About Zinglee

Zinglee sits at 2 Tsakalof, right on the buzz of Kolonaki Square, in a warm room of amber glass panels, leather banquettes and timber tables. It comes from the founders of Nice-n-Easy Hospitality, and executive chef Christos Athanasiadis cooks a creative Greek and Mediterranean menu built on products from around the country. Brunch runs from 9am: poached eggs with Corfu butter sauce and smoked pork on brioche, kagianas with feta, and fluffy pancakes with Cretan anthotyro and thyme honey. Later the bistro moves to cocktails, and DJs take over at night. Our advice: come for a late-morning brunch on the square and you’ll see Kolonaki at its most sociable.
