ABOUT ME
This is my story…
Spiros Davios was born in Athens on April 10th, 1975. A greek bartender, with his favourite hobby being cooking. At a young age he entered the world of dining, as a waiter’s assistant, and then as a waiter in various award-winning gastronomic restaurants! Through there he was able to meet both Greek and foreign great chefs, which thus made it possible for him to enter the kitchen both as a colleague but also as a friend! Consequently, he achieved getting trained, but he also managed to develop his knowledge in the technical part, and this also confirmed that his hobby for gastronomy was his big love! At the age of 30, this circle had closed, and bartending was the next step in his career. His rise was very fast, however the process was not that easy, as at that time, the era of fine drinking, and fine dining had just started to bloom in Greece…
"A story is way more important than recipe. A recipe can confuse you but a story… a story can inspire you."
He studied at Bar Academy Hellas, which he then proceeded to join as an instructor team for 3 years. From that point onwards, he was next to world-class bartenders such as Alex Kratena, Fluid Movement, Marian Beke, either at master classes or in big events, and competitions such as the “World Class”, and the “Athens Bar Show”. Big career milestones were his collaboration with the team of brothers Albert & Ferran Adria at “Tickets”, located in Barcelona, as well as Alain Ducasse’s academy “Le Chocolat”.
Therefore, believing that both the kitchen and the bar are a gastronomical palette of colours which are co-independent, it then led him to the path of introducing to customers to the concept of “fine drinking”, making him a pioneer in the pairing.
Bearing in mind that if you were to share your experiences, and manage to bring your customer’s childhood memories, via your cullinary selection, then the taste ceases to be temporary.
