This places Makris Athens among the most remarkable dining destinations in Europe
After braving a series of crises, Athens has been enjoying a resurgence as one of Europe’s favourite year-round city breaks, thanks to a new wave of creative energy and buzzy art scene. Life here also continues to be built around the simple pleasures of eating and sharing food, with its diverse restaurants bringing an exciting edge to the comforts of Greek-style cooking.
In the heart of Athens’ old city, within a historic building across from the Ancient Agora, is Makris Athens by Domes, a one-starred restaurant newly minted by the Michelin Guide. Such recognition comes from a dedication to excellence, sustainability and the promotion of Greek gastronomy on an international level, placing it among the most remarkable dining destinations, not only in Greece but all throughout Europe.
In the hands of chef-patron Petros Dimas, Makris Athens offers an experience that marries the essence of Greek flavours with an innovative approach to cooking, combining the richness of local ingredients with boundary-pushing techniques. Pairing its ancient charm with refined modernity, the stage is set for an unforgettable journey of tradition and innovation.
At its heart is a deep connection to nature, embodied in its organic farm at the foothills of ancient Corinth. From vegetables to edible flowers, most of its harvested produce are grown sustainably, feeding a farm-to-table approach that not only informs the creative process but at the same time, offers an immersive, slow-living experience. Together with Dimas, guests may join in harvesting ingredients and cooking over a wood fire, making every visit to Makris Athens a unique and personal one.
