Wine is fine

Wine Is Fine, tucked away on Vissis Street in Athens, is a gem you might stumble upon, but trust me, it’s worth the detour. Don’t be surprised by the line outside. It’s not just because they don’t take reservations; people are willing to wait for a reason. The vibe is pure 70s chic, with a cool, laid-back atmosphere that somehow feels both stylish and cozy. It’s the kind of place that attracts everyone—from the casual wine sipper to the trendy date-night couple. The outdoor seating on a quiet side street adds a romantic, relaxed feel you won’t find in many spots around here. The wine list is solid, offering great selections without the pretentious price tag. The food? They claim French-inspired, but honestly, I got more of an Italian flair. Either way, it’s tasty and pairs perfectly with the wine. The staff knows their stuff—friendly, helpful, and quick to recommend the best wine and food pairings without making you feel like you’re being sold to. Prices are fair, especially for the quality you’re getting. It’s an ideal spot, no matter what time of day, whether you're grabbing a glass after work or enjoying a slow evening. One of the best places for a relaxed hangout in the heart of Athens.

This is a pleasant surprise that unfortunately doesn't hit all the marks. The service is very good and attentive. we visited when the place was a bit empty. it was just us and two more tables but soon after it got really crowded. The food that we ordered was very nice. The beef tartar needs a bit of work but the rest was great! The wine selection, while not huge offers, a few nice surprises from labels that might not ring bells to many guests since a lot of the famous labels were not provided. This is a nice place for casual dining and quality wine🙏

This little gem in the heart of Athens truly lives up to the buzz. It came highly recommended by a French friend and even got a shout-out in the Financial Times, both well-deserved! Wine takes center stage here: you pay a fixed price by the glass, choose the style you want, and they’ll pour what’s on offer that day. I couldn’t decide which I liked more, the white or the orange wine. We paired our wines with a cheese plate and two mains: a delicious lamb roll in anchovy sauce featuring fresh herbs and pomegranate, and a classic French boeuf bourguignon. For dessert, the soft pear tatin wrapped things up beautifully. The vibe matches the quality of the food and drink, with great music and a minimal yet cozy decor. If you’re into good wine and laid-back charm, put this spot at the top of your list.

We visited this restaurant in October 2024. When we arrived, the waiter abruptly refused to let us sit down for a moment to take a break and wait for our friend, despite several free tables inside. However, the staff was relatively polite later on. The menu is extremely limited, with only a few items. While my dish was very tasty, my friend was not satisfied with theirs. The prices are quite high for this type of restaurant. I would recommend it for a one-time visit, but there are much better Italian restaurants in Athens with more reasonable prices and better service.

I was in Athens for three days and visited Wine is Fine three times. I had this place on my list for a long time so expectations were high and it turned out even nicer than I imagined. As a person who doesn’t drink alcohol usually I don’t feel very welcome in wine bars, but here the staff was super friedly everytime, even when they were busy. I loved the contrast between their elegant, stylish interior and a fast - paced street, didn’t have a chance to try their food but menu seemed sexy af and I’ll surely come back

I love Wine is Fine. The whole vibe is perfect. It's a bustling place in a very cool part of Athens. The wine was amazing, the food was delicious, the service was excellent. It's a whole scene and I loved every aspect of it. I can't wait to go back.

"Wine is Fine" bistro in Monastiraki is a gem tucked away on a street that's the perfect mix of grunge and grace. Here everything is more than just fine. The natural wines are delightful, the food is delicious, and the service makes you feel special. The music, the vibe, and the hip crowd turn a simple meal into a fun outing. No need to book ahead—just walk in and enjoy a great spot in downtown Athens. It’s a true favorite.

🍷I was Beamed up to Paris ! Wine was more than fine. Service was more than fine. Food was more than fine. Vibe and music was awesome. Arguably the most ideally situated bistro in Athens, offering an extensive selection of wines complemented by a variety of bistro-style dishes. A true haunt. Hint: • No reservations. Just go and they will add you in the waiting list.
