Our Chef Jerome Serres

Jerome Serres was born in 1968 in Toulouse France, where he completed his studies in École hôtelière de Mazamet. After working in several renown Paris restaurants next to prominent French chefs, during the 80’s-90’s, he opened his own award winning restaurant in Lautrec France. Later, in 2002 he moved to Greece, where he pursued an awe-inspiring professional career, becoming one of only five chefs in Europe who have one three times one Michelin star (2003, 2006, 2007) in less than 5 years. Spondi becomes the first Relais & Chateaux in Greece under his supervision and Pil Poul earns a Michelin star just 4 months after Jerome undertakes its kitchen. 
Jerome, known for his discipline and French temperament, creates fine and refined cuisine where seasonality is its key ingredient. He loves to use citrus aromas & infusions, along with extra virgin olive oil, instead of butter, to create a fusion of Mediterranean flavors. An ardent supporter of “une cuisine franche et pure”, he believes that success in the kitchen lies in the details and the precision of execution. 
Repeatedly earning distinctions such as Premier Prix de la Grande Cuisine Européenne, Championnat de France de Dessert à l’assiette, Best Chef in Greece, Best Restaurant in Greece, Gault et Millau, Relais et Chateux honors, Jerome has undeniably marked the mediterranean gastronomic scene of the 21st century with his personal seal. For the past 10 years, he leads successful consulting for famous restaurants in the Middle East, while his innovative cuisine in the iconic Athenian restaurants Spondi, Eridanus and Pil Poul, has determined an entirely new era for many generations of Greek chefs, for whom Jerome always remains the grand master. Jerome proudly states Greece is his second homeland.

In 2023, the restaurant ventures into its eighth season, allied with one of the most important innovators of Greek Cuisine of the 21st century. The three times awarded Michelin Star French Chef Jerome Serres continues his journey in Santorini at The Athenian House for the second consecutive year.
Serres loves to reinvent Greek traditional recipes, fusing wild greens, indigenous herbs, nuts and fruits with local seafood and fresh fish. Faithful to his passion for mediterranean ingredients, such as olive oil and citrus fruits, the Chef has prepared two new spectacular tasting menus, full of plant based delicacies, while meat options are scarce and sustainable, such as pasture-raised or grass fed lambs, from local farms using low impact farming.
The restaurant also fully caters with set menus for gluten free, dairy or other intolerances, while each year it introduces a new entirely plant based menu, inspired by the richness of Greek gastronomy.
