About Gallina

A small, design-led restaurant a short walk from the Acropolis, where French and Nordic technique meets Greek and Mediterranean produce. Selected by the Michelin Guide. Only around 38 seats, so book ahead. Koukaki, just south of the Acropolis and Filopappou Hill, is a relaxed residential neighbourhood with good cafés and bistros on its pedestrian streets, a short walk from the Acropolis Museum. Athenians dine late, usually from 21:00, so book ahead for weekend dinners, especially at the best-known tables.
