In the heart of Athens, nestled within the neoclassical building of the Benaki Museum on Koumbari Street, the museum’s restaurant stands out as a unique culinary destination where art, flavor, and aesthetics converge in an atmosphere of refined elegance.
Curated by the renowned Dipnosofistirion, the restaurant has reopened its doors, more welcoming and revitalized than ever, offering a high-quality experience from morning to late at night.
Its spacious terrace, with panoramic views of the National Garden, the Parliament, Mount Lycabettus and the Acropolis, is an ideal setting for moments of relaxation and enjoyment away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether it’s a morning coffee and brunch or a gourmet dinner under the starlit Athenian sky, Benaki Museum restaurant exudes timeless charm and authentic Athenian hospitality.
The menu blends Greek culinary tradition with a modern twist. The signature dishes of Dipnosofistirion remain ever-present, delighting even the most discerning palates.
This culinary journey is elevated by a sophisticated wine list curated by internationally acclaimed sommelier Aris Sklavenitis, featuring selections from both Greek and international vineyards. Meanwhile, the avant-garde cocktails created by celebrated mixologist Aris Chatziantoniou bring new life and color to Athens’ evening scene, combining creativity and balance in every sip.
Special mention must be made of the collaboration with the Akrithakis Archive, which brings the spirit of 1970s–1990s Berlin to modern-day Athens through the legacy of the iconic art-restaurant of Fofi Akrithaki.
As the first museum restaurant in Greece, the Benaki Museum restaurant continues to lead the way—welcoming every guest into a world where culture and gastronomy coexist in perfect harmony.
