    It started so well but little did we know... The decoration caught our eye so we sat there. The waitress came and immediately started speaking in English, also offering an English menu. And that’s where the issues started. “Everything is fresh so it will take 25 minutes to prepare everything” the waitress said. My boyfriend was looking at the menu and requested a cold tea specifically asking in advance if its Lipton as he didn’t intend to buy Lipton in a coffee place. “It is not Lipton it is a tea that we make” the waitress replied, so my boyfriend ordered it. Around 25 mins later indeed, the order arrived, our burgers, tea and coffee. The burgers look tasty from the pictures and that’s what we thought when we saw them, immediately digging in. And then I felt it. I recognized the taste This cheap, instant meat from the convenience stores. The patties were frozen and thrown in an oven or even microwave straight from the freezer. My boyfriend looked his tea in disgust. «It’s Lipton” he said. I tried too it was clearly sugary peach Lipton can from a convenience store. The coffee was borderline potable though I will give them that. And all of this at the cost of almost 17 euros while barely worth 5. Our stomachs were upset hours after eating. My boyfriend asked the bill and that’s the dialogue that followed: “You told me that everything was fresh and the tea is homemade didn’t you?” “Yes of course” replied the waitress. “Then why the burgers were frozen and the tea Lipton?” The waitress then said: “Well the menu says the meat is frozen and we put a splash of Lipton for increased taste” She totally changed her words. This is the definition of fraud. I would have given 0 stars but unfortunately it is not available.

    We had beer plate. It was wonderful. Price is good and waiters are kind. But the inside was cold. We wanted to stay more but couldn't as we felt cold.

    Cracking bar with a lot of cats! Staff are really friendly and the service is great! Most definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

    A cozy and sweet bistro in one of the busiest hip areas of Athens. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the service was great for a busy Saturday afternoon! We ordered an omelette and savory pancakes, both well-cooked and in generous portions. The homemade lemonade with ginger ale was also tasty and refreshing. If you’re around, it’s worth a visit.

    Amazing service, great food, and immaculate vibez. Recommend the “for beer” platter for the value and the sampling of different types of local cuisine

    I visited this place on August, and totally forgot to review. Laluk caught me eye for a long time now, and I finally visited. This place is SO chilled, I loved the small terrace right in front of the store, so cosy! I had a homemade lemonade, which was amazing. Prices are good, menu has a large selection. The highlight are the kitties, one if them sat down next to me and purred and then fell asleep. This is cuteness overload. If you love cats, this is the place to be! Owners and waiters were very friendly and talkative. Thank you for taking care of the kittens ^^

    Sweet service, good drinks at reasonable price. They serve cheese and olives platter with the drinks which was great. They also served popcorn which I was not a big fan of, they should replace it by peanuts. Beautiful location.

    Perfectly adequate spot for a quiet dinner with friends. Pizza was tasty, burgers were the meatloaf style of patty we encountered a few times in Greece. Service was friendly and attentive.

    Cozy bar, great cocktails (the one with cucumber, lime and red pepper corns was incredible), super friendly staff, nice tunes, all contributed to a really nice atmosphere. We had a lovely evening. The carrot cake was also really tasty! Edit: went back the next evening for dinner. Food was surprisingly good for a bar. Having sampled more cocktails, my initial assertion about their quality stands.

    Attracted by the diversity of music and customers. Old Greek gentlemen enjoyed their Saturday morning coffee while others spent times on writing, books and food. We tried our first Greek coffee and loved the taste. Selection of local food and drink are available, we ordered Santorini omelet which is great. Nice staff always with smiles. We had breakfast here 3 times during our stay in Athens. Come here to experience the atmosphere.

    One of our favorite restaurants during our stay in Athens! Very close to our apartment and the staff was always friendly. We enjoyed our first Greek coffee here, as well as our first kagianas, both were delicious! The cafe is super cute and sitting outside is very relaxing.

    Laluk is a lovely spot for drinks and dining! We especially appreciated our waitress as she provided prime entertainment, advice, and her English was superb! We highly recommend this establishment. They also turned on a heater for us which we appreciated.

    The butler was exceptionally good and the waiter / waitress was really really nice. We vacationed here for a week and had breakfast here every day except for the first day (we have been here for the first time on the second day). 10/10

    Disappointing to see a place, where we used to be regular costumes, to be transformed to a attraction where costumes are picked by the owner’s preferences. The used the old Greek trip to place reserve sighs to the tables, until you ask them for availability. Then they will "check you" and decide if you are fulfilling their standards? Seriously disappointed. We used to come here since the place was empty. The area got popular, so we became the Greeks we all know. Ps. I am Greek too. Won’t visit again. Enjoy

    We had breakfast here two times, everything was perfect: tasty food, good prices and friendly stuff. We tried the salted pancakes, club sandwich and scrambled eggs with feta&tomatoes.

    First night in Athens, stumbled into this amazing spot. I could look at the bartender all day making the cocktails. He was so focused and the cocktails are great. Our server, Vasiliki is amazing. Gave us some recs to go around.

  • 5/5 madb 1. 8 months ago on Google
    The serving staff were brilliant, constantly engaged, never idle and all pleasantly chatty. By far the best variety of bar snacks in any bar we visited (and we visited a lot!). The atmosphere and decor was brilliant, we came back several nights after discovering Laluk

    Super cute bar! We had burgers which were delicious. But most of all, the service was excellent. Billy, our waitress, was the kindest! So happy to have met you on our trip here in Athens, thanks again!

    Excellent breakfast with wonderful service. Breakfast plate was £7 and very filling. "Filter" Coffee was smooth and delicious, french press I think.

  • 5/5 lucia s. 9 months ago on Google
    Tha place is amazing, I was by myself and the staff welcomed me and brought me a cold beer in a cold glass, nothing to ask more than this during a very hot summer day! Away from the tourist places but central enough to have a walk in the evening and enjoy the beautiful Athens. Wonderful. Looking forward to coming back soon!!!

  • 5/5 Irene F. 9 months ago on Google
    Laluk Cafe in Athens is a hidden gem, one of the city's best. The friendly staff and owners, create a welcoming atmosphere, and the cafe is extremely pet-friendly. With a cozy ambiance, delicious food, and exceptional service, Laluk is a must-visit for pet lovers and anyone seeking a delightful experience in Athens. Irene

    One of our favourite places in Athens. Their food and coffee are amazing. They have the best red velvet cake we have ever had. Staff are super friendly. We have 3 kids and the staff made sure to cater for their needs and keep them happy. Our kids kept asking to go back there. Highly recommend.

    Amazing bar with delicious local drinks. The staff is the best, very friendly and excellent service. The external area is beautiful, with tables under trees and surrounded by a garden which gives you a nice experience of being in the nature while you enjoy your meal. Best bar in the area!

    Menu easy to read and accessible by QR code. Variety of food and drink options. Large servings - omelette and salmon were great choices.

  • 3/5 Rick G. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent spot on the boulevard, all the customers seem to be locals. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze as it was full inside and many people here smoke cigarettes. The salad was very good the feta cheese was a treat. The entrees were good but perhaps under seasoned? Hard to say. Service was good and the cost reasonable!

    Ranjia and Sofia were the kindest and sweetest waitresses. I love the place. Can only recommend the orzo and the salads. And listen to their wine suggestions, they really know what they are doing 💕
