I create soulful Mediterranean private dining in Corfu, with warm hospitality and honest seasonal ingredients.

Avner Laskin

I bring Mediterranean hospitality to your table, so you can truly relax.

I’m Avner Laskin — a Mediterranean chef with nearly four decades of experience, creating soulful, unforgettable dining experiences across Europe. From my base in Corfu, Greece, I cook for guests in private villas.

I cook with honest ingredients, warm hospitality, and the kind of flavors that connect with the person in front of me. Rooted in the Mediterranean and shaped by every place I cook, I turn each menu into a moment to remember.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to express and connect

Cooking is my form of expression—where passion meets creativity, where memories blend with flavors, and where every plate I serve tells a story.

I learned across Europe, from masters and grandmothers

I learned to cook in Paris, France. I learned to cook in Italy. I learned from chefs, and I learned from grandmothers—each place and each teacher shaped the way I cook today.

I host with heart

My secret in the kitchen is love, curiosity, and the joy of feeding others. I cook to make you feel at home—because hospitality is as important to me as flavor.

Avner’s Menus

My menus are refined Mediterranean experiences where food and hospitality come together—seasonal ingredients, simple techniques, and a flowing table designed to create warmth, connection, and a true sense of being hosted.

Stories and testimonials

Anver and his team were incredible. The food served was world class as was the service and clean up.

George Harvey

Chef Avner and Alonia were absolutely wonderful!. If you have an opportunity to book a dinner with them take it! Chef Avner sourced all seafood and produce locally that day, bringing us the freshest products. He seamlessly cooked for our large group in our Villa, doing all prep on site! His honest approach to the fresh products of Corfu impressed and delighted. His Mediterranean flavors and use of traditional Greek grill was outstanding. Let him design your meal! Trust in his culinary genius and let him lead the way!
