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 […]
A lovely place to relax: Kitchen Bar (17. March 2019)
The perfect spot to enjoy the last rays of sun before flying off into the cold again. The ‘Kitchen Bar’ is located by the sea and if you are lucky enough to score a table (sofas are available but rare), you get to enjoy the sun to its fullest extent making it a pleasurable experience. […]
The perfect place for relaxing with a shisha: Oberon Cafe Bar (16. March 2019)
I was walking to my hotel when I passed by a particular smell I will always remember – shisha! At first I wanted to smoke outside on a sofa but there wasn’t any space. So I decided to go inside. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any ‘double apple shisha’ so I went for “peach shisha” (EUR […]
When B is suddenly A class: Restaurant B (16. March 2019)
While the name makes you think that the restaurant is maybe not ‘A class’ but ‘B level’, it actually turned out to be very much ‘A class’ – or at least A-. I had booked a table for 8:30pm and showed up a bit early but it wasn’t an issue at all and they were […]
