How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Botrini's
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred address in Halandri, a northern suburb of Athens, Botrini's operates at the intersection of Greek tradition and Italian influence, shaped by the dual heritage of chef-owner Ettore Botrini. Two tasting menus trace a route between the Ionian coast and Tuscany, set inside a converted school with an open-view kitchen and a chef's table. The restaurant holds a Michelin star (2024) and ranks 227th on Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe list.
Delta
2 Michelin stars
Positioned among Athens' most decorated fine-dining addresses, Delta holds two Michelin stars and sits within the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center on Syngrou Avenue. Chef George Papazacharias leads a kitchen grounded in contemporary Greek cuisine with a documented commitment to sustainability, including an on-site vegetable garden. La Liste ranked it 86 points in 2026; Opinionated About Dining placed it 240th in Europe for 2025.
Hervé
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred counter restaurant in Metaxourgeio, Hervé operates on a single tasting menu that draws from French, Asian, and Italian influences under a French chef working in close collaboration with a tight three-partner team. The elegant kitchen counter and outdoor patio frame an experience built for evenings that warrant more than a standard reservation. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 PM, with entry managed via a digital code sent at booking.
Hytra
1 Michelin star
Hytra holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among Europe's top 300 restaurants, operating from a modern terrace address in central Athens. Chef George Felemegkas structures the menu around a plant-forward format called Think Green alongside a technically ambitious broader programme, making Hytra one of the more architecturally distinct kitchens in the city's fine-dining tier.
Makris Athens
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
At Makris Athens, the Aegean reveals its quiet grandeur through a refined lens, where pristine Greek ingredients are translated into thoughtful, contemporary compositions. The experience unfolds like a private recital—measured, poised, and deeply sensorial—within an atmosphere of sun-warmed stone, brushed brass, and twilight city views. Expect an elegant tasting journey anchored in seasonality and maritime purity, with harmonized wine pairings from Greece’s most expressive terroirs and service that anticipates your desires with discreet grace.
Patio
1 Michelin star
Patio holds a Michelin star within the garden courtyard of the Margi hotel in Vouliagmeni, a coastal enclave roughly thirty minutes south of central Athens. Nine terrace tables frame two tasting menus built around fish from the Saronic Gulf and produce from the chef's own farm. The format is small, deliberate, and grounded in modern Greek technique.
Pelagos
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Among Athens-region Michelin-starred restaurants, Pelagos at Four Seasons Astir Palace in Vouliagmeni sits in a distinct tier: Italian-born Chef Luca Piscazzi applies classical French technique to Aegean ingredients, earning a Michelin star in 2024. Three tasting menus run alongside à la carte, with a sea-view terrace that makes the 25-kilometre drive from central Athens a considered part of the evening's planning.
Soil Restaurant
1 Michelin star
Soil Restaurant occupies a neoclassical house in Athens' Pagrati neighbourhood, where Michelin-starred chef Tasos Mantis runs a single tasting menu built around his own kitchen garden. Ranked #399 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2024, Soil sits in the smaller tier of Athens fine dining that grounds its identity in land and season rather than imported luxury.
Spondi
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Spondi holds a Michelin star and a Les Grandes Tables du Monde designation in a city where fine dining has been quietly redefining itself for over a decade. Situated in the Pangrati neighbourhood, it blends French technique with Greek produce under chef Angelos Lantos.
The Zillers Rooftop Gastronomy
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant on Mitropoleos Street in central Athens, The Zillers Rooftop Gastronomy operates from the top of Zillers Boutique Hotel with direct sightlines to the Acropolis and the Greek Orthodox cathedral below. Evening-only service runs Tuesday through Sunday until 12:30 AM, with two tasting menus, Synecdoche and Synthesis, grounding contemporary technique in Greek culinary tradition.
