Don’t listen to the locals—this place is a hidden treasure! We were this close to canceling our reservation after hearing lukewarm comments from our Athens tour guide, cab driver, and even our hotel. I’m so glad we didn’t. Maybe they’re trying to keep this gem to themselves? From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive. The wine list wasn’t impressive (and I love wine), but our server went above and beyond. After chatting about my preferences, he candidly warned me I wouldn’t enjoy the house wine—and then returned with a bottle not even listed. Turns out he’d completed two rounds of WSET certification just for fun. That level of care and honesty? Priceless. The food? Classic, delicious Greek fare. But the real showstopper is the view. Honestly, they could serve cardboard and people would still come for the scenery. Thankfully, the food holds its own. Our teens—my son and niece—ended the night sharing fried sardines with a local they befriended at another table. And the best moment? Our server thanked us for being so warm and kind to the staff. In my 47 years, I’ve never had a server say that. Major kudos to our teens for making that kind of impression. So if a local shrugs off this place, ignore it. It’s...
Read moreAgora Riviera is a very good looking restaurant, with very attentive service (maybe even too pampering), targeted to an high-level type of customer. The menu is also huge, with a lot of different choices. However. The service is nothing if the food is not exceptional, and unfortunately for us it was very hit or miss. Greek salad, grilled haloumi, fried feta with honey were all great and tasty surprises! On the other hand, fish roe were waaay too salty, white grouper was nearly tasteless (it's a 26 € dish!), octopus was overcooked and coupled with a strange choice of sauce, and shrimps were just... bad. On a good note, we were offered a mastika with maraschino cherry, which I appreciated. In the end we spent 45 € each, with is a lot when eating in Greece, for a meal that for many of us felt unsatisfying. It didn't help that we ordered two 40 € bottles of wine without being told about the price; maybe it was a misunderstanting, but still. Overall, the location is great and several dishes were really good, but for such an high-targeted restaurant I cannot forgive so many missteps on so many dishes. If the menu is too huge for the cooks to handle, better size it down and ensure that everyhing can be delivered with top...
Read moreFantastic seafood restaurant right on the riviera .
We had a reservation (which is highly recommended) and when we arrived we were greeted and our table was the first one right with a view of the beautiful nightly lit up riviera in the distance . Amazing ambience!
Service was attentive with multiple servers looking after our every need .
The food was excellent! I wish I knew about this place sooner as I have been coming to the south suburbs for years .
We ordered an array of plates to try including : Marinated fish with capers and sapphire Fava spread Smoked eggplants spread Mussels in garlic wine broth Seafood risotto Grilled sardines Zucchini matchsticks and aioli House wine few liters
Everything was just so freshly made and portions were large that added to the whole experience
Writing this review I am already getting nostalgic and hungry to go back !
Do not miss this great restaurant...
