Makris Athens

Located at the foot of the Parthenon, this restaurant comes as something of a surprise for various reasons. Firstly, for the stunning view from its terrace; secondly, for its setting, in a historic building that was once the country’s first inn, with a decor that ensures a unique experience enabling guests to view its historic vestiges through the glass floor in the dining room; and, lastly, its cuisine, the main attraction, which comes courtesy of chef Patron Petros Dimas and which showcases the country’s gastronomic heritage through dishes that are creative and impeccable technique. The majority of the ingredients used are sourced from the restaurant’s own farm or from local producers and provide the basis for the à la carte options and the three tasting menus: Genesis, Utopia and the vegetarian Physis Vegan. Guests can also explore the impressive wine list, home to a selection of more than 300 labels, including Greek and international options, plus cocktail and juice pairings.
