Makris Athens Fine Dining Restaurant

What an exquisite and overwhelming Dinner we had here - So well executed ! This is a must if you love and appreciate Fine dining. The chef takes you on a journey through his childhood memories and more.. you have 2 options of tasting menus with wine pairing, and you can also add caviar or truffle to certain parts of your meal. The Restaurant is beautifully decorated and the setting is fabulous. Service was extraordinary.

Wow what an experience that was! One of the best michelin star restaurant I had visited in Athens in the last years! Everything from start to finish was superb, the food, the service, the wine, the atmosphere! We took the utopia set menu and add on top of it the lobster - wow!!! The story of the chef with the food is exceptional! If it's a warm night you can also sit outside and enjoy the view. Super recommended if you search for a high-end place to eat.

Fabulous dinner at Makris tonight, it was my girlfriend's 30th birthday and we Couldn’t have been happier. We have eaten at fine dining restaurants around the world (some Rated best in the world) but our experience at Makris blew them all away. Dimitri’s and Joanna were amazing with impeccable service. The food was fantastic, every dish better than the one before and the chef came out signed our menus and personally gave us gifts on the way out. When you come to Athens this is a restaurant you cannot miss!!! Thank you Makris the whole team, food, atmosphere were top rated!

You can’t be a Michelin star restaurant and rush people through their several course dinner cause you have double booked the table in one evening, several times we were not finished with our dish and they came to take it away. This very much hindered the entire experience. The food was really nice and esthetically beautiful, the place is nice and the somelier was outstanding. Insanely expensive for the experience we got. Honestly disappointed.

This is the second Michelin star restaurant I tried in my trip to Athens. Overall the experience was great - I loved the little touches that you can't find elsewhere, such as choosing your water brand, having your wet towel be "prepared" by the staff, your choice of steak knife and the list goes on. Similar to other Michelin star restaurants in Athens, you have the option of a juice pairing and it's a great option for those looking for something non-alcoholic. You also have the option of modifying or adding items to your tasting menu (if you don't choose the A La Carte menu) and, while it's great to try more things, do watch out on the amount of food you'll be eating. By the end of the service, we were both very full and I'm glad I skipped out on most the bread, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish all the dishes.

The experience is like no other - from choosing your brand of water to choosing which steak knife you wanted or oil from the olive oil menu, Makris truly is differentiated. The service was highly attentive, personalized and overall very good. We did the tasting menu which was great. The food was good but not exceptional. Overall, I’d give Makris more like 4.5/5 rather than 5/5 but I see why it earns its Michelin star

The food was good, of course, but nothing exceptional for a Michelin star restaurant. Maybe even below average. The ambiance was also nice, but the expectation created was that the Acropolis could be seen from the terrace, which was only the case if the your table was at the edge. The service was also very slow, with around one hour wait time to start the dinner and long wait times in between dishes. Overall, the experience was not bad. Just worse than what you would expect from this kind of restaurants.

Beautiful food with an incredible view of the Acropolis. We were welcomed in and taken upstairs to their rooftop. The flavors were paired perfectly and the plates enhanced the beauty of the dishes. My favorite was the scallop in a pumpkin sauce while my boyfriend’s was the rich mushroom soup with truffle canapé. Staff was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu features ingredients from all over Greece which are explained in the menu. Atmosphere is calm and not stuffy you can feel at certain fine dining restaurants. We were lucky enough to meet chef Patron who was kind and gifted us a little snack for the following morning. Highly recommend if you’re a foodie visiting Athens.
