Birdman Japanese Bar + Grill

I’ve been to Birdman twice 6 months apart and each one was a true culinary experience. A friend had originally recommended this spot and after our first time, we could not wait to get back to Athens and visit this restaurant once again. Their version of fusion foods are exceptionally prepared and truly delicious. This time we invited our friends and we could not have enough of anything we tasted. We will surely be coming here the next time we visit Athens.

The restaurant was incredible, food, drinks and vibes. Amazing playlist today. The broccoli skewer was a really notable dish as it was incredible and I don’t necessarily love broccoli. I would highly recommend it to my friends to go there. I had a great time.

What an evening! We were greeted by vinyl soul music and lovely hosts. We enjoyed our evening at the bar in front of the busy grill. Perfectly executed food: we had a wide range of japanese skewers, fresh appetizers and nice cocktails and draught beer. Everything was exeptional. Service was lovely as well and always there, when we wanted to order. Perfect in every way! It gets really busy, so plan ahead and book a reservation! Definitely one of our highlights on our trip!

What a night! Great music, great food, great service, and if that weren't enough, great cocktails. I know there are many different restaurants and bars in Athens, but there's no other place where they all come together in one place.

Best Restaurant in all of Athens. Perfect Service, friendly waiters and amazing Chefs. You can Chat with them and they truly Tell you about their Passion for their Food. tasted absolutely amazing. Love the open kitchen.

One of the very best spots in Athens. The atmosphere, the people, the music, and the service are outstanding. The food is out of this world: yakitori, nigiri, katsu sando, tataki, tartar, and gyoza are perfection. Cocktails and sake are excellent, and the vibe is always great with top DJs. I come to Athens frequently, and this is the place I never miss. A true must-visit in the city. As a wine lover, my only wish would be for a larger wine list, since everything else is so thoughtfully curated. Special mention to Vasya, who is simply amazing—her warm welcome, professionalism, and ability to organize everything flawlessly make every visit exceptional. Eftechia, with her passion for wine, and Chris at the bar, with his energy and talent, also deserve recognition. And truly, the whole team makes Birdman such an organic, welcoming place where service and hospitality shine every time.

The food was delicious, the meat was especially well prepared. We tried the duck and the Wagyu squares, both excellent, and the sushi was also very good. Overall, the food quality was impressive. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, though the music was a little too loud for my taste. The staff were wonderful, always polite, attentive, and welcoming. The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is the pricing. Compared to other places I’ve eaten, I found it a bit too high for what you get. Still, it was a great experience and worth a visit.

Birdman Athens totally lived up to the hype! We tried the chicken nuggets, duck & wagyu beef gyoza, and kokoro yaki — everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Super cozy vibe, great service, and cool atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back. Check out the pics!
