Shopping, Quick Stops & Ice Cream
The brunch trend began in Athens around a decade ago and has been going strong ever since. By today, an impressively large variety of Athens’ restaurants and cafes have incorporated exciting, artfully made dishes inspired by the brunch tradition into their menus. Some of these places sought to meld brunch favorites with the richness of a more comprehensive meal, as brunchtime chats pour into the early afternoon hours, while others became iconic for their distinct dishes, often at appetizingly accessible prices.
Nowadays, numerous local haunts in Athens serve a wondrous range of brunch options throughout the week, from exquisite eggs Benedict and Greek cuisine-inspired dishes like kayana to delightful sweets and fluffy pastries that pair perfectly with top quality morning coffee. And whilst brunch spots can be found across the vast landscape of the Greek capital, from Voula to Kefalari and from Nea Filadelfeia to Zografou, the heart of brunch land beats most vibrantly in the city center. Here are the top tried-and-tested brunch spots in the capital not to miss.

A stone’s throw from the Monastiraki metro station this urban cafe with a contemporary European air serves one of the finest coffees you can taste in the city. Perhaps its greatest charm is its splendid inner courtyard, set within an arcade. The coffee variety here is vast, and to accompany your brew there are plenty of freshly made snacks. Think sublime cheesecake, fluffy cinnamon rolls, and those lemon and strawberry rolls that have half of Athens buzzing. Moreover, there’s a selection of health bars, chocolates, freshly squeezed juices, and eggs in various renditions: poached, in omelettes, kagianas (a tomatoey Greek scrambled eggs) and on avocado toast.

Indulge in expertly made coffee made from beans sourced from Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Brazil, and El Salvador. Alongside your coffee, try a sando (Japanese-stryle) sandwich made with fluffy white bread and delicious combinations of ingredients, like the egg sando with homemade coleslaw. When you’re especially hungry, try the pastrami sandwich on sourdough bread, layered with mustard, cucumber pickle, Gruyere cheese, and iceberg lettuce. The burgers are succulent too, and if you can’t tear yourself away, or are arriving later, try their well-mixed cocktails.

Wild Souls delights with its sidewalk cafe charm. It specializes in sugar-free and highly nutritious homemade nut butters – there’s no palm oil or preservatives in them either. Its breakfast menu is a hit because it is both healthy and delicious. Try the richly textured smoothies and the cashew butter bowl, with a blend of nut butter, fruits, and spices. The menu also includes gratifying vegan sandwiches and superb halva sweetened with honey, available in variations like cashew and hazelnut, perfect alongside coffee or tea.

Brunch at New Hotel has always been seen as a “must-try”. Its menu is dynamic, seasonally renewed, yet certain staples, like organic eggs and pancakes, remain perennial favorites. What’s the buzz about? You mustn’t miss their handmade pastries, freshly baked daily at the hotel’s bakery. The vibrant salads and generous open sandwiches are also worth a taste, especially the one with goat cheese. And, the desserts? They’re genuinely exceptional and served both at the lobby (New Taste) and the rooftop (Art Lounge), the later with sweeping views.

Merely a stone’s throw from the Thisseio train station, Minu elegantly blurs the lines between an all-day cafe-bar, a curated concept store, and a florist. Stepping into Minu is akin to taking a brief countryside sojourn without leaving the city’s rhythm. The sensation only deepens when you take a seat in the back garden, a serene escape from Athens’ urban hustle. Indoor spaces are also luxuriantly draped in lush greenery. Weekends at Minu buzz with activity, largely attributed to their commendable brunch offerings. Do indulge in the ‘egg bowl’, a delightful blend of poached eggs, avocado, and a hint of chilli flakes. Complement it with their tempting sweets, which pair impeccably with Minu’s outstanding coffee.

After a morning stroll through the Acropolis and Philopappos Hill, Morning Bar in Koukaki is the go-to for top-notch coffee and quick bites. The space, formerly occupied by the Greek streetwear brand ME THEN, now resides in the basement, allowing the cafe’s minimal design and large windows to fill the neighborhood with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Morning Bar bakes its own sourdough bread, used in its exquisite sandwiches. Must-tries include the English scones with cheddar and fresh onion, and the oven-baked egg brioche. Daily freshly made cinnamon rolls, cardamom buns, marble cake, French biscuits, and other treats are highlights, not to mention the irresistible burnt cheesecake, of which one slice is never enough.

This chic and easygoing brunch spot joint beckons with its heavenly sourdough bread and, notably, its flaky, crisp, airy croissants and pastries. It’s renowned for its flawlessly executed eggs Benedict, served with smoked salmon or prosciutto crudo. Regulars also swear by the Wagyu beef burger and the indulgent club sandwich with slow-cooked turkey fillet, fluffy and succulent scrambled eggs, San Daniele prosciutto, tomato, lettuce, avocado, and cheddar cheese.

Set within a restored neoclassical building (with accommodations) from the 1930s, this cafe bistro has a hint of Parisian allure, but also captures the essence of old-world Athens. Its interiors are elegant, with tastefully chosen furnishings with vintage undertones. Here, you can savor aromatic coffees and indulge in delectable brunch dishes presented in generously hearty portions. Try the uncommon trahanas dish, but also the burgers, bruschetta options, and open sandwiches. And naturally, no brunch is complete without pancakes. A must-try is the Greek-style pancakes drizzled with honey, sprinkled with feta and a dash of cinnamon – they are simply exquisite.

This all-day hangout with sleek lines and minimalistic design quietly awaits behind vast glass facades, inviting visitors into a contemporary and luminous haven. At Spook, the day begins early. On weekdays from 8 am and weekends from 9, both regulars and newcomers pause here for a takeout coffee and croissant or a cereal bar to kick-start their day. As the hours advance, linger awhile and delve into a delightful array of dishes that includes refreshing super bowls brimming with yoghurt and fruits, sandwiches layered with delectable cheeses and eggs, and a variety of tasty, health-conscious snacks. Spook is the place where you’d pop in after a reviving stroll with your dog, and where Sundays meld into leisurely brunches and hearty conversations.
