What is it? Elevated Greek cuisine in a historic building.
Why we love it: Chef Petros Dimas at Makris Athens has put a lifetime of experience on a plate – earning him a Michelin star in 2024. Here, Greek cuisine meets fine dining in a beautiful setting in the center of Athens, where ancient Greece blends with contemporary cool. Choose from one of the three tasting menus, (Genesis, Utopia or Physis Vegan), paired with drinks curated by head sommelier Michalis Kapranos. Drink up a mushroom ‘cappuccino’, savour on red shrimp with caviar from Epirus and enjoy a bouquet of fresh greens and herbs, which he handpicks every day or two directly from the family’s farm near Athens. This is not your typical dining experience – but it’s about as ‘special occasion’ as it gets.
Time Out tip: If possible, ask them to show you the basement, which is usually used for private dining. I wont give away too much, but let’s just say that you shall be dining over ancient Athens...
