The food showed a lot of enthusiasm leaning toward Noma and other star restaurants. Some amazing dishes. I travel frequently and tend to look for star restaurants where I can. The staff were pleasant and attentive. We had a couple join late and it was no issue to serve them a small selection from the menu. Some great signature dishes... More

Awesome experience in a Michelin starred restaurant. Molecularly dissolved tavern dishes and picnic food. Squared peas and aromatized spheres. Barbecue at your table on a hot piece of rock bedded on rosemary. Smoked icecream. Orange peel scented giant shrimp with liquid nitrogen. You get to play a lot with your food. It is entertaining and enchanting to feed yourself on... More

it is one of Athen's best dinning destinations. Molecular gastronomy transforms traditional Greek dishes into an amazing experience! Have the degustasion menu in order to get the whole picture. Deco is great, service is excellent, located in a quite place downtown. It is not a cheap place to be, but for me it worths every cent.. Among others... frozen Galaktoboureko... More

One of the best meals in my life. You can tell that a lot of creativity was done in creating this meal. Food was exceptional. Staff was very attentive and the restaurant was top notch. To add to this Funky Gourmet has one of the best playlists I've ever heard. Mind sharing this with me? From the moment that the... More

A very special restaurant in a very downgraded area of Athens. A unique experience well worth the visit and the price! Congratulations to the Chefs for their original dishes! Excellent service and atmosphere.

we have eaten in the Fat Duck when it was voted the 'best 'in the world. we have not eaten in the more recently voted Spanish 'best' - 'gimmicky' restaurants if you like. We chose the menu according to how long it will take to eat. We were told 1.5 hours, the alternative was over 2 hours.The menu included a... More

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
