Pastry Chef Spyros Pediaditakis
How it all started
Born in 1990 and being a reckless spirit ever since a young age- not to mention an explorer of several forms of art- it was only a matter of time before Spyros Pediaditakis discovered his true passion. Having been raised in a family where hard work has always been a significant value, Spyros took very little time before taking his first professional step.
When he was just about 18, fascinated by the technique, precision and novelty of the art of Pastry, Spyros assumed his first professional post in «Varoulko Seaside» (1* Michelin), crafting and practising this art for the following 2,5 years. Entering the world of pastry was a particularly conscious decision and as a result, his professional course has been purposefully advancing ever since.
His career
Always ready and willing to delve deeply into pastry knowledge, Spyros was trained next to highly established teams in some of the best restaurants in the world, such as the George Blanc (3* Michelin) and the Epicure – Le Bristol (3* Michelin) in France, the Fat Duck (3* Michelin) in England and the Cheval Blanc – Le Trois Rois (3* Michelin) in Switzerland, where he was proposed to assume the position of Pastry Chef. However, his love for Greece led him to Spondi restaurant (2* Michelin) in Athens, in 2016 where he became a Head Pastry Chef.
In 2019, he was awarded the title of Best Pastry Chef in the FNL Awards, followed by the Pastry Chef of the Year award in 2020, by Gault & Millau Hellas.
Spyros will never forget all the people who supported, guided and helped him discover his love for Pastry, and especially the renowned pastry chef, Themos Rigas.
