Don’t get me wrong the restaurant is excellent with tasty creative food, nice ambience, good service and nice music. However the experience was marred by some bizarre operational procedure that denied us the opportunity to stay longer and spend more money there.
We arrived at 6.15pm for dinner without a reservation. We were told the restaurant only opens at 7pm and we can only have drinks at the bar now. So we went to stroll around the town and return at 7pm, only to be told that they were fully booked. After some haggling the lady at the front told us there is a table reserved for 8.30 so if we can vacate by 8.25 she can seat us. We accepted as we are small eaters as long as they do not take too long to serve our food we can finish in 80 mins. We ordered only 2 mains to share and a bottle of wine and finished at 8.15 pm. We enjoyed the food, wine and ambience. As we were leaving we noticed that they serve food at the bar. So we asked the lady why did she not offer us that option. She said because when we arrived at 7pm the bar was closed until 7.30pm for cleaning. She could have offered us drinks at the table at 7pm then moved us to the bar for our dinner at 7.30, then we could have ordered more food and drinks and stay longer.

Best restaurant I experienced while in Athens on my Honeymoon!!! We went in December and I was worried about being too cold, but they had heaters that worked a little too well ! Everything was delicious, but the gyros Iberico made my tastebuds dance with the explosion of flavors!! The gyros were superb!!! The Cacio e Pepe with truffle was so satisfying. They also had a wonderful fresh squeezed homemade lemonade that my husband loved! The chicken lemon oregano was also a hit! Don’t skip dessert! We devoured ours!!!! The decor elevated this dinner for me and the bathroom was immaculate!!!!

Our last night in Athens was met with the most peaceful and elegant dinner. Service and food were amazing and my cappuccino with Orgeat was impeccable. Cacio e Pepe was great and the steak cooked to perfection. The most beautiful bathrooms as well and all decorated for Christmas.

A festive dinner with the team that went well! With a huge schnitzel, a ribeye, a caccio e Pepe and more… it was the perfect place for this season. Chef Panagiotis Flakas has extensive experience in Michelin restaurants like Fat Duck & Funky Gourmet and service is top-notch (thanks Marios!!!)

The food was so good!! We walked into a very pleasing atmosphere, flowers and clouds! The service was impeccable. We asked to move due to someone smoking a cigar and they moved us immediately. The Gyro Iberico, hummus, pasta, salad and chicken were the highlights. The staff was welcoming and we are excited to go again once we return to Athens.

I went to this restaurant because it was highly rated, and since I was only in Athens for 72 hours, I wanted to give it a try. I’m used to dining at some of the best restaurants in major cities around the world—London, New York, Paris, Dubai, Saint-Tropez, and Mykonos—so I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype.
First, let’s talk about the food. It’s good, even very good—I have nothing negative to say about the quality itself. However, when you compare the cuisine with the prices, that’s where the issue lies. For what you pay, you expect something truly outstanding. Taken on its own, the food is enjoyable, but the portions are extremely small—almost like something you’d serve to a 14-year-old. For example, the Greek salad costs €24, with a production cost of maybe €2. Personally, I find that price excessive.
Then comes the service, which I found to be quite poor. I waited 33 minutes for a simple pasta dish with two small pieces of fish. When the waiter tried to tell me it had been “less than 20 minutes,” I showed him the stopwatch I had running—it was clearly over 30.
Finally, the biggest downside for me was the music. It was unbearably loud, making it impossible to have a proper conversation. It felt more like being in a nightclub than in a fine dining restaurant.
So here’s my recommendation: if you’re going on a date and just want to impress someone, have a drink, or enjoy a small tasting plate, then it’s fine. But if you’re going alone like I did, with friends to talk, or to celebrate something, either be prepared to spend the evening without talking—or simply don’t go.
Overall, I’d give it a 12, maybe 13 out of 20 considering all of the above.

Very nice place. Overrated and prices are a bit high for the offerings. Not a great menu variety but very nice place for an intimate dinner. The live music and singer are definitely a big plus

We celebrated my birthday dinner at Geco and it was the perfect spot for a special occasion. The atmosphere is elegant but not pretentious, with live music adding a beautiful ambiance to the evening. Every dish we tried was exceptional—from the octopus and beef tartare to the seafood lollipops and lamb. The service was attentive and thoughtful. As a surprise, they brought out a birthday profiterole dessert that was dreamy and indulgent. Geco gave us one of our most memorable meals in Greece. A must if you’re looking for a special night out in Athens.
