Athens : our selection of restaurants with terraces and views
"The Zillers, at the foot of the AcropolisRight in the centre of Athens, opposite the cathedral, this charming boutique hotel occupies an elegant neo-Classical building. The restaurant The Zillers resides on the enchanting terrace hidden away on the rooftop, set in a verdant roof garden with an unbeatable view of the Acropolis. During dinner, the temples of the Parthenon gradually light up, creating a mood of great mystery.Having clocked up experience working for Pierre Gagnaire and at the restaurant Azurmendi, chef Pavlos Kiriakis took the helm in 2019. His efforts have since been rewarded with a MICHELIN star ! The atmosphere may remain intimate and laid back, but the food is of the highest standard. His delicately presented dishes showcase delightfully subtle flavours : for example, prawn carpaccio with a bergamot jus or turbot with cockles and asparagus with Greek caviar… A really nice touch is the trolley from which you can choose your own extra virgin olive oil for your meal. The pastries are created by Georgios Platinos (previously working with Parisian patisserie Gilles Marchal) and the 100-strong selection of Greek wines is complemented by a few finds from further afield." - MICHELIN Guide
