Bel Ray — Restaurant in Athens

If you're looking for a cozy spot to hang out, it’s just the place! It's located just about 300m away from Syggrou-Fix station, in a youthful neighborhood with a great vibe on the weekends and a relaxed atmosphere during the week. The coffee and soft drink selections are plentiful, and the menu has something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of savory brunch plates (and soups) or sweet treats, you're sure to find something you love. And don't forget to try the cake of the day - it's always a delightful surprise! We tried the cheesecake and the carrot cake (Cake of the day) with some cold brews at your place, and it was amazing! The cakes were absolutely delicious. However, we were hoping that the coldbrews would be a little less watery, but the flavor was still fine. Perfect combo for a Saturday...

came here a few times as it’s convenient, food was decent but so so stingy on the portion sizes. the owner must be a greedy anomaly.

absurd prices for just the “presentation”. coffee one of the most expensive you will get in athens, tastes alright. the outdoor seating areas smell of sewage.

pretentious vibe from staff & policies that i really hope doesn’t become the norm for the athens’ cafe scene, it’s what makes athens UNIQUE & this cafe’s focus on “in and out” customer base is bs that completely ruins the athenian cafe culture vibe.

they asked me to leave because i had been there for 2 hours with a laptop?? at midday on a thursday?! never in my life have i heard of such a policy from a half empty cafe, as if its some upmarket restaurant in Paris… luckily theres no shortage of cafes 100x...

The brunch is great, used to be better but still good. The people who serve are polite and easy going. The coffee is great.

I used to be a frequent visitor, usually twice a week for a breakfast and to work a bit outside the office. For some reason they now have these ridiculous practices like no laptop is allowed. And that’s on a Monday morning at 9am with only a couple of tables seated. This is by far the most weird, probably illegal thing to ask a paying customer.

To the owners: Maybe next time ask the servers go over people who use their phones to make sure they are not emailing or doing anything productive cause surely it’s the same thing as a laptop only on smaller screen. Only TikTok and Insta...
