Καφενείον Ακροπόλεως — Restaurant in Athens

Location is great, yes, could not be better. That is probably why owner thinks he does not have to try. Service is provided by non professionals, result depends on enthusiasm of the day by individual waiter, there is clearly no guidance from owner. We had to ask three times to have the water pond on our table wiped with a cloth. The bad news: quality of food mediocre (mince pie two days old/ reheated, cheese platter consisting of suspiciously small pieces of cheese (remainders of previous platters?), meat balls freshly made but only remotely reminding the traditional recipe -I am Greek, eating keftedakia for the last half a century). Cocktail: mojito easily the worst mojito I have ever had in 40 years, I was served a sweet (artificial) lemon juice with big ice cubes (not crushed ice), not a suspicion of lime, almost no alcohol in it, some strange green leaves floating on the surface. That was fraud. Wines (by the glass): all four white wine glasses came at ambient temperature (Greek summer!). We had to send back the first one (stale) and owner came to our table to reprimand us (I thought he was coming to apologise and offer alternative, instead he lectured us on his deep knowledge of the wine industry). The next three glasses were just ok in terms of quantity (125ml) and, as I said, at ambient temperature. The verdict: never again.

Great location and nice decor and being the 1st cafe after walk over from south side of Akropolis it gets traffic. Food and service is average and expensive. I wish I walked a bit further to try out the abundance of...
