Garum Athens — Restaurant in Athens

There are meals that impress — and there are meals that quietly redefine your understanding of flavor.

Garum belongs firmly to the latter category.

This is not simply a restaurant; it is a culinary philosophy distilled into dishes that pay reverence to an ancient ingredient — garum, the fermented fish sauce of antiquity — reborn here through modern craftsmanship and almost obsessive precision.

Everything on the menu is made from scratch, every element studied and refined.

The entire tasting sequence revolves around different interpretations of their own garum, matured for nearly four months under perfectly controlled conditions.

Each course becomes a dialogue between depth and delicacy — where umami is not shouted, but whispered with conviction.

The cooking technique throughout is remarkable: clean, confident, and exacting.

Flavors carry clarity and restraint, the seasoning is intelligent, and the balance between acidity, salinity, and fat is handled with rare discipline.

If there is one note for the future, it is that the next menu could benefit from moments of heightened intensity — small peaks of power — without sacrificing the remarkable equilibrium that defines Garum today.

In a city increasingly confident in its culinary identity, Garum stands out as one of the most thoughtful and quietly ambitious kitchens.

New favourite place in town. We visited on our anniversary. The warmest environment, minimal with super kind staff. Christos and Themis have created a gem within the heart of culinary capital. The dumplings, the dim sam, the bao, crispy pork and the sticky rice rizogalo with mango are my personal favourites. Christos Glossidis and the team have ingeniously come up with possibly the yummiest Greek take on Asian dishes. Godspeed from...
