 🤣 pots, basins, burners, a grill 🤣 even plates and glasses, EVERYTHING arrived, literally 🤩 and the cooking began!! I can't describe in words how delicious the cooking smelled 🥲 it was just the aromas!! We had bread and crispbread on the table that Gyorgo himself baked in front of us!!! It was simply the bomb!! Everything was so delicious! Beautiful! Naturally! They even gave us a gift 🎉 I'm a bad blogger, I didn't take a photo of our entire feast 🤣🤣 at least there is something of it!! Look how beautiful it is!! And the taste, that's another chapter!! In short, I recommend it to you 💯!! Gyorgo and the team are simply super!! They also speak many languages, so the language barrier was knocked down 🤣🎉 Don't be afraid to try something new, guys!! It's amazing!! Gyorgo efkharisto poli!! We will definitely come again!! 🤗😊✨🥳🔥🫂🫶🏼🌠

Whether privately or in my job as a wedding planner, I always enjoy working with Ionian Personal Chefs. The food is simply amazing and the service is outstanding. An experience not to be missed!

I cannot recommend Giorgos enough. I’d give him 6 stars if I could. Every element of his BBQ meal was innovative. He’d taken great care with every aspect . From flowers to cocktails to dessert. Perfect! Go for it for a real treat.

Fantastic evening with Giorgos and team. Looked after us exceptionally well for a 60th birthday party. The food was the best we’ve had in Kefalonia. Every detail thought of and left the place spotless. Thank you! Would highly recommend.

Incredible surprise dinner for my husbands 50th birthday at our holiday villa. The food, service and drink was amazing. How Giorgos created the dishes in the small kitchen is a miracle! Food seemed never ending and although we were all completely full, we just wanted it to continue! The kitchen was spotless after they left. I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I've ever had. Thank you so much Giorgos x

We're on the beautiful island of Kefalonia to celebrate a 50th birthday. Chef Giorgos and his team really made our trip magical. The dinner they prepared for us was truly exceptional. From the table decor to the food, it was faultless, an unforgettable, amazing evening. Delicious cocktails, wine and food to die for, beautifully presented and exquisite to eat, we certainly were not left hungry! With a stunning birthday cake to finish. We can't thank the Ionian personal chefs team enough! Highly recommend if you're lucky enough to be celebrating a special occasion in Kefalonia. Thanks again. Alexa

Fantastic evening! Fabulous food and such lovely guys. Really made our holiday. Thanks you! All local, traditional food to Kefalonia and it was such a feast. Highly recommend!

Giorgos and his team made a beautiful and bountiful dinner for our friend’s birthday. He put so much heart into the meal and created a special atmosphere for our entire evening. The food was delicious and was presented with so much love. He baked fresh bread, had a stunning flower arrangement on the table and baked an incredible cake for the occasion. He was accommodating of preferences and dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend his service.

Amazing food and service! Can't recommend Giorgos highly enough!

We had a wonderful experience with Giorgos and his team!! They were so thorough and they were so kind, and beautiful. They went out of their way to make sure we felt special and we had an amazing dinner. It was my friend’s 40th dinner and she was giddy with delight. From fresh baked bread to the donut course at the end, there were so many tiny details that made us feel taken care of! Each course was better than the last, and she was overjoyed with her experience. I couldn’t recommend Giorgos and his team more highly! The very best!

Giorgos and his team exceeded our expectations! From the moment we began to plan the evening to the event date, he was professional, flexible and courteous! The food they prepared was first class and the service they provided was incredible too! I highly recommend and would use Giorgos again the next time we are in Kefalonia! Thank you Giorgos!

I can only recommend Giorgos and his team. We booked him for a family dinner and the food was extraordinary. Giorgos is open to discuss menu options and to include special wishes. It is so comfortable to have someone taking care of everything, from decorating the table to cleaning the kitchen afterwards. What a wonderful evening, thanks to Giorgos and his crew!

Absolutely wonderful and unique experience. A big thank you to this amazing team. …till next time guys!!!

Delicious food, lovely people! An excellent choice for any kind of party or reception!!

Delicious Greek cuisine (and not only) flavors, all cooked on site at my best friend's wedding reception. The guests enjoyed all served courses and Chef George and his team provided us with a beautiful experience. Great Cuisine and bar service, all prepared on a location of our choosing. We already hired George and his team for future events. Recommended 5/5

Recently I attended a wedding and the food was particularly excellent. The chef George Kaoukis and his team provided fantastic service with delicious food and dreamy cocktails!

Myself and 5 friends had the honour of having Giorgos and his wonderful team create what I can honestly say, one of of the best nights of our lives. Truly, every detail is taken care of and the passion and attention to detail was out of this world. Communication with Giorgos was seamless and the menu he helped puy together for us was perfect. We had a vegan in our group and she was very well catered for. Giorgos arrived earlier than the team to prep (he had already visited the villa prior to our arrival) to ensure the kitchen facilities were OK. He was so genuine and really cared that our night was special. We had our own personal bar and cocktail menu, which went down very well, as did the perfectly paired wine choices. The food was heavenly, our waiter took every care in allowing the time we wanted between courses, the interaction with the guys throughout was fun but always professional. What Giorgos and his team create is priceless and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for providing us with wonderful memories we will hold dearly for the rest of our lives. It was the perfect evening. I would recommend to everyone that can, choose Giorgos and the team for their night/celebration etc you will not be disappointed. I hope I'm lucky enough to see you all again. Lots of love from me and the girls! X

WOW! Absolutely 100% the best food we have ever tasted. My fiancé made suggestions to Giorgos and he excelled himself for our Engagement evening. The presentation, attention to detail and combination of flavours was outstanding and made our day complete and very special. Thank you very much to you and your amazing friends who together, the service, music, cocktails and professional friendliness made memories we will never forget! 😁🥰😘♥️ #ionianpersonalchefs

My guests well totally satisfied. amazing food and excellent service.

As a local myself, I haven't seen anyone demonstrate the Kefalonian cuisine like George. He is one of the very few, that respect the local culture and they incorporate it to their art of cooking. Always uses the best quality ingredients and through the sense of taste, touches people's hearts. I wish you every success, my friend, I am very proud of you!

Dear George thank you for the lovely dinner you prepared for our guests's anniversary. They were delighted with the "most tasty" traditional dishes, the exceptional service and the whole food experience you provide. We received the best of comments for recommending you and be sure we'll do it again for our next guests!!!

I really enjoyed the private dinner. The organization, service, and food were simply amazing! I haven't found anything like this in Russia! I highly recommend the team and the chef; all your wishes will be fulfilled.

I highly recommend Ionian Personal Chefs. Thanks to Giorgos' team, your vacation/evening/party will be top-notch. He always anticipates your needs and exceeds your expectations! Bravo👏🏻! And the photo shows the most delicious kriotopita (traditional Kefalonian meat pie) I've ever had.

I hired Chef Giorgos to organise a dinner party for my family and friends on Easter day. I wanted everything to be perfect as certain family members are rather demanding when it comes to food. Chef Giorgos looked after everybody; the food was outstanding. The selection of local ingredients, the meat, the fresh salads, the sides and my personal favourite, the dessert, they were all wonderful. Great recommendation of wine! Thanks so much for setting it all up Chef, you seem to enjoy a lot what you do which only adds up to the experience. You can be assured that you are at the top of my list for such events. Looking forward to the next one this summer that I will be back to Kefalonia.
