Orizontes Lycabettus

We visited the restaurant a few days ago. If you don't take into account that we refused water, but they brought it to us, spilled it and made us pay for it, everything was fine. Also found hair in the fish, but we had no problem replacing the fish with a new one, but it had a lot more bones than the previous one. And so the view is very beautiful, when booking indicated what table we prefer and it was taken into account. The rest of the food is delicious and there are no questions.

What can I say. View and Food were excellent. We had a great terrace table which overlooked Athens. For those who love their meat the Pork Tomahawk is sensational. Definitely book in advance

Getting here is a real experience, there’s a cable car but the walk up to the cable car, composed mainly of stairs is pretty steep to begin with. We arrived around sunset and it was quite busy on the hill and the cable car was running pretty continuously. We’d a reservation and got a great table next to the window. First the positives, the view is awesome. Service I thought was pretty decent certainly friendly and we were made to feel welcome. I’m afraid I was a little disappointed with the food, I ordered the fish of the day (sea bream) and the dish just felt a little over-complicated to me. My wife had lobster which was a much better choice. It wasn’t cheap either. Overall it’s probably worth going for the view and the experience but not as a food destination.

The views are incredible, even though it was cloudy was well worth the trip, very special spot! Definitely book in advance- we were on the waitlist as booked last minute and were very lucky to get outside table. It was so beautiful. The food was really good too!

The food, drinks, staff and view were all 10/10. I would plan extra time to get up there as we were slightly late due to waiting to go up and they will give away your table if you are late. I would also suggest booking at least 4 weeks in advance as they give the tables with the best views on a first come first serve basis. Every dish was to a high standard from ingredients to presentation to flavour. We went for sunset so they were very busy and took a while to take our order but the view and quality of everything else is worth it. Although they may have taken long to serve us their attitude about it was fantastic and genuine.

Breath taking views!!! Be aware you have to take a sort of tramway— which i thought was very cool. The food was so good, to start we had greek salad and grilled shrimp then for main course lamb and pork. The staff was friendly and attentive. A hidden gem!

Orizontes Lycabettus is an absolute dream. Perched at the top of Mount Lycabettus, it offers the most breathtaking view of Athens—especially at sunset. Watching the city light up below with the Acropolis in the distance? Unmatched. We came for the view and stayed for the romance. The atmosphere is elegant without being stuffy, with soft lighting, attentive service, and just enough breeze to make it feel like a movie scene. The food was refined and flavorful, but let’s be honest—the real star is the setting. Whether you’re clinking wine glasses at golden hour or staying for dinner under the stars, it’s an unforgettable experience. Perfect for a romantic date night or a special moment you want to lock in your memory forever. Bonus points if you take the cable car up and walk it off on the way down.

I would say you pay the the views, not the quality of food. I was glad that we did not have to pay a deposit or be a large party to get a reservation, as many Athens restaurants with the view/rooftops require this. The food was good, but nothing special and the prices were quite high. Also as the time went by and the place got busier (around sunset time) it was a bit hard to get a server to come to us, we ended up waiting for the bill for about half an hour, just looking at each other :) But the views are unmatched. Also the restaurant is a grat way to avoid crowds visiting the top of the hill.
