Jonah's Restaurant est 2014 — Restaurant in Athens

Straight into my top 10 places I've eaten, ever! Absolutely delicious food, simply cooked and presented with excellent service and a relaxing early evening ambience. Highly recommended. I had: T-bone steak with country potatoes. The steak was spot on medium rare with a deceptively light meat. I actually managed to eat the whole thing and even pulled the last meat off the bone with my teeth. A large chunk of cooked fat was left on and tasted gorgeous, melting in my mouth and complimenting the steak. Country potatoes turned out to be thick chips with skins on. They tasted like the very best roast potatoes you only get when they've been at least triple cooked in duck fat. Glorious. We ordered a simple Greek salad to fill out the sides and this came just before the main course and was as fresh and tasty as Greek salads in Greece always are. Johanna had 400g beef paties with the same country potatoes. The beef was tasty, well seasoned, succulent and perfectly cooked. I'd already asked the waiter about the cheesecake for afters and due to the main being so delicious yet light, I had a little room left so ordered one cherry cheesecake to share. Just before that came the waiter randomly gave us a small portion of chorizo and caramel sauce. That nearly finished us off and then the cheesecake arrived. Wow. Easily top 5 cheesecake I've ever had. Big simple dollop of black cherry on top of a lightly whipped cheesecake topping on a base of just crumbly enough and sweet enough biscuit base. After finishing that I was fit to burst but would of happily struggled to eat that desert again. I didn't. Liquor to finish, Joh had mine, and the bill. A very reasonable €110 including the tip. Next time you're in or passing through Athens seek out Jonah's, well worth the effort. Thanks to the chef and...

My family and I were on our vacation visiting Athens, and I asked our Hotel receptionist ( President Hotel Athens) if she could recommend a local restaurant. She mentioned Jonah's restaurant, and she explained to me where to go. We started our 10-minute walk to the place. We arrived at the restaurant and Kostantinos welcomed us to the restaurant. He sat us down and started asking what we would like, and we told him that it was our first time. He started offering us some bread with some butter with herbs, Mediterranean yogurt dip, (tzatziki), and some cherry tomatoes with olive oil. After that, he brought us some spring rolls with sweet chili sauce. We ordered our appetizers, which were Parmesan cheese balls, and Smoked salmon in bruschetta, both dishes were super delicious. Then we order our main course. My kid ordered the Beef Burger XL, my wife ordered the Tenderloin with chestnut and plums, and I have the Tagliatelle Gustose pasta. My brother ordered the Smoked Pork steak, and his wife had the Chicken breast filets on the grill with Quinoa. My cousin had the Potato Gnocchi, and his wife had the Fresh Salmon filet on the grill with Quinoa. Once we got our meals, I have to admit the presentation, the smell of freshness, and the taste were superb. It was Super delicious. After we were done with our meals, Kostantinos brought us a little shot glass with a Hazelnut drink with some whipped cream with cinnamon to settle our meals, which was Amazing. Now we were ready to request our checks, Kostantinos brought us some dessert, churros with dulce de leche, and let me tell you they were delicious. My family and I were pleased with everything it was an Amazing experience. If we visit Athens again we will go to Jonah's restaurant. I recommend this...

Jonah’s in Athens is not just a restaurant – it’s a place where you don’t just eat, you feel welcome. As a team from Migrafrica, with many years of experience in intercultural and professional cooking, we had the pleasure of dining here twice – and each visit left a lasting impression. From the perfectly grilled Tomahawk and T-bone steaks to the beautifully simple spaghetti with cherry tomatoes, every dish was crafted with love, precision, and respect for the ingredients.

But what truly sets Jonah’s apart is its hospitality. The service is warm, intuitive, and genuinely caring. Our special requests – like a side of garlic oil – were fulfilled with a smile. To our surprise, we were treated to complimentary desserts: homemade cheesecake and churros with caramel sauce, served not for attention, but out of pure kindness. This is a place where every guest feels special.

In a city where tourists are too often seen as mere income, Jonah’s revives the ancient Greek value of philoxenia – the sacred art of treating strangers as honored guests. You don’t just get a meal here; you receive respect, warmth, and a feeling of home.

We didn’t feel like customers – we felt like family. Jonah’s isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a place to connect, feel embraced, and leave with a full heart. Don’t miss it. Let yourself be welcomed, nourished, and moved. This is what hospitality is...
