The philosophy behind Phao

Phao's unique approach to private dining experiences — combining gastronomy 
with social connection — sets it apart from traditional dining services.

The Head-Chef Behind Phao

Theodore Armatas is the man behind Phao — the face and vision of a project 
that redefines the concept of private dining in Greece.
 

Having worked in the kitchens of Spondi and DELTA Restaurant, two of Greece's 
most acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants in Athens, he brings with him a 
wealth of experience in fine dining and a deep understanding of hospitality.

Inspired by aesthetics, cooking, and human connection, Thodoris designs 
memorable experiences.

He is not just interested in providing good food, but in creating a moment — authentic, caring, and meaningful. For him, hospitality is a way of expression. And the table, the most natural place to tell a story.
