The Experience
From Michelin Guide
If the idea of having lunch or dinner on the elegant rooftop of a hotel, with piano music in the background and the eternal Acropolis as a backdrop sounds appealing, then Tudor Hall is definitely the place, especially for a romantic candlelit supper ā but make sure you book a table in advance. Here, on the 7th floor of the King George Hotel, next to the central Syntagma Square, chef Asterios Koustoudis (who is also executive chef of the adjacent Hotel Grande Bretagne, home to the GB Roof Garden restaurant) showcases his contemporary take on Greek cuisine that is built around a concise Ć la carte and one tasting menu. The end result is a superb mix of slick service, sommelier recommendations and meticulous cuisineĀ featuring delicious dishes that are surprisingly technical and pleasing on the eye. Make sure you try the superb cod.
