Botrini's Restaurant Athens

An overall amazing experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The Chef’s table menu (including a few extra courses) is definitely worth it. Very positive to note that most ingredients are Greek. Many of these ingredients act as the main point of a dish, appearing in them in many forms. The presentation of all dishes was amazing. It would be nice however, if there was a recommendation on how to eat some of the dishes, to get the best tasting experience. Seeing the kitchen staff prepare each dish is captivating. However, the atmosphere surrounding the Chef’s table should be improved.

I am speechless… As I was writing my review and reflecting on my night I was ready to award 3 or 4 stars until I noticed something on my bill. But let me rewind. We had made a reservation through the Dine Athens initiative which provides a set menu at 80 euros per person. To be honest, I liked everything I ate with a personal highlight being the swordfish carpaccio and a total disappointment being the beef which was chewy and tough and both of us were not able to finish it. I would then deduct one star for that. I would deduct another star because the staff, although being friendly and eager, from a certain point onwards felt disoriented. We requested a glass of red wine to come with our tartare but it was forgotten and we had to remind them after we finished our dish. We also had to remind them a couple of times to bring our check. However, when I went home, I checked the bill and I saw that we were charged 3 bottles of water that we certainly did not consume as there were only two of us and we mainly focused on wine. We barely had a bottle at maximum. This practice is at the very least sketchy and certainly not worthy of a Michelin- starred restaurant. I definitely do not recommend and will not visit again.

They certainly try hard to present fine dining experience. But the quality of the food is just not good enough, not worthy of the Michelin star in my opinion. There are so many Greek restaurants in Mykonos (Nice n Easy) and Santorini (Character) that are so much better, without the star.

What a place! An amazing experience from the start to the finish. Very good personnel, amazing food and drinks. Note that the champagne option as a starter costed €45,- per glass. It was very good! But good to know the price ;).

This Michelin-starred restaurant offers set menus featuring 10 to 14 dishes. The cuisine reflects the chef's Greek and Italian heritage. A fine selection of Greek, Italian, and French wines is available. The chef is a celebrity with numerous establishments in Attica. The price is quite reasonable for such a high level of gastronomy.

Greek tradition in perfect harmony with modern cuisine. Every course comes with a story which you take with you at the end of the dining. I could place this restaurant easily at the top 3 of all the restaurants we’ve visited so far. Everything made is perfection! My personal highlight, the melomakarono dessert, probably the best dessert I’ve ever tasted. This is a truly unique experience that everyone should try when in Athens. Will definitely visit again!

Loved the food, service and the ambience. We were the first to arrive, great welcome to the restaurant with a cold glass of Greek sparkling wine. Servers were very friendly and easy to talk to. Every course had a story and surprises which was enjoyable. I have seen Michelin restaurants to bread in single serving size, someone actually cutting a loaf with a great crust in front of the table was awesome. Wine pairing was mostly spot on except for a couple of pairings which felt a bit off (but could be a personal preference). Desserts were unbelievable and enjoyable. At the end the stories were made into a book in front of us which was a nice surprise. Overall a wonderful experience like walking through an art gallery, worth cherishing. Highly recommend Botrini’s if you’re in Athens. It is little away from the city center but easily accessible via metro and a taxi.

It's a lovely place. It is expensive but worth trying. Michelin star service is followed by fantastic food. I do recommend wine pairing
