Eleas Gi - Eleas Gi

Cold place (really, we were freezing), badly organized in Valentine's night, filled with tables like it was a mass restaurant and not a luxury choice, with waiters running like crazy to keep everyone happy. They were very polite, but if we wanted such an experience, we would have chosen a common tavern instead. The food was supposedly gourmet, but ended up tasteless, poorly presented and most dishes (the hot ones) were cold. Crowded, and awful experience in general. Dear management, if you wish to have such prices, remember to start acting again as you used to be. As a luxury restaurant.

Very romantic restaurant. Very good food and fresh quality delicacies from traditional Greek cuisine and International plates. You may choose between two set menus one with 24 plates and one with 14. Ala Cart is also available. Very good and friendly service. Excellent price quality ratio. About 35 per person including wine (group of 4)

My husband and I travel and eat out a lot so we understand good taste and know about hospitable services. This is my review on the highly recommended Eleas GI in Greece ☹️ What a wow entrance to this highly rated restaurant but really the food and service is nothing to rave or write home about. With all these 5 star reviews I'm asking myself what did we miss. Initially the waiter was also frustrated leaving us with a negative feel. We really wanted to walk out. We multiply our currency by 16 to get to the cost of the Euro so this was infact a pricey experience that literally went down the loo. We waited for around 25 minutes after being seated to get any attention and it was water. About 20 minutes after that menus were presented and drink orders taken around 15 minutes later. Our staters was done and still no drinks. If you are a vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian don't even consider this restaurant. I was told that I was getting a whole grilled fish but was served with a piece that was infact oily and fried. Did not even eat it. My husband ordered a meat dish that he was so looking forward to but was told that it was finished. How does a restaurant that supposed to be so top rated run out of a popular dish?????? Even the dessert was 0,5 star and not recommended Got back to the hotel and both my husband and Threw up everything we ate.

Its just amazing ! Romantic, calm and chic place, Where "Everything" is a five stars experience : -The view -The place -The food -The service -The staff You need to have this experience if you go to Athens.

The food is really tasty and more than plentiful. Moreover, the view of Athens by the top of the hill is amazing.

Nice location and good views over Athens (which always looks prettier at night...), the restaurant also offers parking. Decided to go for dinner with a friend, we had no reservation. The restaurant was able to accommodate us nevertheless (and was admittedly somewhat busier than one would have expected on a rainy Monday night). We were politely greeted and shown to our table and were asked if we would need a "timologio" (this is an invoice so as to expense it to a company account for those not familiar with Greek "traditions"). We had the 14 course tasting menu and two bottles of wine. Off to the starters, not much to say here. Tasted 10 starters and cannot remember a single one of them. Neither good nor bad, just totally indifferent. Both me and my friend ordered a meat dish for the main course. When asked for the waiter's recommendation over the tagliata or picanha, the waiter suggested that we "try something different to what we might be used to eating" (!!) and that both dishes are similar and are highly recommended cooked up to medium and no more (oh, the irony!). He also recommended the rib eye as something we have probably not tasted before. This felt a bit "racist" for a moment (this is what happens if you speak Greek in a non-American accent) but then again we had forgotten our Rolexes at home, so no offense taken. Following from his "recommendation", and having tasted perfectly cooked ribeyes in the US before, we decided to go for the picanha and tagliata instead and asked for them to be cooked to medium wellness. The mains were really late for some reason, and all other tables around us seemed to have been served even though we had arrived the earliest. At some point, and after much deliberation, we decided to politely ask the waiter (just in case we had been accidentally forgotten) - as soon as we waved at him he came over and, without us having a chance to say a word, he muttered "yes, they're coming, they're coming". Well, something good must be happening in the kitchen, you would have thought. Alas, soon after we were presented with two steaks that were so overcooked that it was like chewing on a car's tire - what a disappointment after such a long wait (or was it the case that our food had actually been forgotten after all, but on the grill instead?!). Dessert was the best part of the menu. The drinks menu was yet another letdown. Ok-ish variety of Greek (only) wines but nothing special (for the price tags). A big foul was the pricing of single glasses: two 170ml glasses of dessert wine cost as much as the whole 700ml bottle (of course we had the whole bottle!) - that's quite a steep markup there sir! Totally pointless to comment any further on the "service" - suffice it to say that hospitality and politeness are clearly not their forte. Total bill amounted to 170 euros. Considering the tasting menu that 50gbp/person buys you in a place like Pachamama Mayfair for example (best Peruvian in London imho), for 50eur/person what you get here is not overly impressive, and definitely emphasizes the greek preference of quantity over quality and appearance over substance. Overall, the place is trying too hard to be something it is not, and can be fairly described as an overhyped (and overpriced) taverna - it has potential but definitely needs more work, and the overall experience leaves much to be desired. Might be ok if you are there on a "timologio", but would consider it twice if you were to spend after-tax $$$ on this... All in all, you can enjoy similar if not better views from elsewhere on Mt. Penteli, accompanied by a souvlaki of your choice if you fancy something actually better to eat. Donate the difference to a person in need instead, and you'll feel much happier and less of a sucker the morning after.

The view, the aesthetics, the food. All are a 5-star in the most beautiful restaurant you can find in the whole Metropolitan area of Athens. Service is nigh perfect, you will enjoy your time for a business break, a family evening or a romantic night. This place is known mostly for it's fixed menus. You can either get a 14-flavor menu, or a stunning 24-flavour menu. The latter is recommended mostly for 4-5 people while 14 is best for 2-3 people. You only choose between a dosen of main dishes and the rest is a journey of flavors in the Meditarranian. You can get good wine there, not something special though. You definitely need to book a tabke there at least 3 days prior because it is all booked! Especially in summer. You will reach the entrance by car and leave it to the vallets park it safely. Then you enter a very cozy and classy place to enjoy food, comoany and view equally. Not just highly recommend it, it's a must!

We spent our first dinner in Greece at this beautiful restaurant. The slow cooked lamb was amazing. Very delicious... Giannis (our waitor) was outstanding in helping us choose our dishes. Totally recommend for romantic dinner
