GB Roof Garden

Latest News - Business Meetings Breakfast by International Herald Tribune Kathimerini
 
Bask in unsurpassed views of the Acropolis, Syntagma Square and the ancient wonders of Athens from your perch atop our airy rooftop restaurant and bar. An inspired Mediterranean menu matches the unique locale with choices as remarkable as the vistas.
 
Unlike any other setting in Athens, the GB Roof Garden invites you to soak in the views of some of the most important treasure troves in history. As you settle into the brightly coloured pillows scattered on each chair and banquette, the vibrant scene unfolds before you. Take in the sun setting behind the Acropolis or turn towards the awe-inspiring sight of the Kalimarmaro Stadium—the first stadium to host the Olympic Games. Regardless of what captures your attention, the magic of our rooftop garden will leave a glorious impression.
 
Open year-round for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the GB Rooftop Garden is not to be missed for at least one delectable meal. As the sun rises in the morning, the extravagant American Breakfast Buffet indulges your every whim. Choose from a selection of cold and hot dishes, fresh pastries from the hotel’s bakery, fresh-squeezed juices and a wide selection of teas and fresh-brewed coffee. 

Enjoy the cooling breeze as you sit down to a delightful Mediterranean lunch. Under a deep blue sky, consider such choices as the beef carpaccio à la plancha with beetroot salad and mango vinaigrette appetizer, followed by the risotto fumé with smoked mozzarella and lemon. The duo chocolate and coconut "black forest" cake satisfies the most ardent sweet tooth with panache.

At night, the glittering cityscape provides a dazzling backdrop for such superb dishes as duck breast with smoked potato puree and sautéed snow peas with hazelnut oil.

Among the seafood specialties, the white grouper fillet in crust of bread and prosciutto with spinach and salad sauté strikes a high note. For dessert, the crispy phyllo with ricotta, cherry compote and vanilla ice cream blends sweetness with acidity perfectly. The classical tiramisu with mascarpone and espresso also enjoys a loyal following.
