Spondi

Spondi Overview

Located in the heart of the Pagrati district of Athens in a charming, largely residential neo-classical neighborhood. A visit here gives you a look at a different Athens which you might not otherwise encounter during your frenetic visit to the capital. The atmosphere is welcoming, with artful lighting and an indoor-outdoor ambiance, but definitely sophisticated and soothing.

Well-known restaurant, elegantly designed from reclaimed bricks in the style of a vaulted cellar; wine cave and courtyard garden to one side. Skilled chef uses top quality produce to create imaginative, deftly executed and stunningly presented modern dishes.

Elegance, exquisiteness and authenticity. These are the main words to explain the atmosphere and philosophy of Spondi. Created by Mr Apostolos Trastelis in 1996, the address is now a reference in Athens, even all other Greece. Because here we prepare only fresh product, the menu change following the seasons and the inspiration of the star chef Arnaud Bignon.

Trained in the kitchen of Drouant, Alain Ducasse Restaurant at Poincarre or at the Bristol, he is mixing with talent creativity and tradition, modernity with classic French cuisine, perfect presentation with exotical flavours. All this with a perfect and smiling service, in sober and stylish surrounding, reflecting the staff and the spirit of the place – 2 Michelin star – Member of “Relais & Chateaux”.
