Cafe At Acropolis Museum

The food at this restaurant was quite disappointing, but the stunning view made up for it. I was surprised when the staff poured me still water without asking and then charged me for it. When I brought it up, they just laughed it off and said that's how things are done here. The service was quick, but it would have been nice if they had asked before serving the water.

The restaurant has created a unique atmosphere with a well-designed layout, spacious seating, and informative historical notes. I highly recommend visiting the Acropolis first with a guide to fully appreciate the context of the experience.

The service at the restaurant was terrible. The staff showed no interest in serving customers properly. The head waiter appeared polite, but in Greek, he insulted the foreigners. They also ignored the pigeons eating leftover food on the tables. There is no reason to return and have my mood ruined again.

The food is quite expensive and very average, and the portion is small. The spaghetti with minced meat and fresh tomatoes looks rather sad for 13.5 Euros. To be honest it looks more like the kind of pasta you get on a plane or school canteen. The view at the restaurant is very nice and the service is not bad and we got water refilled. Although we had to ask to get table salt and pepper.

The view on the Acropolis is great and the dinner at a Friday or Saturday night is amazing together with the live piano performance. In our case, the staff was really attentive, even though not all menu items were available. They could offer more gluten-free deserts. Of course you pay about 2.5x compared to a “normal” dinner, but it is a nicer experience so I think it is worth it.
