CENTRALE ATHENS — Restaurant in Athens

We arrived to Athens early and waited for this place to open at 6am. Even though the lady was there from 5.30, at the opening time she was still drinking her coffee and only started moving things around. She came to our table after 15min. Even though there were sandwiches, pastries and many more in the menu, the only available food was toasts and yogurt. We ordered toasts with ‘chicken’, cheese and tomato. The lady said that the sandwiches should be in around 10mins, so I said I’ll wait for that. The toasts came after another 30min, with a pile of chips that no one mentioned. The chicken turned out to be a turkey ham. The experience was not a very funny joke for a 3.80€ (for a toast). The sandwiches never came, despite the fact we’ve sat there for 1,5h in total (nothing else was opened). There was another waiter that...

It gets twos stars because my Aunt said the salad was very good. For context, we ordered a drink at 17:20 and it still had not arrived by 17:51 so we...

Service was fine but the food was terrible. I’ve never had such bland, hard to swallow food in my life. I traveled across Europe for this entire month and this was by far the worst meal I’ve had. I could barely finish it but I was starving and it costed over 20€ (the portions were not worth this I could’ve gotten souvlaki for 3€ and been happier.) I had the risotto with chicken (maybe 3 cubes of chicken not a filet), very simple dish but I regretted ordering it. I tried to get dessert to help however the apple pie was some how worse. The vanilla gelato was...
