Breakfast at Neoma Hotel, Athens

The Best 10 Breakfast & Brunch Places in Athens

Posted on December 16, 2022December 16, 2022 by Kate

I was surprised to discover that Athens has changed a lot in the last couple of years. Looks like, the economic crisis has brought many new ideas to the young people. And the food culture experienced a great modernisation and since my last trip to Athens, it officially became my top food destination.

Actually breakfast and brunch concepts were not popular in Greece a few years ago, but now it has become a new trend for young and old. Nevertheless Greece is famous for it’s laid back lifestyle so there is no particular time for opening hours. It means most of the places serve breakfast and especially brunch, all day long! It’s ideal who is visiting Athens for holidays, no stress, you don’t have to wake up early!

Here you will find the 10 best breakfast and brunch places in Athens, all of them located in the centre or within walking distance. Let me know in the comments which one is your favourite!

1. Bel Rey

Bel Ray is one of the places that locals like to go for brunch. It’s situated in the wonderful neighbourhood, Koukaki. Interesting fact about this place, it used to be an old car garage, afterwards it was transformed into a trendy, chic snack & cafe-bar. The interior design is definitely Instagram-worthy but the beverages served by the excellent staff are even better. Huge breakfast-plates and of course vegan and vegetarian options available.

I need to admit, Dirty Manh was one of the best Greek street foods that I’ve ever tried! and not only in Athens! Nothing dirty about this sumptuous street food served at the counter or take away by the charming young owners. The Greek salad is beyond your taste buds’ imagination with the freshest ingredients and a fantastic dressing. The portions are also very generous. I’ve tried 3 different vegetarian options of pita and they were all so good! Being just 3 days in Athens, we ate there twice!
