Athens' Michelin-Starred & Fine Dining Restaurants

Athens now carries one of the densest concentrations of Michelin stars in southern Europe, its kitchens applying French technique and quiet innovation to Greek and Mediterranean ingredients across settings that range from a Kolonaki dining room to a rooftop framing the Parthenon.

Delta Restaurant

Athens' only two-Michelin-star restaurant, Delta is run by chefs Giorgos Papazacharias and Thanos Feskos, whose tasting menu has made it the clearest reference point for how far Greek fine dining has advanced in a single decade.

Spondi

Long considered the benchmark of Athens fine dining, Spondi holds a Michelin star under executive chef Arnaud Bignon, whose classically trained French cooking set the standard that much of the city's current restaurant scene grew up measuring itself against.

Tudor Hall

On the rooftop of the King George hotel, detailed in our hotels guide, chef Nikos Livadias's Michelin-starred Tudor Hall pairs its tasting menu with a dining room that looks directly across Syntagma Square to the floodlit Acropolis — a view rivalled by few Michelin-starred restaurants anywhere.

Pelagos

Inside the Four Seasons Astir Palace on its private Vouliagmeni peninsula, also covered in our hotels guide, chef Luca Piscazzi's Michelin-starred Pelagos brings serious seafood-driven cooking to the Athens Riviera, a natural stop for guests already staying at the resort.

The Wider Field

Athens' one-star roster extends well beyond these names — Makris Athens, Soil, Hytra, Botrini's, CTC Urban Gastronomy, and The Zillers Rooftop Gastronomy among them — a depth of coverage that puts Athens ahead of most Mediterranean capitals its size.

Booking a Table

Delta and Spondi both require reservations several weeks ahead for weekend dinners. Tudor Hall's window tables at sunset are the single hardest booking in the city given the Acropolis view; several of the hotels in our luxury hotels guide can assist through their concierge desks.
