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.

Review summary

Makris Athens scores 4.6/5, known for creative cuisine and Acropolis views. Food quality is highly praised, featuring childhood memory themes and sustainability, with the 10-course tasting and Greek wine pairings standing out. However, some found dishes like duck mild or pork oily. Service is generally attentive, with sommelier Elizabetta and waiter Demetri commended, yet complaints exist regarding long waits after payment, unavailable items, and aggressive upselling. The ambiance offers a romantic rooftop setting, though background noise and performances detract for some. Value is debated; while Michelin-starred, some feel the experience does not justify the cost, citing issues with pacing and portion perception.
