The Root

The perfect spot for a perfect evening. One of the best places we‘ve visited in Athens. Great wine, great food, but the hospitality is out of this world and absolutely amazing. I would give six stars if that was possible.

We walked past this place, read the incredibly positive reviews, and decided to give it a try - and we ended up having such a great evening. Everything people say here is true: the wine selection and recommendations are outstanding, with a special focus on Greek wines - what a discovery! The food is also exceptional: refined, flavourful, and beautifully executed. But what really makes the experience special is Vangelis, who welcomes you so warmly and genuinely makes you feel at home. He turns dinner into a memorable evening. A place full of character that we’ll definitely come back to.

Lovely little wine bar with charming owner and some very interesting Greek wines

Very nice little bar, relaxed and quiet despite being so centrally located. We tried the soup of the day (mushroom soup) and mushroom tacos and they were all very good as was the wine!

Atmosphere and vibes were really nice. The menu is small with unique and creative dishes that seemed well curated by the chef, we really enjoyed the dishes and wine we ordered.

wide wine selection! great food pairing! extremely helpful service!

The best wine bar in the area, super-friendly owners, nice wine-matching food, and a rich wine list in reasonable prices.

Great wines and great food.I'm going to revisit the place again and again.

A great find whilst on walkabout. Just past multiple (generic?) very 'for tourists' restaurants, so a bit quieter. The guidance, advice and information about the wines was brilliant and added to the experience; it made one excited about what wines we tried. The food was lovely - especially the Salmon; cooked perfectly. I would certainly visit again when next in Athens.
