A rooftop bar with a lovely view onto the Acropolis: Olympias, The Rooftop Bar (17. November 2024)
Although we weren’t too lucky with the weather this weekend, the sun decided to come out about 2 hours before we left. So, why not get a little of that sun and look for a nice rooftop bar – and so we found the Olympias, which is lovely as the view onto the Acropolis is […]
Quite a lovely and truly local Greek restaurant experience: Restaurant Atitamos (17. November 2024)
Given we had originally planned to eat something in the Piraeus area (near the harbour), we didn’t have anything booked for lunch, so, it was a bit of a searching exercise, and frankly, it wasn’t easy to find something, which would look (online) great. And despite having walked to like four different restaurants, we didn’t […]
An absolutely amazing dining experience inspired by locally farmed ingredients: Restaurant Soil (16. November 2024)
The Soil is one of the restaurants I’ll definitely keep a memory of even years later. Their concept is quite lovely as they basically base most of their foods on what they grow in their own garden (located about 1 km outside of Athens), and they celebrate that quite a bit. We decided to go […]
A lovely bar with great nibbles and cocktails: The Clumsies (16. November 2024)
The Clumsies was No. 3 on the World’s 50 Best Bars back in 2020, and I can still see why. On top of that, I also figured that the bar was saved on a list, which a friend had shared with me, so, I was rather curious when I realised that, and I was not […]
An Instagram style place, but actually offering a great foodie experience: Restaurant Akra (15. November 2024)
The Akra was also part of a recommendation list and given it only had an Instagram page, I was quite reluctant to go here, but hey, why not. And frankly, I was wrong. The Akra really provides you with a great experience, but let’s go step by step. We had booked a regular table, but […]
Over-recommended moussakas and a bit too touristic: Restaurant Athinaikon (15. November 2024)
The Athinaikon was recommended to me for its Moussakas, so, I figured it’s probably good to start with something local and traditional, and well, I’m not entirely sure what to say about the place. I would probably never have walked into it if I was passing by, but given it was a recommendation, I figured, […]
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 […]
