Athens: Small Group Cooking Class & Private Balcony Dining

Step into the authentic flavors of Greek cuisine with a hands-on cooking class in the heart of Athens, visit the market, and cook traditional dishes in a spacious setting with balcony and city views.
Welcome to an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of Athens! At Native Tongue, we invite travelers from around the world to immerse themselves in the flavors, history, and culture of Greece. During our cooking classes, you’ll learn to create a selection of mouthwatering dishes that have been cherished by locals for generations.

The experience takes place in small group classes, allowing you to enjoy the process in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. This semi-private, shared experience is hosted in a stylish space, where you’ll enjoy a hands-on cooking class and a private dinner on our large balcony with stunning city views, exclusively for this small group.

You will start your journey by shopping for fresh ingredients at the bustling Central Food Market of Athens, known as Varvakeios Agora, where the city’s energy and everyday food culture come alive.

After a short market visit, you’ll take a short walk to our carefully curated space in the heart of Athens. Set on a high floor and filled with natural light, it features a large balcony with open urban views, comfortably above the city’s noise.

Guided by our professional chef, you’ll prepare iconic Greek dishes using the ingredients you’ve chosen, take extra ideas for small twists on every recipe, and once everything is ready, you’ll sit down together to share and enjoy your creations, just like a traditional Greek family table.

On Sundays, the market is closed, so the market visit is not available. Instead, we will prepare traditional Greek coffee together and enjoy it, before the cooking class begin.
