![Amphibian, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 21 0924 5401
Address: Leof. Andrea Siggrou 107, Athina
At Amphibian, six floors above the city, things literally rise to the occasion. Set on the rooftop of Onassis Stegi, one of Athens’ most important cultural institutions, the restaurant plays, like its name, between two worlds – comfort and fine dining – without ever choosing sides. The kitchen, led by Tasos Mantis, carries the DNA of Soil, his acclaimed restaurant in Pangrati, into a more relaxed, accessible format. You taste it in the details, like foraged elements, layered sauces, bold textures. And then, ramen, schnitzel or fried shrimp enter the table. The wine list, curated by sommelier...

![Makris, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 21 6004 7777

At Makris Athens, right in the heart of Monastiraki, you’re dining quite literally on fragments of antiquity – an almost surreal setting.

The service feels genuinely polished yet relaxed, while the sommelier and bar teams are both knowledgeable and engaging without being overbearing.

![Topa, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 21 086 608 89
Address: Fokionos Negri 43, Athina
Basque tapería or Cretan kafeneio? Somehow, both. The kind of spot that wants to be the neighbourhood café but ends up being something just more layered. Behind it are the people of the famed Oinoscent wine bar, Danis Agapitos, Aris Sklavenitis, and chef Giannis Tsikoudakis, who, after years of working together in Syntagma, set out to create something more relaxed and local. In Kypseli, just steps from the Municipal Market, the concept draws from Tsikoudakis’ travels across Spain, and especially the Basque country. Pintxos – those small, drink-friendly bites – share the table with pimientos d...

![Manari, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 21 5215 3804
Address: Pl. Agion Theodoron 3, Athina
At Manari Taverna, the idea of the Greek taverna is taken seriously, but also carefully reworked. At its core is the grill, with lamb chops, offal and prime beef cuts all cooked over charcoal. Around them, the supporting dishes, such as fried potatoes, seasonal greens, feta with olive oil, are just as essential and just as satisfying. Manari stands out because of its balance. The food feels honest and rooted, stripped of the usual taverna clichés, while the setting is elevated. It’s a place that manages to be both deeply familiar and distinctly curated. The wine list, strongly anchored in th...

![Osteria Mamma, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 693 660 7794
Address: Salaminos 64, Athina
At Osteria Mamma, set inside a beautifully preserved house in Keramikos, the atmosphere feels cinematic. With its ochre walls, scattered objects, small statues, empty bottles kept as souvenirs, plants and flowers, there’s a sense of a lived-in space, somewhere between an Italian courtyard and a personal gallery. The architecture opens gently outwards, reinforcing that feeling of an informal, sunlit cortile. The kitchen, led by chef Eleni Saranti, leans into Italian-inspired comfort food. Fresh pasta is at the centre – the likes of bucatini cacio e pepe with pecorino and parmesan sit alongside...

![Aleria, a restaurant in Athens, Greece.]()
Phone: +30 21 0522 2633
Address: Megalou Alexandrou 57, Athina
A wonderful and classy restaurant, located in the Metaxourgio area, that definitely deserves a Michelin star. The owner Nikiforos Kechadiadakis, together with famous Greek chef Gikas Xenakis, pairs Greek ingredients and flavours with local and international wines in a fabulous way. This beautiful old mansion is really worth a visit, both for the high-end gastronomic experience and the place itself. A plus is that you can bring your own bottle for a reasonable corkage fee.

Phone: 21 0380 8412
Address: Solomou 54, Athina
Pharaoh is a project located in the centre of Athens, that became the “talk of the town” from day one. Chef Manolis Papoutsakis and his team create a menu that changes almost every day based on the availability of fresh seasonal ingredients. It is also worth mentioning that the kitchen does not use standard electric ovens, nor do they use natural gas; instead they decided to show off the power of wood, with the wood ovens. Here you can also find a Japanese jazz bar equipped with a high-quality stereo on which some of the city’s leading DJs play an eclectic mix of music on vinyl. The wine lis...
