Papillon Bistrot Athens in Athens

Had a great time, drinks were clean, the christmas decor blending with fhe lights from outside made it a great evening. When it comes to (fingerfood though, I would expect more from a place that is in the proximity of establishments like Gaspar and Ombra. Anyway a step up from the old "portes" bar. Have to say was invited and didnt pay, so have no VfM view.

Brunch was really tasty and prices are very good. The breakfast is served until 1PM, so you can easily have a late morning here.Staff was also very friendly.

Quality wine!!!! Very good service!!!

Nice, cosy, central and in general an average choice that might turn to better

Very nice location for an early afternoon coffee

Great place one of the best coffees in Athens and good service.

One of the best coffees in Athens. Breakfast is also amazing.

Poor menu choices and coffee either wasnt fresh or bad quality. Tablecloth was used and not changed.

Nice atmosphere inside HOWEVER.All items are very overpriced. Bruschetta dish at 13 euro was made with basic supermarket ingredients. Cheese board had four basic super market cheeses at small quantities. Bread and dip at 3 euro came with 3 tiny pieces of pre-made bread and they forgot the dip. Glass of vivlia chora at 8 euro is more than the average price and the glass it was served in was smaller than average.

Decent brunch, coffee somewhat expensive. They are strict with timelines, so they wont let you have juice or smoothie after 19:00, even if it is 19:02.

Used to be a great bistrot for professional or casual meetings... How on earth did you think of turning this delicate meeting point into a bar with low-quality Greek folk music? This makes it lose all its elegance, dont you get it?If people wanted to listen to this kind of music, and dance after 22.00 "tsifteteli", we would be going to Empati North. Are you in your right mind??? You have an exquisite menu, an elegant ambience, luxury service and changing this concept into such low point? Unbelievable.

Great place, especially if you are a smoker ( Im not)

Great vibes, and great food! The few whom are complaining about the prices don’t seem to understand that this is a fancy and high class bistro, so that is to be expected…? I had a lovely experience. Highly recommend, will be visiting again for sure.

first of all let me start by saying that i’m not one for the fancy restaurants, yet i found this place amazing! i went there knowing that it was gonna be pricey and it was totally worth it. the atmosphere was very chill, the food was more than great (the steak was perfectly cooked to my tasteand i also got a perfect wine recommendation!100% recommend!

Pricey!! Nice place and food, good service. Super cocktails! The atmosphere and decoration is fantastic, if it wasn’t so terrible expensive it would deserve absolutely 5 stars!

Nice atmospheric for brunch and in between meetings refreshments. Quality - quite good. Slightly oversized. Friendly staff

Nicely looked after place with a good menu and fast service.

Overpriced, service is like they do a favour to you while they are ultra uneducated in their own profession, none of the real psychiko residents hangs out there. A place for superficial people to falsely believe they are important. Went there only because it was the only place open on January first. Do a favour to yourself and never go there.

Very very expensive... however the atmosphere, the food, the cocktails and especially the music deserve 5 stars... Excellent Dj

Excellent place, I really liked the interior, it has a really nice touch. The place is expensive, and most probably you will need a reservation. Around 50 euro plus per person with wine, but totally deserve it. On the huge plus is that you can order glasses of wine for their wine list which is not the case in Greece. While most restaurants has like 3-4 options for glasses of wine (and most of the times not the best ones), here you have a wide selection. They loose one star, because after 10 there was live, and then this place turned into a dancing bar, and the covid distancing measures were non existent (maybe for some this is a plus). Totally recommend it

Terribly overpriced, the chef cant even cook eggs benedict correctly. Waste of money. Smoothie wasnt half bad.

Food is okey. I felt being too close to other people so that’s minus one star. It’s worth it overall.

A bit crowded on the outside area but very nice coffee, cocktails and brunch

If you like people watching, overpriced drinks and bad service...ok. Very lounge Lizard live music...but the restaurant was packed...food is good, but no soul, rushed atmosphere, a place to be seen. But not again.

Very nice music, songs and atmosphere. Tasty food, however small portions for the cost charged.

Average food in very high prices and service that has some questionable attitude...Among 2 other mediocre dishes, we ordered a 25 euro truffle risotto that was really bad. Seriously undercooked and completely tasteless. When we gently mentioned the above to the staff, they took the dish to the kitchen and after trying it the manager came back saying that it is a perfect risotto and it tastes like a good risotto should taste. Wow! Not only that, but they didnt bother removing the dish from the total that we paid.

Stomennano Chianti ClassicoStomennano (Chianti Classico)The 2017 Stomennano Chianti Classico is a red wine made by Stomennano from Chianti Classico that contains colorino, canaiolo and sangiovese of 2017 and shows an alcoholic strength of 13%. At Drinks&Co, this red wine scores an average rate of 4 of 5 points.

Its one of those retro-vintage but at the same time modern places where you can have coffee brunch or even cheese and charcuterie platters. I would say its more fancy than I would prefer but still it depends on everyones taste.

Beautiful decoration,great wine list. There was a live singer on Tuesday with a great voice.

People are very rude,with a very bad attitude and racist. I tried to have a cup of coffee there twice. I am a hijabi woman and they treated me awfully. Definitely not a nice atmosphere. Do not support places like that.

Quite a nice place!Lovely decor!Lofty ceilings!Drinkable coffee!

They have a great egg menu, if you want something breakfasty, in the afternoon! Their drink called PURPLE MAGIC was the best. It is full of berries and tastes amazing. It is a bit more pricy to any other greek cafes but its got their posh-ness and we really liked it when we went here couple of times!

If brunch is your thing, then yes, yes, yes! I believe this is the best place in Athens for brunch or breakfast.The food is extremely fresh and tasty. Had the scrambled eggs with somked salmon and toast and I immediately fell in love with this place. The service was equally amazing. Will return here on my next visit.

Very nice bistro, remeniscent of central european similar ones. Nice decoration, beautiful second room with glass roof. Nice coffee, excellent sandwiches! Very friendly, polite and knowledgable staff!

Α very cosy bistro with great food options and super drinks.

Very good service, nice place but alittle bit noisy

Tasty food, good service, highly overpriced, posh

Excellent service, top notch menu

Excellent service in a pleasant environment with beautiful food (looking at it and tasting it...).Recommended for a romantic dinner out or a group of friends. There is also a bar on the front half of the restaurant.Whoever remembers, this venue used to be known as “portes” years back but now fully refurbished and changed.

Amazing atmosphere! The service is excellent. You will definitely enjoy your time there! Highly recommended!!

Very friendly staff and attentive to our requests. Interested to know how we liked the cocktails and food (amazing food by the way). A bit expensive but it’s the prices in the neighbourhood...

My all day favorite place! Friendly environment & the best quality in every aspect. :)

It would have been perfect had they respected the anti-smoking law .Its suffocating in there and you cant enjoy anything...Plus, they dont issue receipts and I am not supporting tax evading business...

I like the atrium space. I had the best procciutto brioche. Must try!

A cafe to see and to be seen. Perhaps not a warm standard meeting place for me. Very popular with the well heeled middle aged of the Paychiko residents.

“Slowest service ever!!! Not recommended”Slowest service ever!!! We had to ask three or four times for the same thing! Maybe they need to hire more staff, we also had to “beg” in order to have the bill and pay for it!!! Very unprofessional!!! Not recommended

Excellent ambience, decor and...eggs!

Beautiful place, with nice food and ambience. Will give them more stars once they start issuing proper receipts and stop tax evading, gaining VAT from their consumers. Seems the big investment in deco is not balancing their finances...

Perfect place! Classy and distinguished!

Nice place, nice finger food, good service.
