Restaurants with
Acropolis Views
Tudor Hall
One of the best meals we’ve ever had in Athens was at the Tudor Hall Restaurant, on the 7th floor of the King George Hotel on Syntagma Square and with fantastic Acropolis views. Fantastic food, too, from chef Asterios Koustoudis, who creates a menu of contemporary Greek cuisine, featuring seasonal ingredients with a modern twist.
GB Roof Garden Restaurant
Right next door to the Tudor Hall, and one floor higher, is the Grande Bretagne’s newly-refurbished GB Roof Garden Restaurant. Asterios Koustoudis is also the man in charge of this kitchen, and his menu includes Mediterranean dishes like zucchini risotto with basil and tsalafouti cheese from the Pindus Mountains.

The luxurious rooftop restaurant occupies the top floor of the Onassis Stegi cultural center, enjoying a magnificent view of the Acropolis. Their menu offers degustation menus and a la carte options that redefine Greek gastronomy

Located at the foot of the Acropolis, this charming boutique hotel has a restaurant with a lovely terrace hidden away on the rooftop.
