Sense Rooftop Restaurant

Fantastic meal where we went to celebrate whilst on honeymoon. Very accommodating to a last minute booking via Google. Service was excellent, great wine list (that they let us try a few before we orders) and lovely to have genuine Greek inspired food in a Michelin-star styled tasting menu. Would strongly recommend, even before taking into account the amazing views of the Acropolis.

Best meal we had in Athens! Incredible service, seriously delicious and creative food with beautiful wine-pairing. Energizing! Thank you.

Went to this Michelin restaurant recently and had a good experience. The atmosphere was amazing super stylish but still comfortable, and the vibe was just right. Service was also spot-on. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and really made us feel taken care of. The 9-course tasting menu was a bit of a letdown overall. Most of the dishes were just okay, but nothing memorable. That said, two of them were genuinely excellent and stood out from the rest. It just made us wish the whole menu had that same level of creativity and flavor. At the end of the day, it was a pleasant night out and worth checking out.

Perched atop the AthensWas Hotel, SENSE Restaurant offers diners a panoramic terrace with truly spectacular views of the Acropolis at sunset.  The ambiance is complemented by attentive service, ensuring a comfortable dining experience. However, during my visit, the culinary offerings did not consistently meet the high expectations set by the establishment’s ambiance and accolades. While the beetroot with cheese and prawn dish stood out for its delightful flavors, the remainder of the tasting menu was disappointing. Several dishes were notably over-salted, and overall, the menu lacked the innovative flair one might anticipate from a restaurant mentioned by the Michelin Guide. In summary, SENSE Restaurant excels in providing a stunning setting and commendable service. Yet, for those seeking a memorable gastronomic journey, the experience may fall short of expectations.

We had booked it for an early dinner on Christmas day (at 18.00). We have invited some friends , so we have chosen Sense for the special Christmas menu that was published online. Moreover, we had confirmed twice the menu over the phone. Upon arrival, the waiters brought us the menu and I told them that we wish to have the special menu. They replied to me “today, there is no special menu, we have our daily menu”. When my husband complained to the manager/hostess, she replied to him that the special menu operates only for lunch, but nobody had informed us in advance. In my opinion, for a Michelin star restaurant, the service is as important as the food. There should be a notice regarding the special term of lunch time. It was really disappointing as we had invited our friends. All in all, there are 2 main dishes & 4 starters , that have nothing to do with the Christmas menu. The view is beutiful but the setting is just ok, especially when it is raining and window is leaking water.

Genuinely one of the best culinary experiences I have had. Incredible and flexible service. My initial table was not one with a view of the Acropolis so they offered to move me over as soon as one cleared, it was very thoughtful of them. All the food was delicious, but the sole and scallop dishes are worth a shout out.

Our recent dining experience was certainly memorable, though not one we’d wish to ever repeat. While the restaurant boasts a great view and pretty dishes, the overall impression was mixed. The wine tasting was phenomenal, and a few dishes, particularly the first and last courses, were great. However, the positives were significantly overshadowed by several major drawbacks. The most concerning issue involved a guest with an allergy. Despite repeatedly communicating this caveat in advance and having our reservation confirmed with this information, the restaurant's "solution" was simply to not serve that individual nor make any accommodation whatsoever. This lack of consideration was beyond unacceptable. Furthermore, the vast majority of the dishes felt over-the-top for the sake of being over-the-top, rather than for enhancing the culinary experience. Ultimately, none of the members of our large group indicated they would ever return, nor would they recommend it to anyone… anyone they like.

We just had an incredible dining experience at SENSE. The first wow comes from the incredible and intimate views that greet you when you arrive at the restaurant. The second wow is the fantastic waiting staff who can recommend excellent wine selections from the menu and are constantly making sure you're having a pleasant dining experience. The third and most important wow was the tasting menu, which was both sufficiently copious but more importantly offered fantastic culinary experiences with each dish. Some of these will stay with us as being the most surprising and complex dishes we've come across. Definitely a Michelin star worthy experience.
