Not sure this place deserves two Michelin stars: Restaurant Spondi (22. June 2022)
The Spondi is located in an area I have never been to so far – and I must say, it seemed quite vivid and lovely, so, it was no wonder you would find a 2 Michelin star restaurant there. In any case, the place is not entirely Greek in terms of dishes, but definitely serves […]
Another delicious Bib Gourmand find: Restaurant Aneton (22. June 2022)
Another great Bib Gourmand find – in the midst of a hard day’s work when the weather is unbearable (in terms of heat), it’s best to step out and get some delicious food in. I went for the “multicoloured cherry tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, olives, peppers, feta, basil” (EUR 11.00) which were great because the tomatoes […]
A very well-deserved Michelin star with a few tasty surprises: Restaurant CTC Urban Gastronomy (21. June 2022)
The CTC Urban Gastronomy has recently been awarded 1 Michelin star and is definitely worth visiting. The place is lovely in terms of location – it is in a rather shabby area which is hip but not really ‘beautiful’ as it holds. However, if you enter the place, you are immediately caught up in a […]
A great Bib Gourmand find for lunch: Restaurant Ergon House (21. June 2022)
I love the ‘Guide Michelin’ app, since it does not only guide you to the starred restaurants, but also to the ‘Bib Gourmand’ recommendations, where you can find great bites in a lovely setting for very fair prices. For lunch, I wanted to have a few small bites like the “Pita bread” (EUR 2.50) which […]
A great rooftop bar with slow service: NYX Japanese Fusion Gastrobar @ Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection (20. June 2022)
As I had previously mentioned, there are many places from which you can see the Acropolis – be it by day or by night. The NYX Japanese Fusion Gastrobar on top of the Academias Hotel is one of them. They serve a nice range of interesting drinks like the “Down To Earth (42 below vodka […]
A nice wine bar but leaving with a feeling of being cheated: Restaurant By the Glass (20. June 2022)
It wasn’t super easy to find a wine bar in Athens – but eventually, there was a place which ‘specializes’ on wine and actually has a decent offering when it comes to food too. The idea really is to share a few dishes with the group – and it started that evening with a special […]
The perfect place to enjoy a drink while watching the Akropolis: GB Roof Garden Bar @ Hotel Grande Bretagne (20. June 2022)
Whenever I’m in Athens, I try to pay the GB Roof Garden Bar a visit. In 2017, I was here for the first time, and ever since I kind of fell in love with the place. It’s perfect to sit down, enjoy a glass of “Karamelogkos wine” (EUR 14.00) and a “small bottle of sparkling […]
Lovely Italian ice cream in Greece: Ninnolo Gelateria (2. April 2018)
The Ninnolo Gelateria is a lovely little place which serves good double espresso and has a decent ice cream selection. I went for three flavors (EUR 4.80): Mella Verde (which was somewhat more pistachio than apple), Rose (which did have a rose flavor) and Mastika (which had a Mastika flavor). While the colors of the […]
