By the Glass Athens

Dinner at Bistro by the Glass in Athens was absolutely delightful! The staff were welcoming, kind, and very helpful in guiding us to choose the perfect wine—Plano Malagousia, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the cheese and charcuterie board was exceptional. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Amazing. Been to many wine bars around the globe and this might be my new favorite. Everyone so fun and helpful, really awesome selection of Greek wines. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Best selection of wines from Greece and Europe. Knowledgable wait staff that can pair wines with food. Tasting size (150 ml) available which makes it easy to sample multiple wines. Great jazz music as well. Reservations highly recommended. So good that I ate here twice!

The restaurant is well dedigned in an elegant way and is hidden from the overall "beauty" of the surroundings. I went there for a business dinner but I dont think there would be much difference if it was privately. Went there @18.30 and left @22.30 having just finished the dessert. There were long waiting times even for a beer (not all of the to be fair) - we had the food around 21.00 although we didnt delay the order. The steak (veal) was well cooked but nothing special in terms of taste. Salad was better. Pinsa good but rather small. Dessert was interesting but only the pastry, sorbet chocolate so and so. Overall I dont believe it was worth the price the company paid and I would most probably wouldn't choose it myself again. Variety of beers was reduced as opposed to wines, but since we didnt opt for wine I cannot say anything.

We stopped here for a glass of wine after just arriving in Athens. It’s a beautiful building, and there’s a huge choice of wines. It was also nice and quiet. The lady who served us was lovely, welcoming and very knowledgable of Greek wines. She also taught us some Greek words. Shame we didn’t have time to go back for another glass to say goodbye when we left the city. Thank you!!

Made a booking for 4 inside without issues. Arrived and got sat outside in the hallway - slightly annoying but at least the staff apologised for the change of plans. Ordered from a comprehensive wine list and everyone was satisfied. Got a really nice beef tartare, the chicken was alright and the dishes generally satisfactory with the exception of the aubergine that was a let down, the various purees really didn't mix well. Service was great, the staff attentive, quick and polite. Fairly expensive, justified mostly by the service and the location. Decent option but there's a lot of good alternatives in the city centre to better cater to someone's tastes.

Very nice atmosphere. We seat inside. Food was very tastefully. Risotto with mushroom and truffle was very tastefully. Portion was big enough. Small whole chicken was nice and quite big portion.

This wine bar/ restaurant has got one of the best selection of local and international wines, lots available by the glass through their Coravin preservation system ... something I really like as it gives you an option to taste wines you may not know without having to buy a whole bottle! 😀👍 I also like that they are open every day in the week and in summer you can enjoy a glass of wine with or without food in their urban garden across the street. Actually it's one of my favorite summer outdoor dining locations in central Athens! 👍😋👍 In the winter months I prefer their twinkling arcade from their inner rooms but wherever seated the service is always friendly & professional.
