    Lovely and cosy atmosphere, inside an old train! Enjoy the theatre, or the bar or the music wagon on the train. With a selection of very tasty cuisine, mostly Greek. Don't miss the band "jazz express" who put on an amazing performance with very nice jazz music. The music wagon used to be an original wagon of the orient express which is pretty cool to be in it and see this piece of history.

    Great place! The jazz remixes only are enough to make you travel :P The feeling being inside the wagon is great! Would like a bit bigger cocktails, thought.

    The show Frankie meets Ella was beautiful, great musicians with angelic voices- I thoroughly enjoyed it! The location is very unique. The food platters served in the music wagon are decent but can be improved. Thank you for a great evening out!

    Loved the concept and attended for a musical performance. The ticket price included a bottle of water for four and a glass of wine each, which I found quite generous. The self service bar offers nice drinks and is good value for money. The only negative, but probably out of the control of the venue and the organisers, is the people's attitude. I found it the least impolite, to have people chatting loudly during the show (and standing quite during the break), but this is the sad reality of modern Greeks' culture...

    The place is wonderful. It's an old train with a bar car, a restaurant car and a theater car, I tried the restaurant and it's a truly pleasant experience. Worthy of note is the waiter (an actor): I have never seen a kind person like him, I congratulate him. The only negative note is the food which is truly disappointing. And to say that I had taken bifteki, so a very simple thing I was also very disappointed with the other dishes. Sin. It would be a top restaurant with better food

    A place with a magical atmosphere, I fell in love with it! An excellent performance of “Noor’s magic brush”, for children aged from 5 to 10, inside the one-of-a-kind Theater Wagon. The quality, the atmosphere all 10!

    Amazing environment. Very average food. Can be the best place in Athens if they only changed the chef

    Very original idea to transform an old train to multi space for theater bar and restaurant. The bar is small but beautifully decorated. The restaurant is a good option for romantic dinners but i did not liked the fact that people pass through to go to the theater wagon. Maybe it would be better to enter from a different door or something. The theater wagon is a great experience. Also there are same tables outside the train but it would be nice during the summer.

    Amazing experience in the theater wagon of the train. Minimalistic space available but fantastic performances make you feel to be in a different place all the time.

    Nice environment. It depends if you go for drinks or food. For food, little variety.

    My visit to the restaurant was a magical escape to another era. Unfortunately the variety of food was limited and the flavors did not stand out. Although the atmosphere and setting were unique, the experience at the table was not as impressive as I expected. The setting of the restaurant definitely compensates you. I recommend booking as space is limited. Operating since 1997, it is time for some modifications and renovations, but without losing its unique charm and atmosphere that make it so special, the restaurant has become one of the most talked about places. Would recommend for the unique setting!

    It’s a place that works *only* with reservation. I got a place on the tavern and asked if I get a simple dessert. The guy didn’t know (?!). It’s a beautiful idea but demands more staff to work it out.

    A good idea that could take off!! Great atmosphere, with minor faults and mediocre food. My partner and I were there on the 29th after a lot of effort to book (in retrospect I wonder why). We are talking about a place that takes you somewhere completely different, with good wine. Now let's get to the negatives. The tables were not all the same, not all had candles, some only had a candle holder. This generally exuded an aphasia. But we wouldn't even mind that if the food wasn't so-so. We had the potatoes as an appetizer, which you couldn't even call honeyed, a completely processing dish with a meager to cheesy setup. It didn't go with the whole energy they were trying to promote. Pumpkin soup good, no complaints. Somewhere in there I was revived. And let's get to the main thing... I simply got spaghetti with pesto, and my partner chicken with a sauce and truffle rice (approximate description, you will see it in the menu exactly) Mine was frozen, and the pesto left me with the flavor that oregano chips leave me with; and the texture. The chicken was raw, not all the pieces, but some bigger ones had a strange taste and looking more closely we found that they were pink! The rice, a personal favorite (laughs), was a well-known orange brand of packaged rice. What I also noticed was that no one asked us the whole time, how was the food, if we needed anything; and you would say, ok relax! Waiters have jobs too! In a concept restaurant with 15 tables, even the manager can ask discreetly. At the end, to his credit, the waiter asked us how we liked the food; as he had also asked the next table when we sat down and complained about the salmon, but we didn't complain to him because firstly I lost my appetite and secondly, he was very kind. He didn't deserve to be scolded for something he wasn't responsible for. Great idea, poor execution. They can do better!

    Very nice atmosphere with special decoration. Something completely different from the usual. The staff very willing to serve and with gusto. When I called to make a reservation, I was informed that I only have to make it on the same day if it concerns the restaurant. So when I called on the same day, I was told that the entire restaurant was booked. Nevertheless we sat in the bar area which was very nice and later, at our request, we were taken to the restaurant. The food portions were too small and we are not talking about gourmet dishes. Also, 2/3 dishes were overly salty to the point where one was inedible. Of course, the lady in charge was more than willing to replace it for us. It needs a lot of work in the kitchen and it's a shame because it's a great one-of-a-kind space.

    It's a train turned into a restaurant with great food. What else do you want?

    Nice place if you don’t like to eat…

  • 4/5 Aristomenis K. 5 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, original as an idea for the area, friendly staff and plenty of parking space. The menu was interesting, although not with a wide selection of dishes (which, personally, I do not consider a bad thing). The taste of what we ordered was mediocre though (which, again, is a personal thing). Prices were reasonable. Definitely a place I would recommend for a drink or light dinner.

    Beautiful and unique place to eat. It was a little bit expensive and also the vegan options were limited.

  • 4/5 Eleni L. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    A very beautiful and unique place! Dinner was served to us inside a nicely decorated, cosy wagon. The menu was small and every dish we tried was special and delicious. The waiters and staff were amusing and helpful. There was a misunderstanding in the beginning with our reservation but we were eventually served and also given a treat at the end for the delay. —> 25-30€ per person ❌ bathrooms were old, unwell and away from the train ❌location (Tavros) is not beautiful, so the only reason for visiting is to eat Overall, highly recommended experience. Thank you for your hospitality!
