Andreas Papadakis

Andreas Papadakis is executive chef and co-owner of Tipo 00, the best-loved pasta bar in the country. Andreas's background is high-end cooking, but in 2014 he decided his calling was pasta. He started working in a local restaurant in Athens as a kitchen hand when he was 15 and within a year he was working alongside the chefs. He subsequently trained at the Ecole Ritz Escoffier in Paris and travelled extensively through Italy, where the sense of community and mastery of elegant, simple food became the inspiration for the way he wanted to cook.
