Set menu was a journey through Greek cuisine and I loved it.
Drinks pairing was great and the last few rounds the drinks hit me too good.
Staff guided me to 🚾 and made sure I was take care off because of the drinks pairing 😂 they had called my taxi as well.
The staff explained each dish and the process took 2 hours. 5/5
Smaller space so reservations are necessary
Food, Service, Knowledge and Hospitality are great, a really interesting experience, great flavours, techniques and very creative.
The restaurant in elegant and stylish, the arrival is cool, the walk to the restaurant creates a bit of surprise if you haven’t googled or seen any pictures of the place. Food is well elaborate and the wine selection is good and not overwhelming.
Worth a visit.
My only negative comment are the toilets, a place of this level, you expect something a bit more high end.
One of the finest! A Michelin awarded restaurant with a great wine selection. Although it has already 2 stars the atmosphere is very warming as well as the stuff and there is no strict dress code. The area around is a bit spooky so I would highly advise to drive there and use the valet parking or get a cab and be dropped off right outside. As far as I know it’s relocating soon. You can’t just walk in, there is a door bell and the hostess lets you in. Of course you need a reso.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Best experience in michelin starred, so far.
Each of the dishes comes with a story/scenario, Very impressive, super well done FG!
Go for the wine pairing meal, it's totally worth it!
Worth mentioning: Find the Truffle, Picnic and the Chios Beer, Sea-urchin pasta, Silence of the Lamb (Brain).
Would I return: ABSOLUTELY, The taste and experience is worth returning to.
To all who follow me, the amount of words that you can incorporate in a review are limited by Google for no apparent reason. The review I wrote on tripadvisor catches the heart and soul of this fabulous restaurant. I'm sorry that Google won't allow the entire review to be posted.
What I will say is that FUNKY GOURMET is well deserving of the 2 Michelin stars it has earned, and far and away it probably in my humble estimation is the best restaurant in Greece
