Restaurants with Acropolis Views
Treat Yourself At Least Once
After the last newsletter suggesting Where to Eat in Athens, I came across this news story about the re-opening of the GB Roof Garden Restaurant, on the 8th floor of the Grande Bretagne Hotel. Last time I’d recommended the Tudor Hall Restaurant, which is on the 7th floor of the King George Hotel, right next door to the Grande Bretagne.
It set us to wondering which other restaurants have Acropolis views, and this is what we came up with.
Hytra Restaurant & Bar: This Michelin-starred restaurant boasts one of the most extraordinary fine dining experiences in Athens. The luxurious rooftop restaurant occupies the top floor of the Onassis Stegi cultural center, enjoying a magnificent view of the Acropolis. Their menu offers degustation menus and a la carte options that redefine Greek gastronomy. You can find out more on their website.
The Zillers Roof Garden: Located at the foot of the Acropolis, this charming boutique hotel has a restaurant with a lovely terrace hidden away on the rooftop. The lush roof garden offers an unbeatable view of the Acropolis, especially magical at night when the Parthenon is lit up. Chef Pavlos Kiriakis, who has experience working for Pierre Gagnaire, offers a menu that has been rewarded with a Michelin star. More details on their website.
Strofi Athenian Restaurant: This restaurant offers classic Greek fare in a simple, airy space with a roof terrace for amazing Acropolis views. Their menu features traditional dishes using fresh, local ingredients. This place is definitely on our hit list for any future visit to Athens. Check out their website.
Thissio View: Thissio View is a popular restaurant with a casual atmosphere and a large terrace offering panoramic views of the Acropolis. They offer a wide variety of Greek and Mediterranean dishes, making it a great option for any time of the day, or night. Take a look at their website.
Keeping on the subject of food, we just added a new page to the website: Where to Eat on Symi.
And to end with a bit of fun, here’s a YouTube clip we found this week showing a traditional dance on the island of Andros. Enjoy!
