Vezené Athens

I’ve probably written again a review for Vezene throughout the years, but I had to do if again after my last meal. It still remains my favourite restaurant in Athens. Every single dish is excellent. I had one of the best fish dishes ever during my last visit. The service remains exceptional, as well as the atmosphere.

One of the best overall dining experiences of my life! I found this place by looking for a good steak in Athens. The reviews were good so I book a reservations. From the moment I entered the restaurant everything things started good and just got better. Ambience: The design is modern nature with lighting that accents the earth tones and naturalistic design. So when they say, “ come down in a garden” you definitely feel as in you have been set in a candle lit garden mixed with an umbrella elegant upscale restaurant! As the man out with a lady I am usually sitting in the chair as apposed to the bench, and of course these chair vary in comfort. At Vezene the chair was a solid wood frame with a leather fir. Leather cushion that made me want to order a set to take home. The bathroom was not only clean but design with every detail in mind. From the gap soap with a slight grit, to the small clothes to dry hands, and event the faucet was placed over a wooden slat sink that kept the natural design going. Service: The host, sommelier, server, server assistant, all were attentive and accommodating. We were recommended a wonderful small production semi-sweet muscat that was light fruit forward and delighted my guest. Our server went over recommendations and highlighted dishes that were staples and guest favorites. We followed her recommendation and were not disappointed by anything we tried. Plates and silverware were promptly reset for eat course. Wine and water was kept chill away from the table and refreshed as needed. Food: We tried at least 5 starters and a main dish, the core de beouef. My favorites were the pellet tomatoes with a roasted report dipping sauce and whipped cheese that was diving. And of course the Cote de beouf perfectly cooked medium sliced thin with roasted cauliflower, peppers, and garlic. Salted just so. For desert we have a dish that was moist chocolate cake with a ganaches, vanilla ice cream with winter spice, nuts. The combination of textures and layered flavors had my guest doing a little jig. Everyones taste are different so I will let the pictures speak to you. I can not recommend this restaurant enough!

Fantastic dinner in Athens! Fresh food served with a good balance between originality and tradition.

This place is so worth it. It’s on the pricy end, but very worth it if you’re in that kind of mood. The food is amazing. Every bite we took made us say “wow!” The service is great. They were welcoming and accommodating to any need we had. Would definitely come back here.

Vezene is a nice restaurant with some dishes that have not changed for the last 5 years. Slow cooked beef cheeks with orzo, beef tartar pastitsio and the family ice-cream are the reason to dine at Vezene once per year.

A great experience during Valentine’s evening. It had a great atmosphere, the staff was professional and very hospitable and the menu was exquisite! The wagyu steak was excellent and the shrimp frittas were incredible too. I would happily go back to have those dishes again, as well as explore the menu even further.

Amazing food and hospitality from Peter and his team. The beef cheek in the risotto melted in our mouths and the uni pasta made us swoon. Great drink recommendations too! So happy we came here on our short trip to Athens :)

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Vezené in Athens. The decoration is super charming. The staff is very welcoming and informative. The food was excellent from start to finish. The portions are not too big in particular for the appetizer. I cannot wait to try it again.
