L' Arrêt Du Temps- Η Παύση Του Χρόνου — Restaurant in Athens

Time slows as you enter. You may only be a foot from the sidewalk but you'll begin to unwind as you sip your tea. The tiny scone, tea biscuits will melt away your worries and prepare you stomach for a delightful gastronomic experience.

The assortment of tea drove me to try this place. But the question was, did they know how to do tea properly? Ah. Mostly yes. The only down side is the tea bag but it seems to be the unbleached kind. And it had not been steeping long before we received it. Seems they assume we know the proper steep time. For Summer Full Moon I'd say 3-4 mins is perfect but go with what your palate says is perfect. Medium sized leaf. Mostly light brown and a few green olive colored. Some stems. Going to guess it's a standard pluck. Perfect mix of white and green. Sweet with a very slight astringency. You can still see the fuzz on some leaves. Trichomes!

Fireside smells amazing. I can't taste it but my husband, who doesn't drink tea much, loved it. Got sweeter as it steeped longer. Slightly spicy. Tasted like it's ingredients.

Very nice side salad with the smoked salmon on a beautiful baguette. Light dressing but very tasteful. Smoked salmon is outstanding. The salmon melts in your mouth. And tye avacado mousse makes it greater. Pairs well with green tea.

Greek pasta is perfect. Great flavors mix in a marriage of amazing flavors.

Perhaps time slows too much through. As we sat there for quite awhile waiting for our tab. Do just flag them down if you...

A surprisingly amazing brunch! Wanting to get coffee and “something to eat”, we came across this amazing place! Coffee was decent but their brunch plates are top tier!!! We ordered 3 items from their brunch menu (croque madame, scrambled eggs and eggs Benedict) plus a couple croissants. The taste of every single dish was so good that we couldn’t put our cutlery down... Perfectly toasted bread, extraordinarily well cooked poached eggs and creamy scrambled eggs to die for... The portions were massive and the side salad (arugula with baby tomatoes and corn) complimented every dish as it should! Honorable mention to the fluffy freshly baked croissants that get like we were eating tiny clouds!

It’s an amazing place where food is treated with great care and everyone should try it at least once! Thanks L’arrêt du temps, you really stopped time...

I was taken to a vacant seat as soon as I entered but took 15 mins to get menu.. It looked busy but the waitless priotosed clearing other tables and chat with colleagues or texting. I was dismissed for long time then told the waitleas that I'm ready to order but she dismissed again and started attending other customers. Other people also commented service is slow but Is it simple RACISM or what? The waitleas speaks English very well and so do I. The coffee I've ordered arrived after 25mins WITH BILL. I visited this cafe to have lunch so asked her if she wants to take orders but she said "ah" and of course never comes back. It was extremely disappointing experience and sad to start a day with...
