Tolis, a native of Thessaloniki, discovered his passion for cooking at a young age. Now married and with a child, he works as a chef in one of the city's finest and most popular restaurants.

Having been honored and received numerous gastronomy awards, his entire career reflects his dedication and outstanding skills in the culinary arts. He has also specialized in the field of oenology, seamlessly combining this expertise with his cooking performance.

Tolis’ philosophy emphasizes the sharing of culinary knowledge, believing that cooking should have no secrets and that information should be passed down to ensure its longevity and enjoyment by as many people as possible. He is eager to reveal Thessaloniki's local gastronomy, inviting guests to explore the techniques, aromas, and flavors of the city's multicultural cuisine.
