Founded in 1996 by Apostolos Trastelis, Spondi quickly became a cornerstone of Athens' fine dining scene, carving its own space by honoring international creative cuisine while embracing innovation. In a Greek gastronomic landscape not yet defined by modern dining, Spondi integrated culture, excellent ingredients, and traditional techniques with contemporary ideas. A pivotal moment arrived in 2002 with its first Michelin star, just six years after opening, solidifying its position as a leading force. The pursuit of perfection continued, culminating in a second Michelin star in 2008 under Executive Chef Arnaud Bignon, marking a significant achievement for Greek gastronomy. Bignon's influence was transformative, blending refined techniques with respect for seasonal ingredients, and his return in 2018 marked another important chapter. Throughout its history, Spondi has benefited from talented chefs, with the consistent vision of Apostolos Trastelis defining its legacy. Maintaining its Michelin stars, Spondi became a symbol of refined dining in Athens, with a dedication to sustainability and local sourcing reflecting a deep connection to tradition. From its inception to its Michelin accolades, Spondi's history is a testament to culinary artistry, innovation, and an unparalleled dining experience, seamlessly blending heritage and modernity.
