Description

Good to Know

Our venue, “The Greek cooking lab”, offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels just like home, located in one of Athens’ most vibrant and historic districts. It's conveniently situated just a short 5-minute walk from the Monastiraki metro station. Your culinary hands-on experience will be guided by an experienced and enthusiastic instructor who brings traditional Greek family recipes to life. After our cooking is completed, you'll enjoy the homemade meal you have crafted, accompanied by a glass of local wine and of course your fellow food enthusiasts (groups are max 8 persons) — no need to worry about cleanup, we’ve got that covered! If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten free, allergies), please let us know through the messaging system at least 1 day in advance, as we’re unable to accommodate last-minute requests.

Can accommodate vegetarian adjustments at no extra charge-we need to be informed upon reservation

We meet at our cooking studio and we start our culinary journey with a walk in the Athens Central Market -6 min on foot from the studio- in order to get a first taste of Greek gastronomic traditions and habits. (Market tour’s estimated duration: ~30 min. The market tour is available only in Mon-Sat morning tours, when the Central Market is open). We return to the studio and begin our hands-on cooking experience, creating a Greek traditional menu consisted of 5 courses. While cooking, we enjoy the lively rhythms of Greek music and a glass of excellent local wine. We then sit down to a delightful meal featuring the courses you crafted, just like being invited to a Greek home for dinner!

Best experience in Greece!

My son and I decided to do this cooking class from @the_greek_cooking_lab and were BLOWN AWAY at how incredible the experience was! We were greeted with a warm, friendly welcome from Pavlos and Johanna in a Cooking Lab space that was beautiful and had great ambiance. We started with Greek coffee and proceeded to learn and cook five delicious Greek dishes. Paired with olives, cheese, bread, and wine, we had such a memorable experience. Different than a food tour (which we also love), this exp...read more

"Paul" guided us every step of the way. He made sure each of us was equally involved in the making of the various dishes. Prior to cooking, we strolled through the fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and spice markets. The Greek Cooking lab was spacious for us to prepare and eat our delicious meal. It was a wonderful experience and would recommend it to all.

Great experience. This is a very hands on cooking class where everything is made from scratch. Then you enjoy a meal with all the dishes you created. Highly recommended.
