The restaurants of Athens that have been awarded a Michelin star for 2024 have been announced.
The Michelin Guide inspectors revealed their personal experiences as anonymous tasters, so that people from every corner of the globe can discover the best gastronomic proposals in Athens.
The Delta restaurant at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC), run by George Papazacharias and Thanos Feskos, retained its two stars, plus a special Green star, for distinguished sustainability practices.

Also, the famous list of Athenian restaurants with a Michelin award was included in “Makris Athens“.
Typically, the Michelin Guide states the following:
“Opposite the ruins of the Agora, the epicentre of political, commercial and social activity in Ancient Athens, this restaurant is housed in a building full of history.
The interior design seeks to immerse guests in fascinating local history with a glass floor that reveals ancient artefacts beneath the ground while the chef, Petros Dimas, pushes the boundaries of culinary creation to showcase the country’s rich culinary heritage.
The ingredients come from the chef’s farm, located just 45 minutes from the restaurant, which enhances the quality of the dishes that adorn his menu: Genesis, Utopia and Physis Vegan”.
The Michelin Guide’s list of Michelin restaurant accolades also included Cerdo Negro 1985, Fine Mess Smokehouse, Jerár, Nolan, Akra and Pharaoh, which fall into the “Bib Gourmand” category, which refers to good value for money.
In addition to the restaurants awarded with Michelin Stars, Green Stars and Bib Gourmands, the inspectors were impressed by four restaurants that – thanks to the high standard of their cuisine – deservedly earned a place in the selection.
With “Dolli’s”, “Esthiō”, “Gallina” and “Ovio”, the number of recommended restaurants in Athens for 2024 increased to 18.
