Dining & Bars

Overlooking Syntagma Square, Plaza Café brings you closer to the movement of Athens. From early coffee to late evening drinks, it is a space that evolves throughout the day. 

Fresh pastries, light meals, cocktails, and a wide selection of coffees and teas create a setting that feels both relaxed and alive. 

Whether for a brief pause or a longer moment, this is where the city meets you.

Set within a space inspired by a classic club atmosphere, Explorer’s Bar Bistro invites you to slow down. Wooden textures, leather seating, and soft lighting create a sense of intimacy and ease.  The menu is refined yet approachable, shaped by contemporary Mediterranean influences and complemented by a curated wine selection. Desserts and cocktails complete the experience, extending the evening into something unhurried. 

It is a place where conversations deepen and time softens.

Located on the mezzanine level, The Parliament Restaurant looks out toward the movement of Stadiou Street and the refined calm of Voukourestiou.  Mornings begin with a rich breakfast experience, combining international selections with authentic Greek choices. Fresh pastries, natural juices, warm dishes, and local flavours come together in a setting defined by soft light and understated sophistication. 

This is not simply breakfast. It is the first moment of the day, shaped with care.
