Prbably the best restaurant in the country! Aleria is a gem. The menu is incredibly balanced, exquisitely prepared, creative, paired well with top notch wine, and at the same time loyal to its Greek roots. A restaurant that highlights the richness, versatility and depth of Greek cuisine and products. Hands down the best dining experience I’ve ever had in Greece. It’s a restaurant but so much more. You get transported into a different world here. The contrast you feel before and after walking inside creates the illusion of stepping into a culinary bubble. Kudos to you for offering vegan version of the menu when I asked for it! My girlfriend had the non-vegan option, and we were both fascinated! Highly recommend for a special evening or any time you crave perfection. This restaurant is truly worth a trip for.

We had the 5 course Earth & Sea tasting menus. The garden is a beautiful atmosphere. The price for the tasting menu was reasonable. The dishes were nice but the only one that wowed us was the pumpkin mousse. We ordered the cheese course and it came after the lamb and before dessert so the placement felt wrong. I wouldn’t recommend the cheese course. The wine markups were a bit high. Service was very attentive. Nice experience, but we were expecting to be more surprised by the flavors and combinations. It felt pretty basic, but was fresh and had beautiful presentation. It was a fast experience and finished in about 1.5 hours. 3.5/5 ⭐️

Fabulous chef restaurant in a strange district of Athens. A good experience. 2 sorts of set menu 5 or 6 courses. A lot of wine varieties.. Glad we were there, all was good.

Excellent! A great mastership of traditional ingredients makes this chef dare bold blends. Impeccable balance of flavors, and a unique presentation. The wine pairing with local Greek wines is a must!

The little backyard is very atmospheric and the inside design very elegant and cozy. The customer service very exceptional, even if you feel a bit awkward if you haven’t used of visiting these kind of taste experiences. All the plates full of flavor. Little tasty bombs in your mouth. The best plate by far was the pumpkin mousse!❤️ It is pricey but you pay for the experience. I think this is the only reason why I wanted to be rich, only to experience more of these places, and to be able to give very good tip to the people who taking care of us.

We don't often treat ourselves to a place like this, so we were hoping it would blow us away. It did much more than that. Some of the best combinations of food I've ever tasted in my life. The menu descriptions don't encompass the intricate craft of the chef. If you're going with your partner, highly suggest one person getting the Earth & Sea, and the other the Garden & Nature to get a taste of everything. Both were absolutely insane, but the Garden & Nature was especially spectacular. I know- vegetarian food wouldn't be my first pick either, but when you taste each dish you won't be missing anything. Our absolute favorites were the Celeriac (!!!), the Pumpkin Mousse (!!!), the Beetroots, the Crab, the Beef Tartare (never thought I would say that), and the Mountain Tea Sorbet. We didn't opt for the wine pairings, but no doubt it would be amazing. Serafim was our server and he explained everything so well, the bartender was wonderful although we never got her name (espresso martini is the best I've ever had) and became our new best friend, and all of the other staff was incredibly attentive and made the experience feel all the more crafted. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Athens, but especially to those who wouldn't normally splurge like this- it's worth it, I promise. Even when the menu changes as the seasons do, I have no doubt everything will be amazing. Look forward to seeing them get a Michelin star!

Beautiful restaurant, very atmospheric courtyard. Wines were delicious, as was the food. Points for only having Greek wines. Had the six course vegetarian menu with wines. Each and every dish was delicious and I would argue would satisfy even meat eaters. Additional cheese course was equally nice, but was in hindsight almost too much food. But only almost.

We had the earth and sea. The food is amazing. All have interesting combination of taste and texture. Multiple layers of taste give a extraordinary experience. Definitely the best restaurant in Athens. The taste of music is also very impressive. The service is also great as the waitress noticed that I am lactose intolerant and offer to change the dessert made of cheese. I would like to visit again next time in Athens.

Possibly one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. We got the tasting menus with the wine pairings. I had the vegetarian option. Every single dish was perfect. Each wine we tried was delicious. The service ran like a well-oiled machine and everyone was professional and kind. So happy we came here.

Aleria was an exquisite experience during my last night in Athens. The garden and nature vegan menu was creative and flavorful - a delicate mix of summery notes. The feta - watermelon with wasabi foam and baby arugula, a playful twist on caprese was memorable along with a smoky beetroot. Earth and sea was equally impressive - herbal and fruit essences were well infused with the meat and seafood plates. Meatball Ω3 - what seemed like a local spin on classic steak tartare with touches of ouzo and yogurt was a highlight of this menu. Truly an exception to the fine dining norm to have a vegan menu of the same caliber as the standard menu - a testament to the effort given by this fine chef. Service was wonderful, both sommelier and waitstaff highly knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings. And beautiful outdoor garden and decor in an unexpected neighborhood. Deserving of Michelin star.

We tried the 6 course earth and sea tasting menu and liked the food but the wine pairing was lackluster. Didn't love the cocktail we ordered either (the rum old fashioned was too sweet).

Nestled in the heart of Athens, Aleria is a testament to both modernity and tradition. Its elegantly designed interior marries contemporary aesthetics with nods to Greek heritage, providing an inviting ambience. The menu is a delightful dance of classic Greek flavors reimagined with a modern twist. Each dish, from the intricate appetizers to the succulent mains, is a celebration of fresh ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. The staff exude genuine warmth, ensuring every diner feels cherished. A visit to Aleria is not just about food; it's about experiencing the evolving tapestry of Greek cuisine at its finest.

Excellent experience. The place, the food and the service are all of top level. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, upper class but friendly at the same time and everything is in place to deliver the ultimate enjoyable tasting experience. The layout, lighting and decoration of the space ρlay an important role in keeping you 'concentrated' and let yourself taste the well thought dishes that come in the 'correct' pace. Very hard to find any flaws, so, Aleria is an experience to looking forward to.

Truly top end meal. We ate during our stay in Athens and was outstanding. The setting in the courtyard was fantastic, food incredible and I had the all greek premium wine pairing which was stunning. My wife is coeliac (gluten free) and ate completely safely - it was no trouble at all for them to tailor the menu for her and they even had their own gluten free bread baked in-house (which was delicious). We both ate well and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Also felt it was great value for money Vs what we’d expect to pay for equivalent at home in London. Five stars!

An exceptionally good gastronomic experience. Attentive, professional, most importantly kind staff. The wines paired beautifully. I genuinely felt this experience made my stay in Greece. Thank you.

We sat at the indoor area at the garden and it was beautiful. The food was one of the best we had and service was personable. We also really enjoyed their playlist. A highly recommended place to visit in Athens!

While my experience at Aleria Restaurant was predominantly enjoyable, I was left somewhat disheartened by a couple of mishaps. The food was great. It was appetizing and delightful. The ambiance was fairly pleasant. But the seating arrangement was rather closely packed. One major downside was the proficiency of the staff with the drinks menu. When I asked about their selection of Voreia, I was served with a different bottle than I confirmed via picture of what I wanted. Not off to a great start. The cocktail guy also wasn’t too knowledgeable. He provided inaccurate information, but still served me the drink instead of asking if it was okay first. Additionally, I found their on-site magician a rather distracting element of my dining experience. While this might cater to some guests' tastes, I would have preferred a more private and tranquil setting. So the food at Aleria made a positive impression. But the restaurant could improve upon the staff's beverage knowledge, the spacing of the seating arrangements, and considering the diverse preferences of guests when it comes to entertainment.

One of the best meals in experiences I've had in my life. We chose to sit on the patio/garden area. We were so lucky to have Niko as our server. He really made our experience amazing!! I cannot say enough about his knowledge, his caring, his kindness and his hospitality. He truly went out of his way to make our experience incredible. We did one vegetarian and one meat tasting menu with one wine pairing and the meal was incredible.. The sommelier Nico (#2😁) helped us with the wine pairings extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. Management/host was incredible as well. He were the went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Everyone was so kind, professional, knowledgeable and passionate!! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!!!

The best food, service, and overall dining experience I had in Greece. Shockingly reasonable prices as well.

Amazing place. Went for the full menu on the gastronomy month for 75€. Very value for money experience. No dish brought to us was bad, all were 8.5 and above/10.

Good food and superb services! Tasty menu for Earth & Sea. Special compliments to Ravioli, lamb and dessert. Paired wine goes just right with the meal, except for the one for dessert which is a little bit too sweet for me personally. Would definitely come back next time in Athens and recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining for dinner.

We ate here our first night in Greece and did the tasting experience. The place is absolutely beautiful and the service is amazing! You should be dressed “nice casual” (slacks, collar shirt, no gym/jogger type clothes) for this place and no children under 10 allowed. We selected the 5 course meal with wine pairings. They allow you to mix and match from both the meat and vegetarian menus. Wow, wow, wow the flavor profiles of each dish was spot on! I highly recommend the sea bass, pumpkin mousse, and pistachio dessert.

Upon first impressions, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, we sat in the garden which is by far the best spot to be sat. We were welcomed nicely and offered water upon sitting down. It did take time for us to get a menu, and when looking at the menu the food does look good, the prices for the 6 course tasting menu was 85 and the Atlas wine pairing was 105 extra. Unfortunately the sommelier spoke so quietly we could barely hear about the wines. The first wine was a very sweet wine to go with our amuse Bouche. It wasn’t fantastic, but we liked how the flavours progressed through the 3. The first course was lovely, a mackerel dish, presented beautifully, and the taste was brilliant, along with the bread that used a 5 year yeast it was lovely. However, from there we were not blown away at all, the wine pairings for some of the dishes were very wrong to a point the dish was so strong you could even taste the wine given to you which was a shame for such a price paid. By the middle of the menu, we were disappointed. For the price paid the food did not meet what we’d expect. The service became slower with dishes sitting in front of us finished for quite some time, and our water not refilled which is the least you’d expect from such a restaurant. The servers were all very polite, describing the dishes well also. So I can give them credit on that, this review really is all about the food. It’s unfortunate, as the place is beautiful however it is not somewhere I would dine again.

Amazing service and incredible food. We had excellent recommendations for wine from the sommelier! Make sure to request a table in the outdoor garden!

Best meal of our 3 week trip to Europe (and we ate at 2 Michelin restaurants). Food was amazing, service exceptional and wine pairings are beyond thoughtful and worth the price. Will come back here every time in Athens and will recommend to all.

Great experience at Michelin starred restaurant. Complimentary starter. Overall .. food very tasty. Wish the portion sizes were slightly bigger, I would reccomend 6 course meal for sure for portions. Wish the fish had crispy skin but the flavours were great. Dessert was stand out dish. Very good. Mocktails were very tasty. Service impeccable. Nikos was personable and friendly. Great table. Interesting French vibe.

Can I give this place 6 stars? Ambiance, service, food / they don’t miss a beat. We had the 5 course tasting menu and while the portions aren’t huge, we were stuffed when we finished! Will definitely come back when we return to Athens.

From being warmly welcomed at the door to being served in their amazing garden (if you can, sitting in the garden is a must!) this was a very enjoyable experience! I was also really appreciative that they accommodated my vegan girlfriend by adapting their vegetarian tasting menu to make it fully vegan - which she loved! I had the Earth & Sea menu with wine pairing (both did) and it was magic!

One of the best tasting menu experiences we have had. The food was to die for, the wine pairing was thoughtful, and the price point for the thought and care that went into the menu and execution was fantastic. It will be awhile before we have another meal this special.

Amazing dinner, creative dishes and attentive staff. Pretty accomodating for food allergies. Great for a special occasion. Wine pairing had slightly small pours, other than that its a 10/10.

Aleria was the culinary highlight of our Athens visit. If you are after top Greek food and wine experience, individual service and elegant setting Aleria is your place. Unlike other top rated restaurants ( e.g. pretentious mass focused Michelin Start Varoulko) , Aleria is a place of understated class, professionalism, commitment and serenity. And excellent value for money. The ambiente is contemporary chic and spotlessly clean putting emphasis on what it is all about: the food. The waiters and sommelier are fully fluent in English and knowledgeable to explain every course and wine pairing in detail. The courses are small to allow full enjoyment from start to the end. The idea to focus on two sampling menus (non vegetarian and vegetarian, consisting of up to 6 courses) is the key to the overall success. It allows the Chef to focus on fresh ingredients and to create a flawless and delicious sequence of amuse bouche, starters, fish/seafood, meat and dessert courses. Each of these is accompanied by suiting (and often surprising) Greek wines - we strongly recommend to opt for the wine pairing option to discover excellent wines you may not have known. All in all: congratulations to the Chef and to the the staff. May their success endure.

Wow, where do I start? Dining at Aleria was a perfect experience from start to finish! First of all, you escape the hustle and bustle of Athens and step into the most charming garden. You feel completely comfortable and isolated from the noise and chaos of the city. Then you're welcomed by the friendliest and most attentive waiting staff. Finally, you have your test buds sent to heaven by the most delightful six course meal you'll ever have! Seriously, the lamb was the epitome of cooked to perfection. Oh, and let's not forget the stellar wine recommendation. Literally, the best food and wine we've had in Greece. The most attentive and personal service. Thank you Aleria for providing us with the perfect dinner. We can't wait to be back!

Over all a great gastronomic experience! Avoid to eat all the bread they bring you and don't drink to much water! Decoration is very ugly.

Such a fun experience! The food was so good and very affordable for the experience. All wait staff was kind and added to the experience.

Beyond and above our expectations. Top league Michelin type restaurant

Most beautiful old house courtyard in Greece with the friendliest very knowledgeable attentive staff and a tasting menu made for Gods. Bravo!

This restaurant deserves 10 stars! Fabulous all around. Between the friendly and attentive service and wonderful food that was reasonably priced, we had an amazing night. We will definitely be back next time we are in Athens.

Amazing experience from every point of view . Very exceptional Gourmet tasting menu. A huge variety of wines local and from around the world . Excellent service and very comfortable atmosphere. Worth all what you pay for . Ambiance is okay, chairs were not that comfortable and not matching the concept , that's the only thing the restaurant miss!

Wow. A truly fabulous tasting menu with great wine pairings, all for a very reasonable price. How this place doesn’t have a star yet is nuts. You have to book the tasting menu if you are in Athens. We had the earth and sea menu (ie non veg) and it was all delicious. Each course just got better and better. Highlight for me was maybe the cod due to the incredible flavour combinations. Book now - you won’t regret it.

Very nice food and atmosphere! Recommend the vegetarian option

I had a dinner that left me with a smile. I think I was the only one asking for a spoon to enjoy all the beautiful flavors of the sauces! It is absolutely worth to go there! Price and product are absolutely fantastic! The little garden gives a lot of atmosphere! You see me speechless! The chef and the team really achied to make me happy.

Outstanding experience at Aleria. First of all, the restaurant is beautiful and well designed. The staff was very friendly from beginning to end, even going so far as to walk us outside to ensure we found the taxi they called for us. The food was outstanding. We opted for different menus and all took the wine pairings. Each course and pairing was well thought out and paired superbly with Greek wines. I think the only suggestion might be to have a bit more explanation of the wines and why they were selected. With that said, each selection was outstanding and complimented the dishes very well. Aleria is a full evening out and compares favorably with many of the Michelin starred restaurants I have eaten at. Highly recommend a night at Aleria!

Great quality restaurant. Wine pairing was perfect.

Friendly staff, great food, nice location in an unexpected neighbourhood. Definetely to recommend.

Hands down the best meal we have ever had in Athens! The staff was amazing and the food couldn’t be beat! Best lamb I’ve ever had in my life!

fantastic meal, we had both kinds (one vegetarian) with wine pairings. also great old fashioned cocktail - major kudos to the bar tender

Excellent menu dégustation with wine pairing. Service was very professional. Great value for money for a gastronomic experience.

Amazing meal. I had the 6-course tasting menu with wine pairing. Beautifully executed. Personal favorite is the pumpkin puree with truffle and the cod. The service and ambiance are also nice. Some of the dishes are a bit salty to my taste but overall, the meal was really great.
