    Beautiful views. Perfect for a late afternoon drinks. They don’t take reservations so you may need to queue up or go in and find a table yourself because the system isn’t very organized. We tried a couple of snacks which were very good. The fries are awesome! There was a mango tequila drinks that was delicious and their aperol spritz was also very good.

    Good terrace restaurant and brasserie in Athens Greece located near to Monastraki square. Full of people and very high in traffic. Lively place.

    Nice cafe - restaurant in the center of Athens, in Metaxourgeio, with a nice view of Acropolis and Plaka neighborhood, as it is located on the third floor of an industrial building. We had brunch and coffee. The food is descent but not something special and definitely pricey. The service was excellent. A nice place but definitely has a touristy vibe to it.

    Lovely bar with amazing views. The rooftop bar was very busy so we went a floor down and have a great view of the acropolis through the large windows. Drinks were good (€12 a cocktail) and we tried the nachos which were good if a little greasy.

    We had a lovely evening at Couleur Locale! The ambience and the view of the Acropolis were great. One of the waiters recommended me The Surfer as my cocktail of choice was unavailable that evening - he was a very sweet guy, good service! The food portions were big and I really liked the refreshing Tabbouleh. A few negatives were that the music was super loud and it was quite difficult to find a seat with good views (most were covered by plants or the overhead umbrellas). Would be better if they have non-smoking corners too. Nevertheless it was still a good experience!

    This rooftop restaurant in the middle of Monastiraki has a breathtaking view of this Acropolis. There is a good atmosphere and the brunch was great with lots of choice and a beautiful presentation. The prices were fair and we had a great time. Thank you for this moment !

    Great spot to enjoy drinks and a view of the lit up Acropolis. If you're like us when visiting Athens, all you want to do is stare at the Acropolis! We only came for drinks but it was a nice evening. We went on a Tuesday & waited maybe 5 minutes to be let up the elevator and seated. It was a nice calm atmosphere, dark with only some lights but helps you see the Acropolis better. Service was great and we didn't feel rushed as we just wanted to hang out.

    Quality food, drinks and good prices. View at night was ace! Lighting around the table was very dark, so not the best. Still, good vibes all round. Will defo visit again. Aug 2023 visit.

    If you think Coloeur Locale is worth the visit only because of the views you're wrong. Food is more than decent (especially the lukumades) and the cocktail menu is very interesting. Very hard to find a table though, which is a good sign.

    Awesome chilled rooftop bar with great cocktails amd nice view of the Acropolis. Service was great too. They don't take reservations, but we arrived at 7pm on a Thursday amd pretty much got the last available table. By 8pm quite a few people were waiting for a table.

    Great views of the Acropolis! The food was absolutely delicious! The drinks were good but a bit overpriced. You are definitely paying for the views on this rooftop bar but it’s worth the price. We arrived at 8pm and were able to sit right away. We stayed and drank until sunset and it was so beautiful! Would definitely recommend if it’s your first time in Athens and want to get a great view of the Parthenon and enjoy some cocktails.

    Terrace with a nice view of the acropolis and chill vibes. They have a brunch menu. Food took a bit long to come and was good (not amazing). Might be a better place to go for drinks and nibbles.

  • 4/5 LoKan S. 5 months ago on Google • 119 reviews
    Really crowded and "ok" food. Kind of expensive too. Service wasn't that great but the atmosphere and the view are amazing, so it's was a good moment altogether.

  • 5/5 Michaela B. 7 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Very nice roof bar/restaurant with amazing view on Acropolis. The servis is English speaking. The cheese plate and goat cheese salad were excellent. I can recommend.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 7 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    The food was pretty decent but probably not the best meal of the trip in all honesty. Despite that, this place is still definitely worth coming to just for the spectacular views of the Acropolis and the rest of the city. We turned up about an hour before sunset and got the second-to-last table, so if you want to watch the sunset from here then make sure you arrive well in advance (it didn't seem like they took reservations). The service was great as well, with very friendly waiters and complimentary snacks with each drink, and the prices were very reasonable.

    Had a late lunch on a Friday. I ordered the Goat Smoked Cheese Salad. It is the first time I had a salad like this. I enjoyed the flavor. The vegetables were grilled just right. I came at a good time and was able to pick a table with a good view of the Acropolis.

    Looking for a rooftop bar in Athens? This is your place. Great cocktail list and expertly made. They do serve food but that's not the reason to come here. It's the view. Almost all tables have a stunning view of the Acropolis. Be early for a good table, around 8pm it will fill up.

  • 5/5 janiek3 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    100% worth a visit! Drinks were lovely and the food is absolutely legend. I am a vegetarian and the Quinoa Salad made my day as it had loads of vegetables, grains and flavour. ♥️ Oh and not to forget: the view is perfect! Finally, nice crew - compliments for the girl with the beautiful red eyeliner :)

  • 5/5 Dewei H. 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Highly recommend! My Greek colleague (a local Anthens people) told me this place. Here you will have a fantastic view of Acropolis on the terrace with their amazing food and drinks! They are also enthusiastic and make sure you have a good experience!

  • 5/5 Emily J. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful time overlooking the acropolis as night fell. Great drinks, lovely staff and an amazing view. Loved that it was a bit trickier to find.

    The most amazing service, relaxed vibe, delicious food, and a fantastic view of the Acropolis to top it off.

  • 5/5 Pamela S. 2 years ago on Google
    A locale gem indeed, had a great time enjoying a drink with the view of the acropolis. I ordered the gin basil smash which was very tasty. The staff are very friendly and the service is quite fast. The ambiance and music are very nice as well. A mist visit for a local experience.

  • 5/5 Maud B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice rooftop with view on the Acropole. The food is very delicious as well and good priced. Perfect for lunch!

  • 5/5 Enrico M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with a perfect view of the Acropolis. Beautiful soft music and great cocktails

  • 4/5 Megan D. 2 years ago on Google
    This place isn't somewhere that you will stumble upon, it's located on the roof of a non descript building. Fantastic views, really friendly staff and good food. The poached eggs were quite undercooked (translucent egg white) but the food was tasty. Would return.

  • 5/5 Maud H. 2 years ago on Google
    The cocktails are amazing and the view is breathtaking:) there will be a bit of a queue but it’s definitely worth it! We didn’t go for the food just for the drinks 🍹

  • 5/5 Anthony F. 2 years ago on Google
    First thing you notice is the view of the acropolis from the roof top. The Gin basil smash cocktail that I order was actually the best version I have ever had. I also ordered the egg pork pull, which too was incredible. Definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Ehsan J. 4 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Good food, with a view of acropolis. The staff were friendly. We ordered the truffle burger and falafel burger and they were tasty. We really liked the fries.

  • 5/5 Kathryn A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good cocktails and bar food. The view of the Acropolis is magical. Attentive (and safely masked) service. Prices seemed on par with the area and fair for a very touristic area.

  • 5/5 Wai Yee W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing service, great view of the Acropolis and Athens city, delicious cocktails, catchy playlist. What more one ask for a rooftop price. Decent price too!

  • 5/5 Kata Budapest tour g. 2 years ago on Google
    Hip rooftop bar in the center of Athens! Spacious, bright and cozy. And has the view!

  • 5/5 heartinhalifax 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped here to sit somewhere warm and have a drink with a beautiful view. It did not disappoint! Incredible view and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Chef L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place to grab a late drink with an amazing view of the Acropolis at night. The drinks are well balance and creative. Highly recommended!!

  • 5/5 Nefeli A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely cocktails, the terrace was full so we went on the floor below which has also a pretty nice view and since it was half full we got served right away.

  • 5/5 Iris Corbacho Y R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing quinoa salad and chicken salad. Very tasty & healthy. They have a lot of other great food too that we saw passing by but we fancied something light. Amazing views and very friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Eleanore O. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome cocktails, good food and spectacular views of Akropoli. Avoid the cheese platter if you don't like mild cheese, none of them really had much bite, but I liked it anyway. Music is a bit loud if you don't like house music but the views make up for it. Get there early if you don't want to wait for a table on the rooftop bar, but they seem to turn pretty quickly, even on a Friday and full moon! The entrance is a bit hidden down an arcade.

  • 4/5 Fabs 2 years ago on Google
    very cute location with a nice view, my celtic sour was delicious. be aware of that lambanda drink tho. very sweet.

  • 5/5 Elpida D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location for a nice coffee or some food. I always go there when I'm visiting Athens. Friendly staff and quick service. One of the best views of Acropolis in Athens from their rooftop. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Leah A. 1 year ago on Google
    amazing bar staff. we sat at the bar for a couple of hours, even though they were so busy they made us feel welcome. Our first night in Athens, will definitely be back while we are here

  • 5/5 Andréanne “Andie” T. 2 years ago on Google
    The best terrace with a view, a cool ambiance and the drinks are great!

  • 4/5 Nicole Y. 1 year ago on Google
    honestly here more for the sunset views. i expected more local food offered but it was mainly bar food options provided. the eggs and fries was really delicious. and the pizza was alright. i drank wine and that was a good choice. nice place to come here with friends. plenty of seating.

    We visited Couleur Locale cafe in Athens some days ago and it was a fantastic experience. The cafe is situated on a beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. The ambiance was lovely and serene, and it made for the perfect place to relax and unwind. We ordered a juice, coffee, and milkshake, and all of them were delicious. The juice was freshly squeezed and packed with flavor, the coffee was rich and aromatic, and the milkshake was creamy and indulgent. The menu had a great variety of options, and all of the ingredients were of high quality. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to recommend great options. Overall, I highly recommend Couleur Locale cafe to anyone visiting Athens. The terrace with a view of the Acropolis is a real highlight, and the drinks and food are top-notch. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of Athens

    One of the cutest roofs in Athens, good menu and drinks, amazing view. Be prepared for it to be crowded and of course prices would be what you expect with a view towards acropolis. But still it's a great place, with good service and quality options both non and with alcohol

  • 5/5 Pri 10 months ago on Google
    This was the best bar we went to in Athens. We came back twice in one night! The vibe was so fun, there was a dub/reggae night on and the staff were really kind and helpful. The view is absolutely incredible and food and drink tasty and reasonably priced. Cannot fault it!
