Meet Chef Arnaud Bignon — a master of harmony and precision, whose cuisine is a true testament to creativity, refinement, and a lifelong dedication to culinary excellence.
Arnaud Bignon is the Executive Chef of the renowned Spondi in Athens, where he first took the helm in 2005. Under his leadership, the restaurant earned two Michelin stars by 2008 and secured a coveted spot at No. 69 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants extended list in 2011.
Born in Le Mans, France, Arnaud’s culinary journey began in his grandfather’s garden, where he developed a deep respect for seasonality and natural harmony—values that remain at the core of his cooking today. He refined his craft in Paris at some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens, including Montparnasse 25, Alain Ducasse at Poincaré Avenue, and Éric Frechon’s Épicure at Hôtel Le Bristol.

Known for his elegant fusion of classical French training and modern techniques, Arnaud creates dishes that embody balance, refinement, and innovation. At just 32 years old, he became one of the youngest chefs ever to achieve two Michelin stars, cementing his place among the culinary elite.
