Best Restaurants Open on Monday in Athens 2026

Spondi has held two Michelin stars since 2002, the longest unbroken run in Greece, and it serves every night including Monday from 7:30pm to 1am. The room sits in a restored Pangrati townhouse with a bougainvillea-draped courtyard, and the cooking is classical French built on Greek produce. Order the tasting menu and take the wine pairing from one of the country's deepest cellars. It is the Monday pick for a serious, dressed-up dinner, and because it is the rare two-star room open on a Monday, it books out, so reserve well ahead.

The GB Roof Garden crowns the Hotel Grande Bretagne on Syntagma Square with the most famous restaurant view in Athens: the Acropolis lit up across the rooftops. It runs a long Monday service, 1pm to 2am, covering lunch through a late dinner, and is MICHELIN Guide listed. Order the refined Greek-Mediterranean classics and time dinner for sunset, when the Parthenon lights come on. It is the Monday pick for a celebration or a first night in the city that needs the postcard view, so reserve through the hotel and ask specifically for an Acropolis-facing table, which is the whole point.

Tudor Hall sits on the seventh floor of the King George hotel beside the Grande Bretagne, a neoclassical room with a terrace that frames the Acropolis from the other side of Syntagma. It opens Monday from 6pm to 2am, with the kitchen running to around 11:15pm, and is MICHELIN Guide listed. Order the contemporary Greek plates and book the terrace rather than the indoor dining room. It is the Monday alternative to the GB Roof Garden for the same view at a quieter address, and the columned room makes it feel formal even mid-week. Reserve a terrace table ahead, because they are the first to go.

Vezene is chef Aris Vezenes's wood-fired steak and seafood room, a contemporary Greek kitchen that draws a loyal crowd and runs every night including Monday from 6pm to 11:30pm. It is MICHELIN Guide listed and built around aged meat and a charcoal grill, with the cheapest steak around 30 euros and the bigger aged cuts well beyond. Order a dry-aged steak, the bone marrow and a tomahawk to share. It is the Monday pick for a meat-led dinner with a confident wine list, and because it fills nightly with regulars, a reservation is required rather than optional.

Matsuhisa Athens brings Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian menu to the Four Seasons Astir Palace on the Vouliagmeni coast, a half-hour south of the centre. It opens Monday from 7:30pm to 12:30am, set above the Aegean with the sea where the Acropolis would otherwise be. Order the black cod with miso, the yellowtail jalapeno and the sashimi, the signatures that travel with the brand. It is the Monday pick for a diner who wants a polished, known menu and a seaside setting rather than central Athens, so reserve through the hotel and allow time for the taxi out and back.

Nolan is chef Sotiris Kontizas's Greek-Asian room near Syntagma, a Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen that crosses Greek ingredients with Japanese and wider Asian technique. It runs both Monday lunch and dinner, 1pm to 5:30pm and 7pm to 11:30pm, which makes it the flexible, well-priced option on this list. Order broadly from the small plates, the dumplings and the noodles. It is the Monday pick for a relaxed, modern meal without a fine-dining bill, and the room is small enough that it books out even early in the week, so reserve ahead rather than chancing a walk-in.
