ChocoloverSeptember 2, 2017I had arugula strozzapreti with tomato sauce. I never had this kind of pasta before, quite liked it and would recommend it! Nice atmosphere and very friendly bar woman!
Michalis GkontasMarch 21, 2018I love Balthazar! Both food and cocktails are amazing. The summer garden it's like an oasis in the center of the city with a great atmosphere/vibes. Can't wait to go back!
Michael KonstantinidisMarch 26, 2018Probably the best combination of an exotic place, delicious dishes(i loved the flap chunk) and tasty cocktails. I was impressed by the gentle stuff, the pretty people around and the whole vibe.
Miltos GiannakopoulosMarch 27, 2018A must visit in Athens. Great food and desserts. The design of the actual place is also beautiful both inside (christmas time) and outside (summer time). Lastly, it's 10 minutes away from Kolonaki.
Christina StavridiMarch 27, 2018Beautiful garden. Kind&friendly staff. Definitely recommend the Tortellini Spinach pie - absolutely delicious. I also had the cocktail "endless san antartica" - one of the best cocktails I've tasted.
Great tastes both in cocktails and menu. A bit expensive though but at least it leaves u fully satisfied. It also has great garden but i personally prefer more the inside of the old villa in winter.
Karolos OrfanosApril 3, 2018If you have not visited Balthazar's garden you are missing for sure. Extraordinary food, cocktails and of course service. Personal favorites the Beef tagliata and their caipiroska cocktail.
Paraskevi CharatsariApril 5, 2019If you want a great dinner ,you don’t have to miss this place ! Outstanding building in the center of Athens ! You have the opportunity to choose a dish between a big variety of their food menu ! 👏- Lydia GERAKAKIApril 18, 2018You enter a magical garden of a neoclassical building at the center of Athens. I loved the delicious food, the beautifully created cocktails combined with the delightful atmosphere and good service.
Celia ParelliMarch 27, 2018Amazing building with a great vibe! The food was delicious and the staff really friendly. Try the “Define Fantastic” cocktail, you won’t regret it!
Samer MansourSeptember 22, 2018Been going there for ten years now , the setting always charming (outside garden and inside neoclassical decor ). Food , cocktails and service never disappoint. An all time favorite of many Athenians.- Alex PitsilisApril 14, 2018Just a great atmosphere that immediately makes you forget that you're in a city.

- Iraklis PatsialosJuly 10, 2019Great bar restaurant in a neoclassical building, with a beautiful garden in the backyard. A hidden oasis in the hot athenian summer. Incredible service. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Evina DiamOctober 3, 2020A thousand times yes! The food is remarkable... Salmon fillet, shrimp with avocado and salmon tartare are definitely the highlights. For desserts, cinnamon tart is a dessert made in heaven! Well done!
Marilia LezouMarch 26, 2018Great food, amazing atmosphere, great for dates, super fancy garden in the summer with top notch cocktails

- George KoskinasApril 23, 2019Amazing place, delicious food and very friendly staff! Excellent for a night out in Athens!
Angelica ZografouJuly 13, 2015A "paradise" in the center of Athens, BUT with a "gate"/entrance of unpleasant and extremely impolite behavior that checks and rejects the potential clients without any reasonable justification.
Ilias BogdanosApril 18, 2019Amazing vibe and a garden to remember. The food is amazing, the staff is so friendly and please, do yourself a favor and try the cocktails!
E.Nur ŞenNovember 5, 2019It was crowded even at midweek. For food, it is better to check the photos in it’s Instagram account.My favourite is ‘strip loin with potato cream, spinach puree, and “saltimbocca sauce” from Mani’.
Kwstadinos PapasotiriouMarch 27, 2018Great place, great atmosphere and great cocktails. The perfect place to be
Kostas StaverisSeptember 13, 2016Exceptional cocktails combined in a nice atmosphere, greetings to Goerge for the nice job !
Alexandros PlexidasNovember 17, 2018Very nice interior space, stands out from anything around that area. Had high expectations from the food but, even if it was more than decent, was not impressed neither with creativity nor with taste
Sina FergadiotiApril 18, 2019amazing food . incredible tastes ,but really expensive. the ambiance is cozy and the decor very modern.- George ErotidisNovember 12, 2018Elegant bar restaurant ideal for a night out with friends. Excellent music, refreshing cocktails and nice sushi dishes.
Alex AlexandridisApril 25, 2018The number one place to go. A combination of amazing food and desserts with a huge selection of cocktails. A warm atmosphere with a great vibe, in a paradise garden found in the middle of Athens.
Taylor MollSeptember 23, 2018A restaurant, bar, and club. The sushi was lovely and fresh, though a bit bland. Doesn’t get busy until after 9. The bar/cub portion was not my cup of tea, but appeared very vibrant
Aurora IncardonaSeptember 25, 2015Salmon is The King, any Dish you'll take with it, you'll enjoy it!
I like its garden and the atmosphere. Good crowd. Service has attitude. Most of all 👌🏻 the building. Location 6/10, wifi 7/10, service 4/10, quality 8/10
El Greco Jakob Instagram @coach.jakobSeptember 10, 2023Location is great. Food it’s awful not eatable. maybe I’m very selective and healthy eater. environment good. Music low can’t hear it cause neighbours complain constantly. Place over all good I give 7
All time classic meeting point. Love it yesterday, today and tomorrow.
HarryMay 17, 2015Nicely decorated, pleasant garden/yard in a neoclassical building. Cocktails are OK, service is also fine, but it feels like it's stuck in 00'. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing...
Thodoris SaradopoulosApril 19, 2018The place to be! Amazing vibe, especially during summer time, accompanied with great food and some of the best cocktails I have tried. Definitely recommend trying it. You won't regret it!
Caterina StrAugust 12, 2015Staff was very nice. Food & cocktails too. Watch out for the 1st salad. It was charged 11 euros instead of 9!
