Cellier opened in 1938 on Kriezotou Street, then simply the Cellar, to serve the gourmets of its day with fine food and wines from Greek and foreign producers; its tasting rooms received figures such as Charles de Gaulle and Field Marshal Montgomery. The Syntagma shop remains the flagship of what is now a group of six in Attica, with more than 2,000 labels of Greek and international wine, spirits and delicatessen. In 1989 it founded the Cellier Wine Club, the first wine club in Greece. Come for a serious Greek bottle to take home, or an Assyrtiko for tonight. Our advice: tell the staff what you are eating and let them choose the Greek label.
