Decided to splash out for the last night of our trip and this was definitely a great fun choice. Really something different that we wouldn't normally eat. Loved making my pesto pasta - who says you're not meant to play with your food! Service was good, perhaps just a bit over enthusiastic as the food came out slightly too fast,... More

Everything that has been written about Funky Gourmet is all true - and more! The overall experience was worth what we paid for our dinner given this was a relatively expensive place to dine. The creativity in presentation, the impeccable attention to detail, the incredible taste of each dish, and the marvelous service - they all add to that uniquely... More

The Funky Gourmet might have a strange name but it takes the modern dining tend of mini degustration menus (we had 13 courses) to a new level. The food is fun but very sophisticated, and the meal is the centre of the conversation. Try the wine pairing, it is innovative and also fun, albei with serious wines. This place does... More

This restaurant is a true gem! Last time we were here we had had a late lunch so we couldnt really order the full menu and we tried the smaller 10-11 dish menu which was excellent. But we kept seeing the dishes not included in our menu at the other tables and we really wanted to try them. So when... More

So, it's not every day that Mrs. Fries_with_Ketchup and myself splurge and decide to spend all of our pennies in one place. But in reality folks, this was the smartest idea we've had in a long time. The Funky Gourmet in Athens is what I like to call "A Gastronomical Laboratory"! Hands down best food in Athens!! Awesome place, phenomenal... More

I visited Funky Gourmet with 3 friends on a Wednesday night. I had seen pictures of the restaurant and of the dishes, but nothing can prepare you for the real experience. From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you feel like you have entered into a very warm and welcoming home. When we were taken upstairs to the restaurant,... More

This is not only one of the top 5 restaurants I have ever eaten at but by far the most creative. Service is exemplary and the presentation of the food is very clever and innovative. Will definitely eat here if we ever return to Athens.

We decided to try the new Michelin star restaurant and managed to get the last table that night ( after they had politely explained that it was near the stairs and if we didn't mind...) Having dined in many Michelin restaurants all over the world, there was something about their website that told us to go, stairs or not. Luckily... More

We wanted to try something special in Athens except its great cuisine and we searched in Tripadvisor for a gourmet restaurant. We found Funky Gourmet and the Michelin star that they have tells it all!! Amazing quality food with great presentation. Even if it is a bit expensive you must visit and try their cuisine. My wife loved it!!
