Fusion restaurant
Restaurant
Nolan is a trendy and compact restaurant located on Voulis street in downtown Athens. The stylish eatery offers an eclectic menu featuring elevated Asian fusion cuisine, with influences from Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Peruvian, and Chinese culinary traditions. Chef Sotiris Kontizas skillfully combines his Greek and Japanese heritage to create unique dishes that blend Asian and Greek ingredients.
Dining at Nolan in Athens was such a wonderful experience. Every dish was beautifully prepared, but the pork in particular stood out—it was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and simply unforgettable. The entire team here was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, making us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. Their service was beyond excellent, the kind where you can tell they genuinely care about your experience. It’s the kind of place where great food and heartfelt hospitality come together perfectly

Most of the food was good. However, the presentation and service were very poor. They didn't change the plates or remove the forks at all; by the end, I had about 8 forks and spoons piled up on the table. Four different waiters served the table, and in the end, they insisted on a 20% tip, which would have amounted to €24 of the bill. So, you end up feeling awkward choosing a 0% tip, even though it's not mandatory. I can say that crab dish and bread were especially good, but overall nothing exceptional.

I went to this restaurant after a long day, without a reservation. They offered me a seat at the bar and recommended a couple of dishes. The menu was small, with interesting fusion style options. It’s a small restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The food came quickly and was excellent. The flavors worked really well together and I really enjoyed both dishes. Definitely a place I would recommend. Great food, friendly service and reasonably priced.

I had a beautiful lunch experience at Nolan. Everyone is smiley and with a nice and well educated manners also willing to explain something about the restaurant. I enjoyed the good vibes, young chill and cool which are also reflected in the beautiful and very careful but unexpected and interesting combination of ingredients. It really worths a try. ❣️

Very nice place, on the higher end, with small plates. Nice service and atmosphere. Food was very good , definitely recommend the sea bream tartare. However the cod with the wasabi mayo was a bit salty, and the smashed cucumber salad more sour than we would like. Overall very good, but a bit too expensive for the food offered.

Restaurant
Spondi Restaurant, located in a neoclassical building in central Athens, offers an upscale dining experience featuring contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. The vaulted stone dining room and courtyard provide a classic and elegant ambience, complemented by expert lighting.
Absolutely exceptional experience. We came in just for desserts — and were truly amazed. Every element was refined, balanced, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive yet discreet, and the atmosphere elegant without being pretentious. A true Michelin-starred gem in Athens. We’ll definitely return for the full tasting menu.
Ağamehdi N — Google review
I recently dined at this Michelin-starred restaurant and overall had a good experience. The atmosphere struck a nice balance of elegant yet relaxed, and dining outdoors added a special touch that made the evening enjoyable. The food was truly the highlight. The Pollock was my favorite dish of the evening, perfectly executed and full of flavor. I also really appreciated the amuse-bouche, which set a wonderful tone even before the bread was served. Across the menu, dishes were consistently well-crafted and made the price feel justified — the culinary side of the experience was excellent. Where the restaurant fell short was in the service. While the staff was approachable and discreet, they provided very little information about the dishes or the wine pairings. At times it almost felt as if they weren’t familiar with what they were serving, which was a bit disappointing for a restaurant at this level. The pacing of the meal, was well managed, but can’t believe we were sharing our ice bucket with two more tables 😨 When we arrived, the table and plates had some debris from the trees I think the service could be improved to match the high standard set by the kitchen. A little more engagement and knowledge from the staff would elevate the entire experience.
Marios K — Google review
My experience at Spondi was mixed. Let’s start with the setting: for a high-end restaurant, the ambiance felt rather average. Small, classic tables, nothing extraordinary, nothing that really immerses you. It’s worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but let’s say it’s not a deal-breaker. After all, I came for the food, not for Instagram-style décor. Still, it’s worth mentioning. Now, on to the cuisine. The beginning was excellent: the amuse-bouche of wagyu beef and arugula cigar was incredible. The duck that followed was also very good. However, the fourth course, lobster with peanut curry, was a disaster in my opinion. The flavor combination was, frankly, unpleasant—I couldn’t finish the dish. Perhaps it’s a matter of personal taste, but I found it poorly conceived. Aside from that, the rest of the savory dishes were solid. Where the experience truly collapsed was the dessert. The phrase “ending on a high note” definitely did not apply here. The mignardises were disappointing, including a melon and Espelette pepper candy that was simply unpleasant. The final coffee-based cake felt like something from a random neighborhood patisserie in the Paris suburbs—far from Michelin standards. The lemon dessert and the ice cream were also just average, again below expectations. The entrée was excellent, the main courses were overall solid, but the dessert ruined the entire experience. And that matters, because as people often say: guests remember the ending. I left with a bitter aftertaste—literally. For a bill of €160, which represents nearly a quarter of the average monthly salary in Greece, one expects a far more uplifting and memorable finale. On a positive note, I must highlight the impeccable service. The staff were extremely professional, both in their explanations and in the pacing of the meal. Overall, I would give this restaurant 14/20. The beginning of the meal was very promising, but the ending fell far short. I personally would not return, mainly because of the desserts, though I can acknowledge that the overall dining experience had strong qualities.

We tried the degustation menu and were satisfied by the presentation and taste. Good wine and cocktail selection. Service was very good and detailed. Sitting inside can give one the feeling that there is lack of privacy, due to the fact that the place is small and a large number of staff is gathered very close to the tables.

I went recently after some years for a business meeting and everything was amazing! ULTRA excellent, discrete and friendly stuff, amazing dishes and pastry (their pastry chefs should also open a boulangerie in Athens as the pastry was in another universe, similar to ones i had at the best boulangeries in Paris), deserts, main courses, drinks and the ambience of the restaurant were exceptional. Would recommend it 100% Let’s hope next year you reach your second star, why not a Third ⭐️/ as you certainly have the team and capacity to do so!!

Spondi in Athens is an outstanding fine dining experience that truly goes above and beyond. What impressed us most was how the team created a special vegetarian menu just for us, with dishes that were not only beautifully presented but also full of creativity and flavor. The service was warm and attentive without being overwhelming, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and inviting. Every course felt like a work of art, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into making our evening special. A top choice for anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience in Athens.

A truly fantastic experience from beginning to end. Every bite of food better than the last, from amuse bouche to petit fours… but that smoky butter is something I will dream about for a long time. Excellent service - knowledgeable and welcoming, friendly and sincere… it’s a MUST visit for anyone in Athens.

Fantastic food, friendly service, spacious space, elegant atmosphere. I went there with a big group with work colleagues. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to different diat requirements. Because we were a bug group we had a set menu, still plenty to choose from. All the food was fresh and delicious. We were the loudest group there, thank you for the staff for being so friendly and accommodating to a big group of Australians.

Visited for dinner and ordered via the a la carte menu. The atmosphere is beautiful and the waiting staff were very friendly and as attentive as they should be. Many of the items were great (with the exception of the Greek rib eye which was slightly underwhelming) but they all lacked the wow factor you expect at such a price range. The Spanish beef fillet was amazing and definitely the highlight of the night. All in all, Cookoovaya is a very nice option in the area, but there are far better options at this price range.

The restaurant is definitely in the top 10% of local greek cuisine. Modern approach to excellent ingredients with talented kitchen staff and very good table service. My waitress Anastasia was fabulous, charming and knew the menu. Praises to chef the cuisine- Anna. They have one more new location on an island.

Really dissapointing food. Extremely expensive for what it is. A salad of basically boiled potatoes for €20, the tiniest piece of amberjack fish served with literaly half a zuchini for €38, the driest piece of seabass fish served with barely boiled wild greens for €35. An untasteful joke. The service was great though! The tables near the open kitchen get way too much heat, best avoid.

This is a very nice restaurant with an elegant, tasteful interior. You can tell that a lot of attention was put into the design — it feels refined but comfortable. The tables are well spaced, offering a sense of privacy that many places lack, and the restaurant itself is quite spacious. The food is excellent and the wine selection is truly impressive — carefully chosen and perfectly matched with the menu. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars for the service. Perhaps we were drinking a bit faster than usual, but we often had to pour our own wine, which slightly took away from the otherwise classy experience. Overall, it’s a sophisticated and stylish restaurant, ideal for a nice evening out — though not exactly cheap.
Maja D — Google review
I'm going this place the benefit of the doubt, it came highly recommended but I wasn't blown away by this meal. The raw fish of the day was so citrusy it was overpowering, I couldn't enjoy the natural flavors of the raw fish or other ingredients, it was just a melange of textures "a la limon." Truly disappointing bc I love a good crudo, and it wasn't cheap. My second dish was was the slow cooked goat, it was juicy and tender, but slightly on the sweet side which isn't my preferred flavor profile but others might enjoy it. The potatoes that accompany it were more like potato chips than fries. The staff was kind, and the restaurant is beautiful, don't know if I will give it another try as its quite pricy. One other thing, I didn't enjoy the style of service here in Athens that I experienced a few times at fine dining restaurants. As soon as you sit down, the waiter appears and, even before you get the menu they ask if you would like a certain item, it feels rushed, the client feels pressured and its s bit sneaky to ask if they want to have something like bread if its a premium product w an upsell without letting them know. I'd give this place a 3.9 if I could but since its not a 3 I'll give it a 4, in my opinion.

Restaurant
Ark is a sprawling and sophisticated venue located on the Athens Riviera at Asteria Glyfada. It features a comfortable cafe, a serene waterfront restaurant, and a terrace. The establishment offers vibrant music, imaginative cocktails, and rare coffee blends. With its attractively decorated location, Ark provides quality tastes at reasonable prices. The gastronomy at Ark is curated by renowned chef Giannis Baxevanis and focuses mainly on sea-inspired flavors served in small portions.
This place is an 11/10 for the view. The food and service is exactly what you would expect for a premium restaurant overlooking the beautiful Athens Riviera and the prices are very reasonable. Incredibly friendly staff is spotless including the bathrooms which have service. Valet parking on site. It's a good idea to call ahead for a reservation. I would highly recommend 👍👍
Jim S — Google review
We visited Ark in Glyfada to celebrate my sister’s birthday, hoping for a relaxed and memorable afternoon. The location, part of a stylish seaside complex, is visually impressive , modern design, elegant interiors, and a welcoming first impression. I had mentioned the birthday when making the reservation (which was easy and efficient), and while I didn’t expect special treatment, a bit more attention in seating or service would have been appreciated something that should be standard in a place of this level. Unfortunately, the initial service felt disinterested and unengaged. Luckily, a different team member took over and improved the experience. The real letdown was the food: the all-day menu shown online was not available, and we were limited to a rather uninspired breakfast selection. The €20.50 breakfast was disappointing: oily scrambled eggs, dry bread, and little balance in flavor or nutrition. For the prices (Iced tea €8, coffee around €5–6), expectations are naturally higher- especially in terms of ingredient quality, composition, and care. Something like eggs with vegetables, a seasonal fruit salad, or an avocado toast would feel more in tune with what modern brunch-goers might expect. Even small touches, like excessive butter served in the outdoor heat, felt misaligned. Beautiful place, but the experience didn’t quite live up to the setting — there’s definitely potential, but also room to grow.

I went for dinner with my friends at Ark and we were lucky to get a table right by the sea. The setting was absolutely beautiful and calming — a perfect spot to watch the waves and enjoy the atmosphere. However, the service was slow, and the staff didn’t come across as particularly polite or attentive. The prices were surprisingly high, especially considering this is a restaurant in Greece and not London 😅. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary to justify the cost. It felt more like you’re paying for the location than for an exceptional culinary experience.

Located on the 6th floor of the Onassis arts center, Hytra Restaurant & Bar offers a sophisticated and cosmopolitan dining experience with stunning views of the Acropolis. The venue prides itself on high-quality service and hospitality, creating a warm and homely atmosphere while showcasing Greek cuisine using local ingredients and traditional recipes. The bar serves unique cocktails crafted with Greek herbs, spices, syrups, liqueurs, and brandies.
This was one of the most amazing meals I’ve had in my life. Every plate was an explosion of flavors, all perfectly blended to create a superb culinary experience. The service was impeccable. My only complaint was the location, which is temporary. My understanding is their new space closer to the tourist areas will be open soon. This is an expensive restaurant, especially if you order alcohol, but to me it was worth every penny.

We had an excellent meal overlooking the city of Athens yesterday evening! We opted for the 10 course degustation and each dish was delicious. Even the bread course stood out as both interesting and delectable! Our main server, Orfeas, was warm and professional with excellent English speaking skills. The whole staff, in fact, was great and very accommodating to us considering we had a stroller and a young infant with us. We would totally recommend Hytra to people who are looking for a fine dining/tasting menus in Athens!

Bit mixed feelings about this one. I went on Friday evening. I think the venue will looks better during the day or on a nice summer evening. The interior is nice but nothing special. Also thought that about the bathrooms. Staff was nice and did a good job. I had the tasting menu and the premium wine pairing. The food was tasty, nicely presented, but something is missing to make it special. Wines were great, but the somelier was missing the excitement and did not give a lot of information about the wines. Also I think in they rushed trough the first 3-4 dishes. Anyway, you can give it a try, especially when you get the chance to go there during the day or a early summer night,

Lovely place with a beautiful setting and the views. We had the degustation menu and enjoyed a lot of dishes. However for a Michelin starred restaurant I would expect that they would cater also to the non-drinking crowd at least at some basic level, but was disappointed to hear that my options are limited to soda or non-alcoholic beer.

We came for a birthday celebration meal, we had pre-ordered the menu we wanted to eat, and when we arrived the waiter handed us a menu anyway and we were a little confused. We wanted to taste wine and order a glass and the waiter offered us a bottle and in the end we paid a lot. The waiter spoke very quickly and we had a hard time understanding him. He was charming and helpful, so I would like to praise him for that, but it's not just because of the service that you come to a restaurant like this, we came to eat and we were disappointed. We chose a vegetarian route, and I have to say that if you don't know how to handle vegetables well, it's better not to give the option, the first courses were strange, not tasty and really strange textures. The bread with butter was delicious, the beets with butter and soy sauce were okay but a very simple dish that anyone can make at home, and the desserts were very tasty. I have to say that we left the restaurant feeling nauseous, the food was very not to our taste, and there was also a long wait between courses. And I didn't mention that they poured the water we ordered for another table, there was a cat sitting next to us at the next table, and the restrooms were not as clean as expected for a restaurant like this. Unfortunately, I will not recommend and will not return to the restaurant.

The menu includes delicious vegetarian options and cheeses from various regions of Greece. Guests can enjoy daily specials or popular dishes like crispy meatballs, hand-cut chips, and Cretan cheese pies with honey and mint.

The food is just amazing and full of surprises. It’s not the ordinary type you can get anywhere in Greece, it comes with some unexpected taste and unexpectedly amazing! We ordered the grilled sardines, the veggie sauce for the fish is amazing, sweet and sour with tons of freshness, perfect combination with the sardines! We did not get the tables in the lovely courtyard, but sitting indoor is equally nice in hot summer.

Beautiful garden setting – make sure to reserve! This restaurant has a stunning garden atmosphere, but be sure to make a reservation if you’d like to sit there — it fills up fast. We were seated in the back area, which was comfortable, but the garden is definitely the highlight. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Kavourma with hummus, roasted eggplant with feta, and chicken risotto — all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The highlight, though, was the cheesecake with lime and almond crumble. It was the smoothest, most delicious cheesecake I’ve had in Greece. Highly recommend!

The BEST Greek salad I have ever tried in my life. So good we had to order another one.

We had a fairly simple meal at this cute, out of the way restaurant with a large outdoor seating area and a spacious indoor dining area as well. We did not have a reservation and we were sent inside to set although it did seem that there were plenty of tables available outside. That was fine. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food was made, nothing exceptional for some pretty basic Greek dishes. I would not need to go back to this place if I return to Athens. Probably better to go with a group of friends and get a bottle of wine and some snacks. Seems very popular with tourists.

It's an ideal spot to savor Greek meze like ouzo and well-cooked octopus while detached from the city's crowdedness, providing a feeling of calmness and relaxation.
Always a great armosphere and fresh environment, especially when the weather is good. The place was renovated and has high end shops around for you to browse or buy, as well as valet. Food is good and service is fast and cheerful to assist you. They have great coffee, so I totally recommend for a chill day in the most beautiful part of southern Athens!

We had an amazing meal at Moorings! The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared, and the martinis were perfectly mixed. On top of that, the view was absolutely breathtaking! Dining by the water with such a stunning backdrop made the evening unforgettable. Also amazing shopping in the marina! Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Vouliagmeni.

We were astounded by the beauty of this restaurant. The incredible view overlooking the water, the marble top tables, and the clean, elegant black and white color palette throughout the entire space created a very professional, business, and polished ambiance. Since we had a large party of six, we decided to order a bit of everything from the menu. Each dish emphasized quality and presentation. Some of my favorites included the “crab rangoons” (shrimp filled with cheese), the spicy salmon sushi, the feta salad, the octopus, and the squid ink linguine. However, nearly everything we ordered was delicious. There was a good balance of Asian-inspired dishes like sushi and the “shrimp rangoon,” as well as Italian-inspired dishes like tiramisu and a few of the pastas. I also wanted to highlight the exceptional quality of the desserts. The tiramisu was exquisite, while the chocolate mousse and the fruit-flavored one were both very impressive. Each person in our group had a different favorite dessert. Is this the best value meal? No, but it’s an elite restaurant experience that’s meant to celebrate an occasion.

I would give it a 5 star because if any restaurant or cafe opens with this view no matter who is the operator it would be lovely because it has a lovely open sea view and marina view .. thats why i rated it 5 stars for atmosphere.. the service is okay the waiter is not very cooperative i asked for avocado toast with the rye bread which is on the menu and just add scrambled eggs to it but he said no its not possible .. he says scrambled eggs only comes with english bread which is weird all breakfast spots have side scrambled eggs.. the place has a bar lounge vibe but at the same time serves breakfast until 1 .. good variety overall for a quick bite at a random time of the day..

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moorings Restaurant in the Athens Riviera, and it was an exceptional experience. The dinner was superb, with each dish meticulously prepared and bursting with flavor. The seafood, in particular, stood out – fresh, expertly cooked, and delicious. The sweets were the perfect end to the meal, with each dessert being as delightful as the last. The surroundings of the restaurant add to the charm, offering a beautiful view of the seaside and yachts. The ambiance is serene and picturesque, making it an ideal spot for a memorable evening. Highly recommended!

I am delighted to share my outstanding experience at Moorings Restaurant, a true culinary gem. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the inviting ambiance and the promise of an exceptional dining experience. A standout aspect of my visit was the remarkable hospitality provided by Mr. Emil, the restaurant manager. His professionalism and genuine warmth set the tone for the evening. Mr. Elie's expert guidance on the menu was invaluable; he possesses an impressive knowledge of every dish and wine, making tailored recommendations that perfectly suit individual tastes. His attention to detail and ability to connect with guests create an atmosphere of comfort and delight. It is clear that Mr. Emil is dedicated to ensuring that every visitor feels special and well-cared for, which significantly enhances the overall experience. The culinary offerings at Moorings are equally impressive. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor and creativity, showcasing the finest ingredients. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Moorings Restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. With Mr. Emile leading the way in hospitality, you are in for a truly memorable evening filled with exquisite food and unparalleled service. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this remarkable restaurant!

Prime location food is quite good. Obviously expensive because of its location. Some people may find it a bit snobby. Even if there are a few empty tables and you asked to move to one of the prime tables outside, they may say no it is reserved even when you know it’s not reserved. This happened to us we were there for an hour and a half and no one came to the prime tables. We did have to send the tuna back because it was undercooked. My wife prefers it more cooked & we explicitly told them when we ordered how we like the tuna to be cooked. They did exchange without any argument & brought it back correct back. Peak season definitely book ahead.

Varvakios Central Municipal Market in Athens is a bustling hub where locals shop for fresh fish, meat, and produce. The historic market is filled with the fragrant aroma of Greek ingredients and lively butchers vying for your attention. You can also find food stalls offering traditional Greek dishes like gyro, souvlaki, feta cheese, and Greek salad. Additionally, the market features restaurants serving authentic Greek mezethes at reasonable prices.
Really nice this market. It’s very organised and tidy. You may find it very interesting if you are a nuts / seafood / herbs lover, as majority of these grocery are fairly cheap. In general, it’s really a nice place to feel local Greek culture and food.

ΒΑΤΙΣΤΑΣ fish stall is the best one I have come across here at this fish market. They speak English, are very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The produce is excellent 👌 I buy Salmon and Sea Bass from here. You can get your fish filleted and they do an excellent job too. Go here first!!! (but save some fish for me, 🙏 😉)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Authentic Market Experience in the Heart of Athens! This is an absolutely fantastic meat and fish market right in the center of Athens — a must-see for anyone who loves local culture, fresh food, and a bit of old-world atmosphere. Inside, skilled butchers are hard at work preparing beef, lamb, pork, and chicken, along with just about every other cut you can imagine. The sights, sounds, and aromas are pure Athens — lively, authentic, and full of character. The fish section is equally impressive, with rows of fresh fish, shellfish, squid, and octopus glistening on ice. You’ll see locals choosing ingredients for the day’s meal, restaurant buyers loading boxes of seafood, and shopkeepers calling out their daily specials. Just across the street, there’s an equally wonderful produce and olive market, bursting with colorful fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and local olives. The atmosphere there is just as vibrant and friendly — another spot you simply shouldn’t skip. If you want to experience everyday Athenian life and see where locals really shop, this market is the perfect place. Come hungry, bring your camera, and take your time wandering through — it’s one of those experiences that makes Athens unforgettable.

Looking for an authentic-feeling market in Athens? Look no more. Rows of butchers and fish mongers awaited us on this rainy day. Around the outside of the market, there are also vendors of spices, nuts, dried fruits, and olives (and oil). As you walk in most directions, there are also more modern vendors and stores. There are a variety of restaurants inside as well. One presumes the goods cooked are those sold in the adjacent shops. Someone in our group compared it to the Reading Terminal market in Philadelphia, but "real-er." We enjoyed our time visiting this longtime market.

A bustling municipal market in the Monastiraki district. Here you'll find everyday ingredients from meats, fish, produce, herbs, cookware, and more. It is a great site to visit and see the ingredients that locals use to prepare their meals. We were a bit turned off by one of the herb stores that tried to gouge us as tourists on the price of products.

Seafood restaurant
Sardelaki me Thea is a renowned restaurant chain in Greece, with a particularly special location in Vouliagmeni offering stunning views of the coastline. The restaurant serves up excellent Greek seafood meze, featuring fresh fish and reasonable prices. While it may take some time for table clearing, the overall experience is highly recommended. For a more private dining experience, guests can book a table at the VIP area which offers a slightly different menu and premium wine selection.
The service is extremely fast. All the dishes were very delicious. The place is quite spacious, so you don’t have to wait in line for too long. I recommend going there for sunset—the view is like a postcard. Its only flaw is that it’s a bit noisy, but I would definitely come back.

We visited this restaurant on a weekday around 7 PM. It was sunny and warm outside, and we really wanted to sit outside, but all the tables were full. A very kind gentleman at the door told us we could wait for one to open up—and it was totally worth the wait! The food was absolutely amazing. The salmon tartar is a must-try—it was fresh and full of flavor. For mains, we had the linguini with shrimp and garlic, and fried calamari with fried potatoes. Everything was delicious. We also tried the little pies with mizithra cheese and honey as a starter, and they were incredible too. Service was friendly and welcoming. If I had to point out one thing to improve, it would be how long it took for someone to take our order for food (about 30 minutes). But to be fair, they brought us drinks right away, and sipping wine while watching the sunset made the wait feel just fine. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the vibe!

A Sunset Dinner to Remember at Sardelaki Me Thea 🌅🐟 If you’re in Athens and looking for an unforgettable dining experience by the sea, Sardelaki Me Thea is an absolute must. Located right next to the water, this spot offers what might just be the most breathtaking sunset view of your life – truly magical. The food? Simply perfect. I ordered the fried sea bass fillet, fried calamari, and the signature Sardelaki salad for the main course, along with marinated anchovies and tzatziki as starters. Every dish was full of flavor and prepared with care – fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. Despite the place being quite busy, the staff were friendly and efficient, and the food arrived very quickly – no long wait at all, which was a pleasant surprise. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Athens. Come for the food, stay for the view – and leave with a memory you’ll never forget. 🌊✨

I can confidently say this was the best seafood restaurant I visited in Athens. Every single seafood dish you see in the photos was incredibly delicious. We didn’t have a reservation, but they kindly seated us after a short wait. With a stunning sea view and Greek songs playing in the background, they offered us an unforgettable feast. I also had the chance to try eel on its own for the first time here — not as sushi — and it was surprisingly delicious. The meze dishes were absolutely outstanding as well. If you’re in Athens and craving seafood (especially the octopus and calamari — they were exceptional!), this place is a must-visit. The staff were also very friendly, which is definitely an important detail!

We took the hop on hop off bus through the Greek Rivera to see the beautiful coastline and got off at the last stop before it turns around. Sardelaki me Thea looked like a great spot to grab some dinner. While waiting for a table, the staff rolled out the retractable roof over the patio raining sand down onto a few tables which had just been served their food. They worked quickly to reseat those guests and cleanup. We saw the situation and waited patiently, soon getting seated at one of those table. But then it took a very long time for a waiter to take our order and every interaction with the staff seemed to be deliberately slow. We were obviously not locals and I don't think they really wanted us eating there. The food wasn't anything exceptional either. We had the fried calamari, fried zucchini, and a fresh catch. After asking for our check three times we eventually went to the register and paid there. Overall, it was the least pleasant dining experience we had in Greece.

Today, the restaurant is run by the founder's three daughters and their children, who are passionate about food and hospitality.

Garbi is one of those places that just feels special the moment you sit down. I love how the view makes you feel like you're almost floating above the water—there’s something so calming and luxurious about it. The fish is incredibly fresh (you can actually pick your catch), and every dish is simple but full of flavor. Service is smooth and professional, without being too formal. It’s the kind of spot where time slows down, perfect for a long, easy lunch or a sunset dinner that turns into a lingering evening by the sea.

The atmosphere and view were amazing but that was about it. They charge $10 for a single oyster on the half shell which seems a bit expensive when we got oysters in Athens city center for much cheaper. The service was also very slow, we waited to get a menu for about ten minutes and we were one of only 4 parties in the restaurant. The prices of the dishes were pretty absurd for the amount of food you get also, even in the really touristy areas the prices were less and we got way more food.

We ordered fish ‘youvarlakia’ - typically a rice-dill-meat ball reimagined with fish, interesting but I tend to think the classic sans-fish dish is more to my liking. 2 stars were lost for a) some kind of fish/food residue left below our table, by the previous patrons that was somehow left for me to step on when I seated myself - fried calamari was done abit lacklustre, in taste and texture - picture attached for reference - the main dish came way too long after the appetizers, so long that we had thought it was forgotten - the octopus balls tastes strongly like falafel with too much spice and not much else - and when we requested for the shades to be brought down to cut out the encroaching afternoon sun, the witty repartee by staff that we should put on sunblock didn’t help the rating - 2.5 stars

Had a wonderful dinner the other day with a group of four. We got multiple starters and mains to share them altogether and I have to say everything was amazing! The crayfish pasta was particularly a highlight, as were the crab salad and the taramosalata (sooo foamy yet really creamy! An amazing texture). We also got a millefeuille to share which was accompanied by a spongy portokalopota plus ice cream (orange cake), both phenomenal. Our server was an excellent older man who had clearly a lot of passion for his job and was very sociable and accommodating. With its tables right on the beach coast it is definitely worth the cost. Highly recommended!

Labros Restaurant, a 130-year-old establishment in Vouliagmeni, holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Situated near the picturesque Vouliagmeni Lake, this traditional fish taverna offers stunning views of the aquamarine waters. Known for its delicious mussel rice, seafood pasta, and fresh grilled fish sourced from various parts of Greece, Labros is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Greek dining experience.
The place has an incredible view of the sea. Try to get there for sunset, it’s absolutely stunning. Valet parking is a nice touch and makes your arrival easy. The fish is fresh, and the food is consistently good. Service is friendly and attentive, though the space is large, and staff keep running between the kitchen and tables. Appetizers and mains showed up too close together, which could use some tweaking. It all in all, a great experience. Still, I’ve been coming here for years and will keep coming back.

The restaurant is alright, but in my opinion not much of an experience. Food was decent, we had some starters, salads and dips. Those were all good, but when it comes to the main dishes we had - they were pretty soulless. I shared a lobster platter with one of my guests. Lobster was alright and so was the pasta accompanying the lobster, but unfortunately nothing captivating. Service was alright, not much to comment. They followed serving etiquette rules and all the cutlery was nice and polished - as it should in a place of such rank. Again, nothing negative to say, but I definitely wouldn’t repeat, there are better places with a similar atmosphere and price point.

We had our first experience eating at a Michelin-rated restaurant here in Greece. They offered an 11-course surprise menu with a wine pairing.

We visited yesterday for our anniversary. The good: 1. Most of the courses were excellent. Great culinary experience 2. My husband had informed for his dietary restrictions in time and they had prepared really nice courses for him. 3. The music was nice. The bad: 1. The restaurant felt cold inside and we kept asking to close the door and the windows. They would, for 2 minutes and they’d reopen them again. We felt very uncomfortable with the temperature and even though they assured they’d turn up the heating they didn’t. We had to physically stand up and go shut the door ourselves multiple times. This is unacceptable for Michelin restaurants. Other people were wearing their coats because they were cold too. 2. We arrived at 07.05 and asked for the empty table at the window which we were refused. The justification was we give the table according to booking date. The people who had booked the table came at 21.40. They could have told us you may have it until 21.00 and perhaps that would be ok. Also, nowhere has it been our experience to be punished with the worst table if you book 3 days before. The manager herself had an argument with us. Even though we asked for 2 tables that both were fulfilled after 21.30. Mind you the restaurant was empty when we arrived. 3. We had written in the booking that it was our anniversary - everywhere in the world they surprise us in a way- here absolutely nothing. They didn’t even mention it. Overall even though the food was great the service didn’t justify the Michelin star distinction.

First - the assistant sommelier Zan was fabulous. Knowledgeable, fun personality, really helpful. We enjoyed the Greek wine flight. Other waiters were good. Second - Menu is 90% seafood. Overall the food was 30% exceptional (corn soup, squid pasta, beef & tart), 40% excellent and 30% good but a bit plain (souvlaki, dessert medley w chocolate / sponge cake / tart). Third - seating. There are about 25 tables in the outside courtyard. When we arrived all were empty, except one table had 2 guests. They sat us next to that table. And those two tables were positioned really close together - more than any others in the entire restaurant. * The first hour of service, there were only three tables with guests in the entire restaurant. The second hour two more tables were seated. It wasn't busy at all. Therefore I was left puzzled. Why?? Why?? Why when there's so much available space, sit us next to other people, especially this woman who was so loud and irritating. I asked them to move us before service started and the hostess acted like it was a strange request. That was a very disappointing start to the dinner. Part of fine dining is the overall dining experience. It left me shaking my head with wonder....a rookie mistake you would expect from a sidewalk cafe. So they lose a star for that.

We had our first Michelin-star experience at CTC Urban Gastronomy in Athens, and it was truly memorable. The tasting menu took us on a beautifully curated journey — the flavors were unexpected in the best way, carefully balanced, and executed with precision. Every dish brought something new, and the plating was like art. Service was professional yet warm, striking that perfect balance between luxury and friendliness. The team made us feel welcome and informed without being overly formal. Each wine pairing enhanced the dish without overpowering it. There were two points that slightly took away from the otherwise impeccable evening: 1. The aperitif recommended before the meal felt unnecessary and disconnected from the menu. It came across as an upselling tactic, which slightly broke the magic of an otherwise thoughtful dining experience. 2. We were charged for a bottle of sparkling water we never ordered. It was a small amount (€6), and we didn’t bring it up to avoid awkwardness at the end of the evening, but at this level of dining, such things should not happen. Aside from that, the experience was well worth it. The team clearly works with passion and skill. It’s a place I’d recommend to anyone looking to celebrate something special or just indulge in culinary artistry.

Simply put, this is one of the top 3 fine dining restaurants in Greece. The service was excellent, the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our every need. The atmosphere is simply stunning (you can’t help but imagine how it would feel to live in this house and not just eat in its yard). The indoor area also seems very nice, but it seems it is mostly reserved for cold or rainy days. The corn soup (with lobster) and the langoustine welcome dish were to die for and brilliant presentation and flavour wise.

for a Michelin star restaurant there were a lot of hits and miss. it was overall very cute, but the flavours for the menu were more or less simple. if compared to Soil or Delta, it was neither so much amazing flavours, not techniques. The polenta course looked cool, was super plain. the souvlaki was grrat as concept, but the execution of the “meat” was lacking the meatiness. overall ok, for 185€. worth trying once.

Located on Konstantinoupoleos Street in the meat-loving city of Athens, George's Steak House offers a wide variety of meats for diners to choose from. The restaurant features a nice grill menu with most common meats such as beef, pork, lamb and chicken served as steak, skewer or chops. There is also a starters list with all the typical Greek starters.

Food was very nice, Meat balls were very tasty! You can taste every spice which I like a lot. Horta was crispy deliscious without too much oil. Perfect! Kotopolou fillet was very good indeed, says the one who ordered it and a perfect portion with the fries. Chicken cutlets very well flavored & juicy, collagens and the skin very crispy. One thing to comment on was that the bones were crushed, so be careful of the chicken tender bits and chew softly just in case if you order them. Old fillings may come loose for elders if not careful. I didn't chew down on any bones but the knife did a few times so I needed to sort some bits out first. The service is top, despite being busy. Very nice, the tables filled quickly as we sat there. Atmosphere is "Curb-side" But it doesn't matter when the food & company is great, if you are picky about seating you may try to politely ask for a table nearer the wall...? - Apologies for the owner as my photos are not making the food looking the best or nearly as tasty as it was. I was in good but hungry company so the food was quickly plated away to individual plates I had to be quick about it. Haha. That said, efcharistó gia to oraío fagitó!

Nice grill restaurant with a very good service. The menu choices comprise most types of common meats, veal, beef, pork, lamb and chicken, served as steak, skewer or chops... There is also a nice starters list with all the traditional Greek starters. The wine list is maybe a bit limited.... My favorite are the lamb chops, that you have available as a portion or for the big eaters, by weight!!!

Ordered a veal steak, they brought a pork steak, but charged the price of the former, 7 euro higher. They didn't even look at the food, denied automatically. Crooks.

Restaurant
Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food offers a vibrant dining experience with an open kitchen and cozy seating. The restaurant captures the lively atmosphere of an Asian hawkers market, where diners can witness chefs crafting delicious dishes. The menu features a diverse selection of Thai-inspired plates and mains, providing a tantalizing exploration of the country's cuisine. From savory appetizers like Karibap Gai to fresh Po Pia Sot rolls, each dish showcases the richness of Thai flavors.
The food was exceptional (very tasty, huge portions, good price). The service was alright, but the star of the show was really the food. Not that many place to sit, so it’s very possible there could be a long waiting time.

Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff fast, attentive and very kind! 5/5 all the way. I am pretty sure whatever you try is gonna be very tasty. I even tried plates that are not in my tastes and loved them. Tom Yum was my highlight and ofc the spring rolls!

Tuk Tuk Thai Food in Athens is a little gem if you’re craving authentic Thai flavors. The menu isn’t huge, but every dish feels carefully made, bursting with spice and freshness. The pad thai and curry are standouts, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. The vibe is casual and cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends. It can get busy, so expect a bit of a wait, but the food is worth it. Overall, a great spot for a tasty, no-frills Thai food experience in the heart of the city.

First time trying the place and absolutely loved it ! Parked infront there were lot of people in the street waiting for tables - went today Tuesday 9/9 10 pm place is small and packed and ppl queuing up for tables and take away … waited for 30 mins or so for a table and was worth it ! Love the vibes and decor and open kitchen, everything cooked fresh … Tried the shrimp dumplings so good - red duck curry was pretty tasty - the drunken noodles with pork and that tasted so good love the ginger and spice … if you love spicy food some of the menu items are very spice satisfying ! Waiters were fun quick and pretty friendly ( the older guy with glasses , the short girl n short hair, & the tall Greek guy with tattoos and long hair ) all lovely ! Another spot added to my fav in Athens 🔥👌

All things considered, this is pretty authentic Thai food in Greece. The bar is facing the open kitchen so you can see how they make food. The wait for our Pad See Ew was a bit long. An old English guy sitting next to us kept trying to talk to us in an unpleasant way.

After 8 days of eating pita’s and slovaki my palette was yearning for something new. In Corfu we dipped into an Asian place but the curry was awful. So on my last day in Athens I prayed this place lived up to my curry standards. First the place is cute. The music is fire up in there too. I saw a couple asians cooking and thought ok it has to be authentic. Well I ordered the massaman curry and it was SO GOOD! I felt like I was eating Thai back home in Chicago where Thai restaurants come a dime a dozen. We also ordered the chicken dish and the chicken was so soft and it came with sticky rice (pictured). This place hands down is authentic and that is the key when you are eating Thai. People can mess up Thai curry but this place the curry is exactly as it should be. I would recommend this place over and over and over again. Do not hesitate or think about just b line straight there and you won’t be disappointed, but you might have to wait it’s not very big but to me it’s perfect as it is!

The flavors were spectacular (lovers of that cuisine here).. We ordered: Tom Ka Khai chicken soup - Kio Dot Won Ton fried pork dumplings- Pad Thai chicken- Pad Ped Naman Hoi Stir Fry duck & 2 beers Blame the sun. The soup was out of this world, we ate every little piece of it, the dumplings were tasty with the perfect crispness, pad thai was okay and the duck super flavory and generally all the portions were big enough. The space is far too small for so many people, with even smaller tables, making it difficult to eat peacefully with no stress. We had all those things on the table and we had to eat quickly so that we will have space for the rest coming. Plus having the fear that the waiters passing quickly next to us, will spill our food or drinks. Have in mind that they don't accept reservations, so be prepared for waiting list. Service was kind and food quickly prepared. Overall was a nice experience.

Seafood restaurant
Restaurant
BlueFish Vouliagmeni is a renowned seafood restaurant offering a Greek fusion menu with an emphasis on fresh catches. The restaurant's Head to Tail dinner menu, featuring four courses based on different parts of the fish, is particularly popular. Situated by the sea, it provides stunning views and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for brunch during the summer months.
I had lunch at Bluefish and the experience was truly enjoyable. The location is stunning, right by the sea, with a view that alone makes it worth the visit. The food is excellent: mainly seafood cuisine, from raw appetizers to pasta and grilled fish, everything was of great quality and beautifully presented. The wine list is also interesting and offers good pairing options. Service was attentive and professional, always available without being intrusive. Of course, prices are on the higher side, but absolutely in line with the restaurant’s overall level and its exclusive setting. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy quality seafood in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful location and setting for this restaurant. With seating indoor and outdoors next to the harbour. Staff is very professional and friendly. But for a seafood restaurant the dishes left is a little disappointed. Maybe it was before their busy season and not really busy. The king prawns were too well done and the calamari cold. Fish soup was OK but the seabass was too tough. Only the salads and vegetables were agreeable. Even the octopus lacked in taste. Shame as they do charge premium prices, probably for the view and atmosphere.
Julia L — Google review
Amazing food, beautifully presented in a stunning setting. Unfortunately, the service feels cheap and inconsistent. From waiters throwing leftover food to the fish, to staff eating bread while sitting on the floor or speaking to guests with chewing gum. Water was poured like a 10-year-old would, wine was always spilled, and the audacity of asking “Please put your tip here” was quite something. I would definitely come back for the food and the location, but you must invest in service, etiquette, and manners to elevate your team to the level your food deserves.

Unfortunately not as expected :( My husband and I went for dinner (I’d already reserved 9 days ago and added a note to get a sea view & confirmed my reservation this morning) to find out that we had 2 table options: 1- On the balcony with a view where we see the fish, but the last table on the balcony with no lights, no fish view, 2-3 insects on the plate & fork 2- 2nd row view I asked him if any table leaves if we can move, and he said that he already had 2 reservations, yet only 1 couple came later and there were more than 4 tables empty. We waited for 15 minutes for someone to come & take our order. The food took some time (almost 30 minutes) but honestly, it was delicious. We ordered a bottle of water when we arrived, and the waiter decided to open a new one and keep on pouring us water (which was charged - basically we paid for 2 bottles) They serve 3 types of French bread with a dip and olives (which surprisingly were also charged)! Overall, I think it’s a bit overpriced and overrated. I don’t really recommend this place and don’t know why this happened with us even though the food was delicious but the whole situation and service ruined the mood.

That said, I still recommend visiting, it’s a nicely tucked-away spot with very good food.

Seirines Restaurant is a great option for groups looking to sample a variety of dishes without breaking the bank. The menu offers Greek salad, fries, sardines in oil and vinegar, pasta with seafood, and an impressive beetroot salad. While options for vegetarians are limited, the owner's son can improvise delicious vegetarian dishes upon request. The friendly service and welcoming atmosphere make it a top choice for visitors to the greater Athens area.
The best seafood restaurant we’ve been to in Greece. You must try some of the pasta, fava and octopus and a variety of prawn (shrimp) dishes. The service is excellent, a must pay this place a visit if you’re in Athens or heading out from Rafina.

I have no idea how long I've been coming to this restaurant but it has been close to four decades and it has never ever disappointed me I have taken friend of mine from almost every country in the world America United Kingdom Italy France Cayman Islands Brazil Argentina Puerto Rico Germany Malta China and a plethora of other countries that I'm currently not able to remember because I just can't. So one thing that I remember very very well is the impeccable service I have received upon every single visit another thing I can remember is how delicious everything I tasted was and still is like I said I've been coming to this place for a really long time there are dishes that they no longer serve that I wish they did but they have replaced them with maybe even better ones. This is truly a spectacular restaurant with delicious food of impeccable quality without its needing to pretend to be something which it is not it is just pure taste flavor and ecstasy. I guess I can consider myself lucky to be living around the corner from this uniquely wonderful place. For all you vegans out there this place most definitely can cater after your likes I said at least one third of the menu is vegan I say this because I have many vegan friends I am not vegan but they are and if they tell me it is one of the best meals I've ever had I guess you too will enjoy it. 11/27/22 update everything is still amazing, and the fish soup is divine!!!!

This used to be the go-to tavern for fresh fish, it’s really disappointing how basic and even stale were the dishes I got.

After travelling all over greece they just missed the mark by a lot. Asked for olive oil for the bread and got charged for it but never got it. Had to google translate the the reciept to realise this. The pork was over cooked and asked for veges instead of chips and got some Zucchini. Maybe we got spoilt elsewhere but our last night in greece and was far from what we will remember greek cuisine being. No pasta options just spaghetti or chips so not very greek.

The restaurant is very simple and the decor is very simple. There was no ambiance on Saturday when we visited. The food is fine but quite basic and nothing really stands out.

I would not really recommend this restaurant as there are much better options elsewhere.

I recently visited this Italian restaurant in Athens and overall the experience was a bit disappointing. The service was friendly and attentive — the staff were polite and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. I ordered the carbonara, which turned out to be quite underwhelming. The pasta was heavily overcooked and we only tasted the cheese in the sauce. They didn't charge us for this dish after we complained, so that's a plus.

We started with a tonata which was a bit more salty that had to.be and missed a bit the taste as the fried capers on top was imposed the taste. 2nd plate was the spicy Amatriciana which my opinion was a bit heavy on my stomach but taste was good. 3rd plate was the Mezzi pistachio which wasn't also in my taste but my girlfriend dreamed about. Taste was more basil than pistachio which I didn’t find so nice i would definitely wanted more "pistachio flavor and maybe diferent cheese to give a sparkle to the plate. Prices are very good for the effort and the menu. Would try again soon for the rest plates. Both cocktails we try were good.

We have been to most of the Italian restaurants in Athens and this is by far the worst. With the exception of the buser, the staff appeared irritated when we expected service. The kitchen refused any changes to the menu (nothing complicated- just no parsley on the pasta) and when we were served the wrong dishes, no apology was forthcoming. Perhaps we’d have been more forgiving if the food was good but it was not. The papperadelle ragout was inedible (though our waitress did not notice or care about the practically untouched plate). The pizza fared better by being mediocre. The waitress then asked for a tip. Here’s a tip: do better.

Absolutely fantastic, I was happy to bring my family to Sushimou after I've enjoyed this place three years ago. We were at the last sitting in 2024 and returned for the first sitting in 2025. As it's Omakase, menu was different, but my favorite (Oshi sushi with a cherry on top) were there both times! Love the service, our toddler got a gift from the chef. Both inside and outside sitting are great. The price is unbeatable, food is fantastic, service is caring, location is amazing, everything is perfect.

Superb sushi - beautifully fresh, made with artistry and care. The set menu may seem restrictive, but it is all so well-chosen and made, you won’t feel that way when you’re eating. We particularly enjoyed the Greco-Japanese fusion in such dishes as red mullet sushi, bracketed with the head and tail of the fish, deep fried and delightfully crispy, and served with Cretan tsigoudia. Everyone working there was welcoming and kind, from the chef himself to everyone on staff, they seemed to take a justified pride in the food and be happy to see you enjoy it. A wonderful meal. As one of us said “if Japan and Greece ever go to war,all we have to do is bring the leaders to eat here, and we’ll have peace before the first plate is eaten.”

I’ve traveled extensively and eaten sushi around the world, but Sushi Mu in Athens served me the best sushi of my life. The highlights were the mackerel, red mullet, and scallop – each piece was a masterclass in freshness and balance. The rice was outstanding: fluffy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor, elevating every bite into something extraordinary. What truly sets Sushi Mu apart is not only the food but also the people. The chef and the entire team are warm, friendly, and genuinely make you feel comfortable, which adds to the whole experience. At €55, it’s remarkable value for money. Considering that many takeaways charge €30 for mediocre mayonnaise-covered rolls, Sushi Mu is on another level entirely. One important note: you’ll need to book a table in advance – and it’s absolutely worth it. Sushi Mu isn’t just a sushi spot; it’s where you discover what sushi is really meant to be. Highly recommended.

Food is really good, it was all delicious but i like most was the vibe, seems that you aren’t in Athens Area anymore, so cozy the vibe plus the owner was so welcoming, next time i will try their signature cocktails i saw from the other table because i ordered Aperol spritz but it wasn’t that good for my taste, anyway this Thai restaurant is one of the best in Athens area.

We visited this restaurant at around 21:00 weekday.m during June. Atmosphere was very nice and cozy. We had 2-3 dishes and 2 beers . All the dishes were amazing and very very good in terms of quantity (we had to take half of them home). Service was also excellent and owner very kind and friendly! We will definitely visit again so to taste rest of menu. Parking was very easy since there is a plenty of space around.

Nice restaurant with great food and perfect staff. Everything was great, from the pleasant and helpful staff to the delicious food. The music and the atmoshpere was exceptional. There were many options in the menu, from the starters to the main dishes, cocktails, etc. The prices are reasonable, considering the portions which are quite big! Definetely I will go there again to taste the rest of the plates in the menu.

A wonderful Thai restaurant with tasty food and really amazing cocktails. The aesthetics of the space are spot on, complementing the menu nicely, while the music is relaxing and allows for conversation over dinner. The staff is also very accommodating and polite. As far as food goes, everything was delicious, presented nicely on different serving plates and portion sizes were very much worth the money, as we were completely full by the end of our meal. The cocktails were a particularly nice touch, as the menu features a lot of creative house cocktail options. We tried a couple, both of which exceeded expectations. If you are in the mood for authentic Thai food in a colorful environment, I highly recommend you visit Andaman.

I am almost sorry to write this, because this place is so beautiful and the drinks were lovely. But the food has nothing to do with Thailand (and I’ve never even been to Thailand, just good restaurants! 😄). We had chicken cashew which I guess was only cooked with soy sauce, no bold flavors, chicken was not freshly made (there was an unpleasant aftertaste of a reheated chicken). Green curry was nice in a “I could do this at home with a store-bought paste” kind of way, pad thai was at least tamarind-packed but overcooked, and the starters would be okay if this was a fast food restaurant. Papaya didn’t taste like papaya, if someone told me it’s white radish I would believe it 😄 Honestly I just stopped taking pictures after starters 😄 We paid 100 EUR / 3 people. That’s only okay for the restaurant they think they are, but way too much for underseasoned, inauthentic food. It's so disappointing because the place sure does have a nice ambiance. It deserves someone who cares about food, and not who relies on the instaworthiness to be enough (which it looks like it is, the place was packed). All in all, the food is worse than average and thus overpriced. Come here for drinks and pictures if you have to.

Always a delicious experience awaits us! A big variety of Thai plates, full of spices and flavors. You can start with a cocktail and then proceed with the appetizers while you wait for the main dish.

I’ve been to Birdman twice 6 months apart and each one was a true culinary experience. A friend had originally recommended this spot and after our first time, we could not wait to get back to Athens and visit this restaurant once again. Their version of fusion foods are exceptionally prepared and truly delicious. This time we invited our friends and we could not have enough of anything we tasted. We will surely be coming here the next time we visit Athens.

It was a complete disappointment. They cut the Wagyu steak three times and then grilled it again. They even sliced ​​the last one completely and re-cooked it. When I told them I couldn't accept this, that the meat had lost all its juices, they tried to convince me for nearly 10 minutes. Finally, they made a new one, with all their sullenness. If you don't even know how to cook meat, at least be polite to the customer and admit you couldn't do it. Once cut, you can't re-cook it! Other than that, the food I ordered was average. The place is small and uncomfortable. The people wearing black aprons are so sullen that they drain your energy. Only the waiters and bartenders are friendly.

One of the very best spots in Athens. The atmosphere, the people, the music, and the service are outstanding. The food is out of this world: yakitori, nigiri, katsu sando, tataki, tartar, and gyoza are perfection. Cocktails and sake are excellent, and the vibe is always great with top DJs. I come to Athens frequently, and this is the place I never miss. A true must-visit in the city. As a wine lover, my only wish would be for a larger wine list, since everything else is so thoughtfully curated. Special mention to Vasya, who is simply amazing—her warm welcome, professionalism, and ability to organize everything flawlessly make every visit exceptional. Eftechia, with her passion for wine, and Chris at the bar, with his energy and talent, also deserve recognition. And truly, the whole team makes Birdman such an organic, welcoming place where service and hospitality shine every time.

We visited Birdman on a Sunday evening and were greeted by very polite and helpful staff who made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Although the restaurant is quite small, it has a pleasant and relaxed vibe that adds to the overall dining experience. The food was nicely cooked and enjoyable, with good attention to flavour and presentation. However, in comparison with other Asian restaurants in the area, the menu and dishes felt a little less distinctive. The cocktail, while well-made, was noticeably small in portion for its price, which was a little disappointing. Overall, Birdman offers a friendly atmosphere and well-prepared food, making it a nice spot for a casual meal, though it could benefit from a touch more originality—and perhaps more generous cocktails—to stand out among its peers.

Herve Restaurant in Athens offers a modern cuisine experience with a focus on attention to detail. The chef's innovative use of ingredients results in flavorful dishes influenced by Greek, French, and Indian cuisine. The attentive staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the restaurant is known for its excellent menu featuring fish and meat dishes inspired by various culinary traditions. The vibrant ambiance includes a large bar around the kitchen where guests can observe the chefs at work.

We recently dined at Herve restaurant with high expectations. While there were definitely some enjoyable moments — a couple of dishes stood out with great balance and creativity — overall, the meal didn’t quite deliver the level of excitement we were hoping for. The service was professional, the atmosphere refined, and the presentation elegant, as you’d expect from a place with such a reputation. But we found our self waiting for that “wow” moment — the kind of dish that surprises you, lingers in your memory, and reminds you why you love fine dining. Unfortunately, it never really came (and we did upgrade the dishes to A5 and Caviar). It was a good meal, just not a great one. For a Michelin restaurant, I expected a bit more magic.

Hervé delivers an exciting dining experience with unexpected textures and bold flavor combinations that keep you engaged throughout the meal. The presentation of each dish is stunning, making it clear that a lot of thought and craftsmanship go into the plating. Service is also top-notch—attentive, knowledgeable, and warm, adding to the overall experience. That said, while the food itself is impressive, I found myself wanting more of a cohesive theme or narrative behind the dishes. There’s undeniable creativity at play, but without a clear sense of the chef’s story or perspective, the meal felt more like a collection of great ideas rather than a fully realized concept. Some added context about the inspiration behind the menu would elevate the experience even further.

Do not miss an opportunity to dine at Herve. This was one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. I booked a reservation for a group of 9 through the booking system on their website. There is a deposit but you can cancel up to a certain number of days ahead. The staff reached out to confirm our booking and note any dietary restrictions. They were exceptionally prompt and easy to work with. The night of we arrived to find a cozy restaurant nestled in a neighborhood in Athens. They were fluent in English which was helpful for communication. The restaurant appears to only have one seating nightly so our almost three hour long meal was paced without rush. The first few courses came out quickly but slowed down as the evening progressed. The sommelier was helpful for those who did not choose the pairing. Those of us who did were treated to interesting wines that we may never have tried ourselves. The food is outstanding. There are some interesting takes on traditional Greek dishes and ingredients along with some international favorites. There is so much care and attention in every single aspect of each course. It’s incredible to experience a group that is at the top of their game. I wish the best to Herve and their future. This experience has set a new standard of fine dining for me and my friends. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ

I'm not the biggest fan of tasting menus. And I really don't like bar seats that are stool high. But i've got to tell you that this tasting menu experience was perfection. Not only was the food amazing, the different staff presented different dishes. Which I thought was a great way to include the team. And the bar stools for the chef's table were the most comfortable I've sat in my entire life. If the owners come in someday and they're missing. I might have snuck in and taken them. Each dish was so uniquely flavorful and perfectly made. The service was also on point. They changed our utensils at every dish. They were unobtrusive and yet attentive. The sommelier was a fabulous addition. My friend got the wine pairing, and I just had a glass of white burgundy. The white burgundy was also excellent.

We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful restaurant. Our table was in the Essence Room, which, to our surprise, had an open roof. We loved the unique touch of a cat peeking down at us from the edge—such a charming moment! Food The dishes were incredibly well thought out. One dish in particular—quail egg with spinach, dill, and lumpfish roe—was easily in my top five dishes of all time. It’s no surprise they’ve kept it on the menu for years. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The final dessert was a lovely little touch 🎆🫠. What Could Be Better We were a bit disappointed that some dishes had optional add-ons and that an extra course was available for purchase. For us, this experience should be about the chef’s complete vision, without making guests wonder: “Should I add these extras? Am I missing out on something?” The wine pairing itself was perfect in terms of selection and pairing, but I would have preferred a standard pour—at least to the widest part of the glass—even if it required an extra charge. The sommelier’s pours felt very minimal. As for coffee, we expected a bit more attention to detail—most fine dining spots usually excel in that area, but it felt underwhelming here. Overall Despite these small points, it was a fantastic experience with thoughtfully crafted dishes, a charming atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Nestled at the base of Mt. Parnitha, Pappas Tavern is a charming family-run establishment that offers breathtaking mountain views and a cozy ambiance, especially during winter with its inviting fireplace. In the summer months, guests can unwind in the tranquil garden shaded by tall plane trees. The menu features an array of grilled meats, particularly succulent ribs and chops served generously by the kilo on large platters.
It is one of the oldest taverns in the area that, no matter how many years pass, remains of the same quality. It has tables in the cool outdoor area under the trees and in a large interior room. The staff are very kind. If you like high quality meats, you must visit the tavern. Everything we tried was amazing, but we especially stood out the ""thrakomezes"" burgers from the appetizers and the veal tenderloins. We liked that at the end they offered us an individual dessert. Cost €30/person with wine.

Soil restaurant is a recent addition to Athens' dining scene, located in the Pagrati area. The menu, crafted by Michelin-Star awarded Chef Tasos Mantis, reflects the restaurant's commitment to pure ingredients and love for nature. Embracing a farm-to-table approach, the restaurant sources its ingredients from the chef's private garden in Alepohori village. Guests can expect a multi-course gourmet tasting menu that showcases dishes made from the finest raw materials.
Whenever we travel, my husband and I peruse the Michelin Guide to see what each city has to offer. After reviewing Athens’ list and doing some research, I could tell Soil was special. I booked the Chef’s Table Experience and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. From the time we rang the bell at the front door, we were treated like family and well cared for. We had 17 courses and did not do the wine pairing but we were able to choose our own wine within 200 euro. They gave us the offer of tasting the pairing options on top of our wine. Another guest at the table (6 seats total) had a beer pairing which was an awesome touch. Typically, with a tasting menu, there are 1 or more dishes that do not quite work or suit me. We did not have one bad dish. Each had a special touch and story and many of the ingredients came from Soil’s garden. Chef is very passionate about his craft. We went to another Michelin restaurant the previous night and they were different aesthetics and concepts but Soil was by far the winner. If you enjoy a culinary experience, please do not miss this one.

We had an unforgettable dinner at Soil. Our group of six was treated to a masterfully designed 12-courses, where every dish felt like a work of art. The level of care and precision in each plate was matched only by the friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming staff, which made the entire experience feel effortless and inviting. From the moment we sat down until the final bite, everything flowed so well. Soil isn’t just a normal dinner, it’s an experience. We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in Athens.

Soil truly embodies its name—outstanding experience definitely worthy of its Michelin status! I did the tasting menu and what stood out to me were the little details and personal touch—the chef meeting you on your way in and out, seeing fresh ingredients from the chef’s family farm, the little booklet of herbs you got to take home. The presentation and flavors were a 10/10. Even a humble tomato was elevated to perfection with watermelon-chili sorbet and a fresh sprig of basil you got to rub in your palms to soak up the experience. The shrimp with marigold and citrus was another standout. And both the pear and strawberry desserts were delicious. I loved the cute patio. We were visited by some Persian cats and even a kitten!

I've been to a bunch of different Michelin star restaurants and this is easily one of the best. The service, atmosphere and food were all excellent. I also learned that in Greece, it seems to be common to have a juice pairing and this is great for those that don't drink alcohol but don't want to miss out on a pairing. If you have 1 restaurant choice to make on your trip to Athens, I highly suggest you choose this one. Small note: during evenings, I would avoid sitting outside. There were a ton of mosquitoes when we went and we each had over a dozen bites after only 30 minutes. Luckily after that, they had a table inside for us as it would have been a lot worse if we continued to stay outside. It's a shame too as the outside setup is very beautiful and you can even spot a couple of cats while you eat.

This experience left a lot to be desired and it was saddening. From the moment when I booked a table it gave me expectations. I was celebrating my birthday, mentioned it in the reservation. When we get there, the table was alright but nothing was said, even after the dinner, there was no small candle with the dessert, nothing. Than, the drinks came, and everything was fine at that point and we chose the 95€ menu, ok, interesting. The bread comes and the amuse bouche, delicious, that i can't put any faults. But than comes the 1st course, and the 2nd and all the others, in a rush. The restaurant had 5 more tables, that were empty, completely empty, there was no need to rush us like they did. We were seeing the rush, so we decided to eat slower, and they came to ask me if I was "done with my food" while there was still half of the food there. Come on guys... Also, the portions were crazy small. Which i understand, and in terms of taste they were delicious, but it came out so fast, and the main dish was as small as the starter, dare I say even smaller (?). We spent 220€ on a dinner, we only ordered one cocktail each and one water, bc there was not even time for us to order more, and I didn't feel like the servers wanted to sell more. I was disappointed, on my birthday to say the least. And, this is being reviewed by someone that works in the fine dining industry, so it's not just bitterness, it's something that really was just "meh". I hope this can be something that you can read, and hopefully understand. I'll try coming back in the future to give this place another shot. Edit: also, the terrace is on a loud street, and if you are inside, on a hot summer and all the doors are open, you can listen to the gorgeous sounds of the traffic (scooters and cars) its amazing.

My feeling going into these Michelin star restaurants in Athen is that the cook and waitress think so highly of themselves, and they have an attitude .

Excellent restaurant. Beautiful design. Wonderful staff. Disappointing meal, as a vegetarian: few options, and they wouldn’t allow alterations to any pizzas so couldn’t add cheese to the marinara pizza. The pasta dishes had options to add ingredients such as shrimp with a price given, so seems silly. I settled for the basic Margherita pizza. My friend’s pasta was tepid - but apparently delicious. €3 for chilli oil seems to be a thing in Athens. Highly recommended - unless you’re vegetarian.

Well , we had high expectations, but the food lacked a red thread. Undersalted and overpriced. They said it was courses to share. But presentation when sharing got messy and some of the flavourful (small amount) of sauces sat on the main plate and were not able to be transferred to the plates.

The establishment has maintained good quality over time, with freshly prepared food that is not expensive compared to other local restaurants. Visitors have praised the extremely fresh fish and high-quality ingredients used in their meals, particularly recommending the shrimp giouvetsi. The restaurant offers fabulous food at a good price, served by friendly waiters and an older Greek woman who cooks the food.
Friendly and efficient service. Wholesome and classic dishes prepared and cooked perfectly. The fresh fish ( I had Sygritha) is excellent quality and value. I had it with the boiled vegetables which also was perfect. The traditional lemon oil dressing was well made and there was plenty of fresh lemon provided by the staff (there was no need to ask for more). Don’t let the slightly dated decor put you off. Thoroughly enjoyed my time and will definitely return.

wonderful taste great fish and sea food must try while in Athens , i had been here before and they keep the same good quality always , the soup was amazing but I wouldn't recommend because you'll get full and wouldn't have space to try the other flavors. The calamari was awesome but the best was the saganaki shrimps...

Sofi’s is a popular spot for breakfast with generous portions of delicious food, although it lacks vegan options. The staff is accommodating and friendly, willing to make adjustments for dietary needs. The ambiance offers good WiFi and pleasant background music. Food enthusiasts appreciate the high-quality ingredients used in their dishes, especially the avocado toast, salads, and sandwiches. It's also a great place to relax with good coffee and cake while people-watching in a comfortable setting.
I had a yogurt bowl with fruit and granola as well as a cup of coffee. The presentation was beautiful and the portion size was very generous. They also use these really cute local pottery for bowls and cups and it just added to the charm. Nice seating area inside and outside, plenty of room.

Food is really nice. Sourghdoug bread is delicious and their sandwiches are extremely tasty (thanks to kitchen staff). But holy… Waitresses are just so unpolite, and just cannot be less bothered about anything in their work. Tiny small request for anything, they give you the looks, tell you they cannot do, and especially they cannot do anything on Sundays as its busy, and just stop bugging them. Like where did you even find those girls working??? Never had such terrible attitude from any Greek person, and I have lived in Greece for 3 years.

Horrid experience!! Everything about this place is just bad. The interior design is good and inviting but service is shocking with bad attitude and prejudice from the waiters and manager. Broken, chipped cups. Racial profiling. Constant smirks and general disinterest.

This café is absolutely wonderful! The food is fresh, natural, healthy – and most importantly, incredibly delicious. Service is fast, attentive, and very friendly. It’s a popular spot, so finding a table during peak hours can sometimes be a challenge, but you can always grab your order to go and enjoy it in the park just across the street. The matcha latte is excellent. The Orange Blender is refreshing with just a subtle hint of ginger, while the Green Blender is more on the tangy side (a bit too much lime for my taste, but great if you like it sour). The Truffle Chicken Sandwich is a dream come true! We’ve tried almost every brunch dish here – and each one is better than the last. Highly recommended! 🌟

Folia is an Afghan restaurant with a focus on creating a welcoming environment. The owner, Reza Gkolami, is an Afghan refugee who has faced challenges in Greece but remains committed to the country. Despite having no prior experience in the food industry, he pursued his dream of independence by opening Folia. The restaurant offers authentic Afghani Halal food with generous portions and complex flavors.
The food at Folia is absolutely amazing! I'm a foodie and I am at a loss for words. Great menu, awesome location in the artistic, bohemian part of Athens. I ate here several times and will definitely return if ever in the area. Hail to the Chef.

Discover Afghan flavors in Exarchia at Folia Restaurant Folia, nestled in the heart of Exarchia, offers a pleasant taste of Afghan cuisine with a laid-back, coffee shop-like atmosphere. The food impressed us, capturing authentic flavors while being reasonably priced. The service was decent, though nothing extraordinary. The ambiance reflects the alternative, bohemian vibes of the area, but don’t expect anything too upscale. If you’re in Exarchia and craving something unique, Folia is worth a visit for its solid Afghan dishes.

Great selection of traditional Afghan dishes, good service and food wasn’t hot enough but I believe that was because we were eating outside on a very cold day in November, Ashak dish was very nicely done, Montou was lacking slightly on the flavour side and Kabuli Palau was excellent. I do think the restaurant could do with a selection of more drinks e.g. fresh fruit juice to live up to the general standards in the Greek culture. Did not have the Afghan chai, many Afghans restaurants serves a green/cardamom tea usually after meal which this restaurant did not have to offer.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant in Exarchia (Athens) serving food from Afghanistan. 😊 I really liked the outdoor seating area of the restaurant ... and some of the dishes I tasted were delicious. 😋 However, for somebody having enjoyed outstanding Afghanee home cooking (for a few years) I have to admit the rice dish with the lamb was disappointing! 🤔 The service is prompt and courteous and the prices very reasonable .... & .... it's a nice place to enjoy a meal with friends after a long walkabout in the Exarchia neighbourhood .... that is always a good idea! 👍😍👍😊👍

Feedέλ Urban Gastronomy is a hidden gem located in the heart of Athens, just off Ermou Street. The restaurant offers an eclectic bistro menu and clever cocktails in a cool and atmospheric space with outdoor seating. Chef Leonidas Koutsopoulos puts a tasty twist on modern Greek food, offering playful dishes and whimsical cocktails that pair perfectly with the food. The tranquil atmosphere, complete with outdoor tables overlooking a lush square, provides the perfect escape from the bustling city streets.
Heard a lot about this place, but honestly, you have to try it to understand—A M A Z I N G! Service was on point, and the cocktails were exceptional, perfectly paired with the menu. We started with the avocado tzatziki (good) and a salad (amazing). For mains, the lemon chicken and slow-cooked beef were both outstanding. Highly recommend!

Incredible food, friendly service in a vibrant atmosphere. This small restaurant is without question the best we have visited in Athens. The Red Sea bream is incredible and the Yphes salad takes Greek salads to the next level. To finish, crème brûlée with everything - a taste of orange, touches of dark chocolate mousse and home made vanilla ice cream that has something extra in it…. Superb! This restaurant is a must visit.

This place has been my absolute favorite meal of our trip in Athens. It’s in an area with a lot less foot traffic so you feel like you have the whole area to yourself and can get away from it all. The food is absolutely amazing. The salad, bread and mushrooms were my amazing but the sauces and the chicken were mind blowing. Make sure you hit them up!
Stephen C — Google review
This place is overpriced for what it is. The food looks pretty and great on Instagram, but not much more. If you're an influencer, go right ahead. If you're a foodie, best avoid. My kale salad arrived drowning in vinegar. The Pirozhki tartare was completely unseasoned. So basically raw beef, a pickle, and egg yolk. The Moussaka dumpling was the best of a bad bunch, however once again while conceptually and visually good, it was severely lacking in the flavour department. The dumpling skins tasted doughy and raw - have they gone to gyoza school, I wonder? It didn't even taste steamed. And the tomato paste used in the sauce tasted like it was still raw and straight out of the can. If the prices were at 5-7 Euro per dish, I wouldn't complain this much, but it was €54.50, including a €12 glass of wine and €4 small bottle of sparkling water! So because of the price and what it was pretending to be (and it was not), it's a solid 2 stars from me.

Last dinner in Athens on Friday night with family aged 11 and 12. Sadly my kids like high end restaurants so this was their favourite. We enjoyed great service, the time to explain the dishes and experience. Good options for vegetarian / pescatarian. Cocktails were delicious. My only complaint was I received Prosecco in a wine glass. Other than that superb.

This was my second visit - I usually go to the sister restaurant Feedέλ Assador, as it's close to me. I know what to expect from these restaurants. Good atmosphere, great service, inspired food and cocktails. On my last visit there was a dish that was sub-par, which was unusual, this time though they got a 7 out of 7 for excellence. You really can't go wrong with any dish, from the soup and salad, to the piroski tartare and the beef cheeks. It's always delicious modern fusion takes on mostly greek dishes. The cocktails are as interesting - find the one that looks more to your style and give it a try. In general, it is probably better to go with a bigger company than 2 so you can try more dishes (the recommendation is 2/person to share, which works quite well - well, plus desert!).

Karamanlidika is a captivating culinary destination nestled in the vibrant heart of Athens, where the flavors of Greece come alive. This charming establishment beautifully blends the essence of a traditional mezedopoleio and delicatessen, specializing in artisanal cheeses and cured meats that pay homage to the rich heritage of Greeks from Turkey. Guests can indulge in an array of delightful dishes, from savory charcuterie boards to mouthwatering meze and hearty mains that celebrate regional ingredients.
On the way back to our hotel, we saw a long line of locals waiting outside this restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an amazing choice! The restaurant has an open kitchen and a bar that looks like a traditional butcher shop, creating a great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Right after sitting down, we were offered complimentary ham and cheese — even though it was free, the quality was impressive. We ordered sausages, meatballs, and smoked fish appetizers. The portions were generous, and every dish was incredibly delicious. We ended up finishing everything and still felt like we wanted more. After the meal, the restaurant also served complimentary yogurt with shredded carrots for dessert, which was refreshing and surprisingly tasty. When leaving, the friendly owner personally asked about our dining experience, which made us feel truly welcomed. The only downside was that the waitress who took our order didn’t smile at all and looked rather unfriendly — probably because it was too busy. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and hospitality were excellent. Definitely worth a visit!

It was pretty busy when we arrived, and we had to wait in line for a bit. A staff member eventually welcomed us and invited us in, but then disappeared into the crowd. Since no one else guided us, we assumed we could pick our own table and sat down. Just a few seconds later, another staff member approached us with a pretty rude tone, asking if the manager had told us to sit. We tried to explain, but he didn’t listen and told us to leave, which felt quite disrespectful. While we were still trying to clarify, the woman who originally welcomed us came back and asked us to follow her. She then seated us in the semi-outdoor area, and thankfully, things improved from there. The rest of the staff were really friendly and helpful. From taking our order to serving the food, they were polite and attentive. One even asked how we liked the food, which we really appreciated. The food itself was delicious, we’d give it a solid 9 out of 10. And as a nice surprise, they even gave us a complimentary dessert at the end! Overall, a rocky start, but it ended on a good note✨

I visited twice - once for lunch, another time for dinner - and enjoyed both experiences. The food was well seasoned and had great flavours, and the staff were friendly. I appreciated that a server gave me a heads up that the eel dish was served cold - it was a wonderful dish, but I was glad to know what to expect. I tried the meatballs, potato salad with mustard dressing, smoked eel from Anta, and aubergines & zucchini in Cappadocian sauce. All were very good. I didn't need a reservation for a solo late lunch, but I recommend a reservation for dinner.

If one ever needed a reminder that greek, turkish and perhaps other eastern mediterranean cuisines are related, a visit at Karamanlidika is that reminder. As a Turk myself, I found heaps of dishes that I know from home, and the next table was a central asian couple that was equally delighted. The place is in the cash&carry district of Athens, so it also caters for other food places, but also serves food. The queue outside tells you how famous it is. But beware: it is perhaps not the place for your average greeek food. The place is a shop for cold cuts, sausages, cheeses and condiments for all these, so the food is neatly centred around these. And delicious they are! Authentic mediterranenan Mezze served by friendly and competent staff. If you have been to Turkey to eat Mezze, you will not be disappointed here. I will certainly be back next time! Cok teshekkür & Sas efcharistó! 5*

The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance with excellent service and generous portions of traditional Greek cuisine. Additionally, guests can savor the delightful homemade wine sourced from the village of Liondi.
It is a great spot for authentic Greek food with a cozy vibe. The tzatziki was super fresh, the calamari perfectly crispy, and the saganaki rich and cheesy. The grilled fish was tender and full of flavor, but the prawns in mushroom cream sauce stole the show, so good. We finished with galaktoboureko with ice cream, both amazing.

Mushrooms too were very tasty. The gyros plate is huge! It was to our chagrin that we didn't have enough room to put all that away, but immense value for money. Staff are very friendly and amenable.

It’s around the acropolis museum, great value taking into account the location, service food quality and even portion that you get. Pork souvlaki and sea bass are both so good! They have catch of the day 68€ for 2people but we didn’t order that this time. Homemade cheesecake made their chef and limoncello on the house after meal🥺 The cheesecake is so good as well, it’s more gelatinous, similar to flan. Service is great, Vasilis especially. Felt like he is either owner/manager. Overall really satisfied!!

The Greco's Project is a popular chain with three locations in Athens, including Syntagma, Monastiraki, and Ermou. It offers a modern and upscale twist on traditional gyros served in well-lit contemporary spaces with stylish tableware. The menu features classic options like chicken gyros in warm pita with lettuce, tomato, and the restaurant's special sauce. Visitors praise the friendly service and quick food delivery.
Would I eat hear again knowing what I know? Yes. Would I recommend to a friend? Yes. The restaurant has a great Greek menu. We had the classic pork gyros - amazing. We also had tzatziki and pita bread - also yummy. Prices were reasonable and the service was great. If you found my review helpful please let me know and give me a ❤️

The Greco’s Project is a go-to spot for some delicious Greek food. The pita bread is perfectly grilled, and both the chicken gyros and souvlaki are seasoned just right. The zucchini sticks were pretty tasty too. The food is amazing, and the portions are huge, which is super satisfying. The flavors are out of this world, all at a really reasonable price. The complimentary orange cake dessert? So good! The Greek coffee with liqueur was a bit too strong for my taste, though. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Definitely recommend it if you’re craving a great meal!

It was 9PM and we’d just come from the airport and all we could think about was food. Thank goodness they serve fast! Their crunchy feta cheese and Picanha steak were to die for. I still dream about that feta cheese. It was so good. And the ambience provided a calm and relaxing atmosphere after all that conundrum at the airport. It was just a perfect place to cap the night off.

Excellent restaurant! I loved their feta cheese pastry with honey, I could eat a dozen of them😋😋 The rest of the dishes, (salad and pasta) were all delicious, fresh, and they even added a small dessert on the house, which was very nice of them. Over all, 3 starters and 3 mains, 100euro(including tip) for 3 people- solid, no complaints, Excellent service. Highly recommend

Greco's Project: A Taste of Perfection in Ancient Athens If you find yourself amidst the history and hustle of Athens, Greece, there is one culinary pilgrimage you simply must make: to Greco's Project Quality Food. This isn't just a meal; it's an exceptional dining experience, vouched for by locals—my own journey began with a recommendation from a nearby wine shop owner who knew I was searching for the city's finest kofta. From the moment I stepped inside this establishment in the heart of the ancient city, the promise of quality was palpable. My mission was the kofta, and it was glorious: perfectly spiced, juicy, and utterly irresistible. But what truly sets Greco's apart is the remarkable cleanliness and integrity of their product. As the wine shop owner promised, the food is not only delicious but feels incredibly healthy and clean—a true rarity that allows you to refuel and indulge without compromise. The visual presentation alone, worthy of photos and videos, attests to the care poured into every plate.The ambiance perfectly captures the Athenian spirit. Seated by the stunning glass enclosure, I experienced the magical illusion of being on the sidewalk patio, enjoying the vibrant energy of the street while wrapped in the comfort of the indoors.Exceptional Service Elevates the Experience A restaurant is only as good as its people, and the team at Greco's is nothing short of amazing. Special recognition must go to the attentive server, Kamilla, and the excellent Vaggelis, whose service was flawless. The entire experience was bookended by the warmth of hostesses Aggelos and Leonela, whose welcoming presence makes every guest feel like a VIP. Greco's Project Quality Food is a beautiful blend of ancient city charm and modern, clean, healthy dining. If you are in Athens, this is a must-try location for delicious, high-quality Greek cuisine!

Efcharis restaurant, located in Monastiraki, is a charming rustic eatery that serves up traditional Mediterranean dishes and homemade wines. The menu features a wide range of options including Greek cuisine, fish, pasta, vegetarian and vegan dishes. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining in the lovely courtyard while being serenaded by live music every night from 18:00 to 00:00. Despite its popularity, the restaurant prides itself on fast service.
This restaurant was recommended by the hotel staff and it was located in a very hectic area. It is so popular that please make reservation. Not through online but make sure either phone or personal visit. The inside is better than outside. Service was very good. Please note that they have very very big portions therefore my recommendation is to go with main dish only and if you want to try more just order one saganaki. You won’t be able to finish all of it. Price are fair. Recommended.

I had a great overall experience at this cozy spot in Greece. I started with a Greek coffee, which was really good—rich, strong, and m reminded me of Egyptian or Turkish coffee. For starters, I had the fried cheese bites. Most of them were delicious, crispy on the outside with gooey cheese inside, but one was still partially frozen in the center and a few had a slightly bitter, undercooked doughy taste. For my main, I went with the pork gyro platter, which came with pita and potatoes. The pork was flavorful but a bit dry and not hot enough. I found myself wanting a bit more pita to go with it. The white dipping sauce on the side was creamy and flavorful, a perfect match for the meat, definitely the highlight of the plate. The service was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the meal, which really added to the experience. At the end, they brought out a free dessert—a soft, fragrant orange cake with cinnamon that was absolutely amazing and easily my favorite part of the meal. That said, the restaurant does strike me as being geared more toward tourists, likely due to its location and a menu that is partly ready-made or pre-frozen. While that doesn’t take away from the overall enjoyment, it’s something to keep in mind. I’m giving it four stars because while the food and service were very enjoyable, there were a couple of small execution issues. Still, I’d happily return for the coffee and cake.

I loved this place, even on a hot day the garden was cool and covered in shade from the vines growing overhead. Fairy lights and stone walls added to a great atmosphere. And the food... it was very tasty and fresh. Squid was exquisite: fresh, soft and only dusted in flour as opposed to heavy battered oily and rubbery thing you find in some places. And you get the whole plate of just squid and lemon, no silly plate fillers.

I had some lunch here today and loved the Musakhan and chicken salad. The musakhan was delicious with little taste of cinnamon and I just loved it! The service was fast and attentive.

Started out with the halloumi, which was great. Also got the zucchini, which was soggy. Would not recommend. For our main course we got the chicken souvlaki which was nice and juicy with a good flavor. We also got Moussaka, which I would not recommend. The dessert was complimentary, and it was good. It tasted like some kind of orange breaded dessert. I liked it. Overall not a bad place to grab some food, if you’re in the area.

The food was really tasty and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. We ordered a lot of meat and a Greek salad — the portions were huge! The meat platter was definitely enough for four people, and we even took some home. The staff was friendly, but at the beginning it took quite a while before we were seated, which was a bit confusing. At the end, they brought us a complimentary dessert, which was delicious, such a nice gesture! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Efcharis Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and friendly service, but the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. The dishes looked good but lacked strong flavor, and overall the taste was a bit underwhelming compared to other spots nearby. It’s also on the pricey side for what you get, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. Not a bad place to sit and enjoy the area, but the food could definitely be more flavorful and better value for the price.

The best food we’ve had on our trip all over mainland Greece!! Every single dish we had was unbelievably delicious, I was hoping to try a vegetarian moussaka while in Greece as we don’t eat meat so we decided to try the vegan moussaka here and it did not disappoint! The sea bass dish was creative and extremely tasty, we appreciated that they had vegetarian Dolmades with an amazing mint sauce, and the dip trio was also delicious!

This place is incredible! The service is very genuine and welcoming, but the food is exceptional. We walked in off of the street noticing a small sign that said “gluten free” thinking that there would be some gluten free options available- but we did not expect to have everything on the menu gluten free! Everything was exceptional, and my husband who doesn’t have any dietary restrictions confirmed that the moussaka, spinach pie and baklava tasted just as delicious as beautifully home made regular versions! Will be recommending this place to all of my friends.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Athens, Maiandros Restaurant is a delightful open-air café that captures the essence of traditional Mediterranean dining. With its inviting atmosphere and charming hosts, this eatery stands out amidst the bustling Monastiraki area filled with typical cafes. Guests are treated to generous portions of classic Greek comfort food, including tender pork gyros that leave taste buds dancing. The lively ambiance is enhanced by live folk guitar performances, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
First time: My wife, son (12y) and I had a great dinner, with a friendly and very witty head waiter or owner (?). The food was prepared nicely, quick and really tasteful. The big surprise was a sausage dish prepared in wine and pepper, it was so good! Can't wait to come again and be surprised by the head waiter. Second time eating there, four days later: Mikael, I hope I got the spelling right, choose the dishes for me. Of course the sausage in wine had to be included. He surprised me with gorgeous fetta baked in the oven. It was soooo lovely. And the second surprise dish was a great chicken in a creamy sauce dish. All of it was verry, verry tasty. My son took the grilled sausage again and declared it his favorite dish of the whole holiday. My sausage dish topped my own top 5. My wife had a very tender, tasty and moist lamb in paper. Can't remember the name, but it was very good as well. A splendid way to end our Athens adventure. Thank you very much Mikael for two unforgettable diner experiences. We will remember this with a warm hart (and salivating mouths). Fortunately I did not forget to take pictures this time!

Lovely restaurant, but I can’t agree with the many 5 star reviews. We had a great evening, but compared to the many other restaurants we’ve been, Maiandros didn’t stand out. The Moussaka was alright, good but nothing out of the ordinary. The chefs special with chicken was a big disappointment: just some pieces of chicken in a creamy sauce with some potato chips. It really felt like a low effort dish, so I was surprised it’s called a chef special. Also very pricy for what you get. The stifado was lovely! Al be it with a bit too many onions and almost no meat. But definitely tasty! We had a lovely evening and the food was good - But I wouldn’t be able to rate it 5 stars.

We had a very good dining experience at this restaurant. We came in at 10 PM and sat on the first floor, so there were no view or performances, which was not a problem because the quality of food is a priority. The waiters were very nice and provided great recommendations. To start the meal, they gave us some free breadsticks with this amazing olive spread, and free chocolate mousse for desert at the end. We really enjoyed the beef stifado as the meat was tender and the baby onions were cooked to perfection!

This is near the famous Monasteraki area of Athens so there is no shortage of people, tourists, pigeons, and cats. Considering so many options for good Greek food in Athens, The Birthplace of Bureaucracy, this restaurant was packed with people when many others were not. I noticed this and said as we passed by, “ this place must be good.” They catered to my 92 year old father as well with no issues to the slow movement of such an aged body, so I was thankful for that. Our lunch/dinner consisted of saganaki, fried halloumi, zucchini fritters, village salad, bread with olive paste, tender beef (kokkinisto)w potatoes, sardines, grape leaves. Everything was fresh and tasty and served w lemon. Vasili, the host, was so gracious, even asked my name (prob bc I spoke Greek w an accent) and accommodated my request to be away from the commotion, if possible. All in all, a pleasant way to satisfy huge appetites from walking all over the Acropolis, Plaka, and Monasteraki area. Highly recommend.

We tried Plain Rice, Dal Tarka, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Fried rice, Kadhai Chicken, and Keema Naan. The tastes of the foods were good and the spice levels of gravies were moderate but a little more oily. The Keema Naan was mediocre. It has a Bar along with the restaurant.

Long Waits, Cold Naan, Missed the Mark We ate at Indian Haveli in Athens and had a very mixed experience. Service was extremely slow—my mom ordered a dish that we were told would take 30 minutes, which was fine, but in the end her food arrived in about 15–20 minutes, while the rest of our meals didn’t come out for 40 minutes. By the time her plate was nearly finished, we were still waiting on our naan bread. And when it finally arrived, it wasn’t good and was already cool. The chicken pakora was okay, though not as flavorful as versions I’ve had at other Indian restaurants. The mixed appetizer came with three sauces, but one had crushed mango seed in it—which I bit into, and it hurt my teeth. Definitely something the kitchen should be more careful with. I also wish they’d ask how spicy you want your food. The dishes came out on the spicier side, and while I can handle heat, it was more than I would’ve preferred. Overall, the food had some good elements, but with the slow service, uneven quality, and details like cold naan, I can only give this place 3 stars.

Thes "Greek Creative Cuisine" just got featured in the Trip Advisor 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards, so we had to check it out when we were in Athens. We had dinner there and really liked most of the dishes, though some were hit or miss. The Greek salad was super tasty, but the seafood pasta didn’t impress us—just lacked flavor. The menu has a modern Greek vibe with some creative twists. The staff were really nice. They took time to explain each dish and made sure to check on us throughout the meal. They were also great at suggesting the perfect wine to go with our food. But I should mention, there was an hour wait. Make sure to get a reservation if you’re going.

Thes “Greek Creative Cuisine” – A Must-Visit Gem in Athens’ Psyri Neighborhood During a recent trip to Athens, I planned to revisit my favorite traditional Greek restaurant, but a daunting line of people made that impossible with my limited time. A quick search led me to Thes “Greek Creative Cuisine” in the vibrant Psyrri neighborhood, sporting an impressive 4.9 rating. This place quickly became my new favorite restaurant in Athens. Psyrri is a lively hotspot, brimming with restaurants, twinkling lights, and a festive vibe that’s perfect for soaking in the city’s energy. When we arrived at Thes, they were fully booked—a reminder to always make a reservation in advance! Luckily, a no-show reservation opened up, and after a brief five-minute wait, we were seated. Pro tip: request an outdoor table when booking to fully enjoy the sights and sounds of Psyri’s bustling streets. The food was nothing short of spectacular. While traditional Greek dishes are on the menu, their “creative cuisine” approach adds clever twists that elevate every bite to something extraordinary. Each dish was a perfect blend of familiar and innovative, making the meal unforgettable. I’m already excited to return and try more of their creative offerings. The staff was warm and attentive, and the manager’s hospitality made us feel truly welcome. I’m baffled as to why Thes hasn’t clinched a perfect 5.0 rating. For an exceptional dining experience in Athens, book a table at Thes (don’t forget to reserve!) and request outdoor seating to savor both the incredible food and Psyrri’s vibrant atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!

Diodos is a traditional restaurant located near the entrance to the ancient agora in Athens. It's known for serving pikileas assortments, perfect for pairing with ouzo, featuring fish, meat, or both. The restaurant stands out for its old-style cafe tables and chairs. Situated in a bustling district of Athens, Diodos is a popular hangout spot. Visitors can enjoy their meals under the sun at this lovely eatery.
Omg not only were the plates plentiful but the price was very reasonable and then he started bringing house dessert and hot wine that was amazingly good. Definitely stop here and the view was great also. On the back of the acropolis and you walk thru so many ruins to get there.

The gent at front of house (as it were) sold this to us as the best view in Athens. Given that there ls nowhere to eat on top of the Acropolis, he may well be right. My moussaka was tasty; and I'm reliably informed that the gyros (as my daughter put it, 'it comes deconstructed' - but I suspect this is probably normal!) and the Greek salad were also very good. Enjoyable watching the world go by too, with the backdrop of Parthenon and Agora.

Good food, great views of the Erecthion. Staff were very friendly and treated me very well. It was a great intro to my first time in Greece especially Athens. Lots of choices and food. They had misters which kept it a little on the cooler and more pleasant. (Super hot in Athens in August). I walked by a couple days later they actually remembered me.

Absolutely outstanding experience! My husband and I visited 3 times during our time in Athens during our honeymoon to Greece in September 2024. Our waiter, George, embodies Greek hospitality and kindness. He provided the best service to us! We actually rearranged our last hotel stay for our last night in Athens to go back and visit one last time for dinner. The view is wonderful, the food is fresh, filling, delicious and very reasonably priced; the complimentary mulled wine (I cannot remember what it was called) at the end of the meal was perfection! Its been 6 months so we came home and we still talk about Diodos regularly! The zucchini fritters, stuffed peppers and tomatoes and the chicken souvlaki are highly recommended!

OROSCOPO restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its uncomplicated Greek and European dishes served in a modern, air-conditioned setting as well as on a comfortable terrace. The restaurant is known for its pleasant atmosphere and reasonable prices, making it popular among locals and tourists alike. With an elegant indoor dining area and a cool outdoor seating option, OROSCOPO provides the perfect setting for enjoying traditional Greek cuisine with a modern twist.
Started with a great leek potato soup. For the appetizer we enjoyed what I feel was hands down best grilled octopus in Greece! I had the pork schnitzel, delicious huge portion than can easily feed two or even three. My wife had the hamburger which was very flavorful. Super friendly staff. And the complimentary ice cream hit the spot. My only regret is we found this restaurant the last night of our vacation, hope we will be back again.

Came here for our first night on our Greek holiday and was impressed with the food, but mostly the service! We were served complimentary soup to start, which was absolutely delicious. Our meals were great, the atmosphere was lovely and when we finished we were given complimentary dessert too. What a wonderful start to our holiday. Thank you to the team at Oroscopo!

They did not charge enough!!! Everything… EVERYTHING was wonderful. The bread with tapenade and beet spread, the soup, the salad… we had two of the specials: braised short ribs with pear risotto and braised chicken/tomato with a pasta. If we didn’t have enough they brought us ice creams and sorbet. Every bite we swore was the best until we tried another. The service was incredible. I felt so at home, and I told one of our many servers that the food tasted like I had a loving Greek Grandma who made high-end cuisine. We hope to go back before our visit ends!!!

What an incredible experience. From the candle lit outdoor seating adjacent a park, to the friendly wait staff, and the food, this place was top notch. The wait staff made frequent visits to all the tables with a friendly smile and complimentary tastings. I was welcomed with a soup (on the house), followed by the most delicious zucchini fritters (ate them all before i could take a picture), moussaka for the main course, followed by cookies and cream homemade ice creams and a sorbet shot. This place was everything i was looking for and highly recommended!

An amazing experience from start to finish! The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were perfectly balanced—just the right amount of alcohol. Even though there was a temporary electrical issue, it didn’t affect our experience at all. The team handled everything with such calm and professionalism, regularly checking in to make sure we were comfortable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was genuinely kind and welcoming. On top of everything, we were treated to several complimentary dishes and drinks, which made the evening feel even more special. It’s easy to see why this place has so many glowing reviews. May God bless this business and its owner—I truly wish them continued success and prosperity!

Just amended after 3rd visit in3 days !!! The Service here really sets Oroscopo apart from its competition. Which, in a row of three restaurants and a bar and being next door to hotel that has a good restaurant also with rave reviews makes the difference. The guys are all wearing HUGO BOSS polo shirts looking very smart everybody has a smile everybody has time. Nothing is too much the Pre starter bread and potato and leek soup on our first visit was a lovely touch as was the continuous supply of water which when it’s 35° you absolutely need the raspberry Coulis and the free ice cream at the end of the meal all made the experience just a little bit more special Greek salad was incredibly fresh and nicely seasoned, but the absolute humdinger is the beef short ribs. Go to this restaurant just to have this dish and I promise you will not be disappointed. It was my son‘s choice. I was gonna go for the lamb but when he said I think Greek salad and beef short ribs that I was sold and it was exceptional. I can only thank the team And the Chef for making it a really special night as always we all ended up talking football with Greek teams and Premier League banter made us feel incredibly at home and relaxed. This really is a super place to spend the evening drinking cold beer and chatting honestly we are so lucky it’s a stones throw from our hotel and we will be going back tonight. It was that good. OK, today is Sunday and we have visited every evening for the last three evenings on Friday evening, My son had the fillet steak black Angus medium rare. I had the moussaka we had a selection of starters see photographs below. Food is exceptionally good hence why we’ve been back now three times but again, I cannot emphasize how important the staff are in this absolutely Wonderful find of a restaurant.. And last night being Saturday, we had spent the day walking around the island of Poros so we weren’t in the mood to walk very far from the hotel and yet again the guys at Oroscopo outdid themselves with some awesome truffle, ravioli, and chicken skewer I simply cannot recommend this totally exceptional gem enough get the boys talking about football and you’ll be amongst friends immediately especially if you like Liverpool Man city or Man utd 😆 We still have five days left of our trip and we will definitely be back again thank you guys for making it such an exceptional part of our evening .

Atitamos is a popular country-style restaurant in central Athens, known for its traditional dishes and welcoming atmosphere. The menu features affordable seafood options and generous pours of house wine. The restaurant is frequented by locals, offering an authentic experience. Additionally, there are hidden taverns called koutoukia in the area, such as Diporto located in Varvakio Market. Visitors can expect homemade-tasting food and warm hospitality from the owners Christos and Sofia.
We were able to walk in without reservation for an earlier dinner. Solid Greek food. Not the best I’ve ever had but nothing disappointed. A bit of a walk from our hotel through some run down buildings. The staff were mostly friendly and I would recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. However I don’t think it’s necessary to go out of your way.

Great restaurant, lovely atmosphere, friendly and kind staff. Food is delicious and authentic. Only down side , you can’t book but waiting time is not much so if you end up there with a long queue is worth waiting, trust me. My favourite dishes have been the Feta Antitamos , Moussaka, grilled Lamb chops. Absolutely delicious, accompanied by red house wine jar. Fairly priced compare to other places and just next to the restaurant lots of bars to continue your night out. At the end of the meal they take a little sweet at the table , baklava . Been there 4-5 times in row for dinner during my holidays in Athens and I can confirm was best restaurant we been to .

A good restaurant, but very busy in the evenings. The English menu isn't entirely clear which Greek dishes correspond to which. You have to wait quite a while to order. The portions are very large, but I was surprised by the classic kebab, which had no vegetables at all, except for one slice of tomato.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Athens, All That Jatz is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in local culinary delights without breaking the bank. This funky eatery offers an array of popular Greek dishes, including the beloved saganaki—a crispy fried cheese appetizer that melts beautifully inside. Diners rave about the generous portions of expertly seasoned meats and roasted vegetables, all served alongside fresh pita and refreshing cold beer.
Portions are so big that you can’t even finish one meal. 9,5€ gyros are huge and enough for two persons. Traditional greek salad was delicious as well. Staff is very friendly and does their best to make customers feel welcomed. Thanks for excellent service, guys!

Awesome vegan food! The vegan moussaka was so realistically "meaty" and "creamy" I got a little freaked out. The Greek salad (without feta) was big and fresh, and the giant beans were amazing. Service here is amazing and they are incredibly accommodating to vegans, so be sure to inform them that you're vegan! They will help you with the menu and you'll get a nice dessert of fresh fruit instead of the standard yogurt. I highly recommend this place!

You know the meal where everyone at the table says, unprompted, "that was great!" This is that kind of place. Large portions of extremely well cooked and seasoned meats, roasted vegetables, fresh pita, and cold beer. This place will please your taste buds and be friendly to your wallet. Additionally, service was attentive and friendly even with the language obstacles. Seriously, you will eat well, fresh, pleasurably, and affordably. Side note, if you do not at least try the pork you missed something.

What makes this restaurant go ahead of others is their Friendly Staff and they exceeded my expectations by making a little change to their menu, which I had tried in many other restaurants and none of them were able to do. They do really know what the term "Customers are First" means. I will definitely return!

Traditional Greek menu with pastitisio! The milk pie is also mouth-wateringly delicious, don't share it with anybody else just get one for yourself. They can order their own. 😇 Have nice bathrooms, and fairly decent WiFi along with a good upload. BTW they will try to give you bottled water, stick with tap.

Greek restaurant
Mani Mani, located near the Acropolis Museum, is a popular dining spot that focuses on dishes and products from the region of Mani in the Peloponnese. The restaurant prides itself on using locally cultivated ingredients to create authentic flavors. Housed in a neoclassical building in Koukaki, it has been a favorite among travelers for years and is known for its regional specialties such as travihtes and green salad with sour apple.
Very good restaurant with kind, attentive staff and beautifully prepared dishes. The flavors were excellent across the board — the mushroom fricassee was rich and earthy, the Greek salad was fresh and unique, and the couscous main dish was truly delightful. If I may offer one small suggestion: the portion sizes, especially for the starters, could easily be scaled down a bit. Even with a good appetite (and having fasted 11 hours before the meal!), I found the quantities a little too much, which can take away from fully appreciating the progression of the meal. The setting is relaxed and unpretentious — not fancy, but welcoming. Overall, no regrets at all. A very good experience, tasty and thoughtful cuisine. A few small adjustments on portioning would make it even better.

First off, I will have to be strict as the price range of this restaurant demands for excellence. There were very few people when we visited while all other places in the area were full. We didn’t mind that as we had a great service and relaxed away from the crowds. We ordered a few dishes and even though some were exceptional (others were just ok), they all lacked the wow factor of a 30-40€ dish. The inside area is not to my taste, the pink and purple hues mostly.

The menu was interesting but the execution of the dishes quite disappointing especially for the price mark. Not a single dish we tried (spinach salad, squid, risotto, cacio e pepe, fragokota, poached pear dessert) was particularly good. The bread was really bad, at least one day old. The service was friendly and welcoming but without attention to details such as refilling our water. The outdoors seating space was great.

I was limited to 5 stars, but would have liked to give it a higher rating if google would have allowed. This has been my favourite restaurant in athens. If you go be sure to get the 6 course meal. The hostess, owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. If i were to only get a single dish i recommend the beef cheeks. Very tender.
