A hidden rooftop gem in Athens! I absolutely loved The Botany Roof Garden — easily one of the coziest rooftops I’ve been to, with the best view of the Acropolis. What made it extra special wasn’t just the breathtaking setting, but the warm and attentive service that made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — but what really stood out was the intimate atmosphere. It felt relaxed, personal, and inviting… the kind of place you want to stay for hours. To top it all off, they brought us a traditional Greek after-meal drink on the house — a lovely touch that made the whole experience feel even more authentic and thoughtful. Superb all around. Can’t wait to return.

About the restaurant

Greeks tend to associate pleasures with homemade food, quality wine and good company. Heirs of the richest gastronomy they always search for a special hangout that combines the intimate atmosphere of home with mama's kitchen aromas. When Mr. George and his wife Maria decided after more than 50 years of experience in cooking and restaurant business to create "Gods' Restaurant" they couldn't have not respected these principles. At the family - owned "Gods' Restaurant" you will feel right at home with rustic and hospitable atmosphere. Mrs. Maria and their two sons along with the executive chef create authentic recipes from all over Greece, like grape leaves, the famous lamb "kleftiko", cheese pie with honey & Greek kebab “Sheftalia”. There are also some unique dishes which you can hardly find elsewhere, such as ravioli stuffed with beef & spices with red pepper & yoghurt-mint sauce, slow-cooked goat with pappardelle pasta, Cretan macaroni "skioufichta" and the caramelized octopus

About the restaurant

Kosmikon is one of the oldest restaurants in the area of Plaka in Athens underneath of the Acropolis. The building has been constructed around the year 1850.

The main aim was to respect the history of the building. The decoration on the inside is in harmony with the imposing power of the building, leaving it with the delicate architectonic elements that dominate, creating an atmosphere of a chic local restaurant.
