Hytra moved to the seventh-floor rooftop of the Onassis Cultural Centre on Syngrou in 2010 and held a Michelin star throughout, currently chef Tasos Mantis. The summer terrace looks south over the Athens-to-Faliro axis (the Acropolis to the north on a clear night, the Saronic Gulf to the south on most), the winter dining room is glass-walled and quiet. The menu reads contemporary-Greek, fish-led, raw-marinated vegetables, dolma technique pushed past the cousin meze grammar, and the wine list leans heavily on Greek estates. Cultural-context dining: book before a Stegi concert downstairs, or come for the dinner-only run when the institution is closed.

Editor's Tip

Summer terrace from May through September, request when booking. Lift access via the Onassis Stegi main entrance, then concierge to the seventh floor. Pair the dinner with a Stegi performance to use the building twice.
