and unforgettable shared moments.”
Philosophy
Andreas’s cooking is rooted in respect for ingredients, thoughtful execution, and natural, honest flavour. He believes great ingredients, treated with care, speak for themselves without unnecessary complexity.
A central part of his philosophy is food meant to be shared. His menus encourage guests to explore the table together, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere where food becomes a point of connection.
Guided by clarity and balance, Andreas highlights each ingredient at its best. Subtle influences from years of international experience add depth without ever overpowering the dish.
Whether in private dining or professional kitchens, he cooks with passion, discipline, and integrity — creating generous, memorable food that brings people together.
His approach values simplicity as a mark of confidence, allowing quality and technique to quietly lead.
Through every service, he seeks to create not just a meal, but a lasting sense of warmth and hospitality.

Biography
Andreas was born in Kazakhstan and moved to Greece at the age of eight, where he grew up immersed in a culture of food, family, and shared tables. This early multicultural experience shaped his sensitivity to flavour, tradition, and hospitality, and continues to influence the way he cooks today.
He began cooking at a young age and trained professionally at Levy Culinary School in Greece, developing a strong grounding in classical technique. From there, his career evolved internationally, spanning a wide range of cuisines and kitchen environments. These formative years helped shape a thoughtful, ingredient-led approach rooted in respect, clarity, and balance.
For the past twenty years, Andreas has been based in London with his family. During this time, he has worked and led teams within some of the city’s most respected restaurants and hospitality groups, including Bibendum, Orrery, Rules, the Soho House Group, Milos, Opso, and Daylesford Organic. This period refined not only his technical skill, but also his understanding of leadership, consistency, and the discipline required to deliver quality at scale across both refined and relaxed dining settings.
Andreas later opened his own restaurant in Notting Hill. Shortly after its launch, the Covid pandemic forced the restaurant to close. While challenging, the experience proved formative, strengthening his perspective and reaffirming his commitment to honest cooking, resilience, and meaningful hospitality.
Today, Andreas continues to live and work in London, drawing inspiration from the city’s diverse food culture. He enjoys travelling, discovering new flavours, and sharing his love of cooking at home — particularly with his son. Fluent across cultures and languages, he moves naturally between Russian, Greek, and English, reflecting the international outlook that defines both his life and his cooking.
