I am Greek, I have to say that this is the best restaurant i have ever eaten..it is in the top 5 of gourmet restaurants according to annual prizes of "chrissi skoufi"..of course it is expensive for the greek capacity but about 90 per person for an extra gourmet restaurant is worth it.. more

While the fish was very fresh and creatively presented, we found the dining experience left much to be desired and felt taken at the end of the meal. We've been fortunate to be able to dine at outstanding and very expensive restaurants all over the world and were left scratching our heads at how Varoulko could possibly have received any... more

For me it was great to discover all these new constellations of sea food on my plate. I enjoyed every bite, as not only everything looked great but was also very tastefull. Good quality dishes. Fresh and tasty. Maybe overpriced though. more

Good seafood, well presented, albeit with a rather supercilious introduction from the waiter. Smallish portions, and little follow up. (For example, if asked we would have considered cognac or other after-dinner drink, which instead we had upon our return to the hotel.) Certainly not unpleasant, but not what we would have expected for what was reputed to be the best... more

I went to this restaurant in June 09 as per the reviews here. But seriously, it is nothing to shout about. The food is just alright. Maybe i have much higher expections from a restaurant with 1 Michelin star. Unfortunately I just wasnt impressed. more

We were told this is the best restaurant in Greece. So, food lovers that we are of course we had to try it. We went there during lunch but they are open only during dinner. You made our reservation and returned that night. We had 3 appetizers and the sea bass for our main course. The appetizers alone filled us... more

I was fortunate to be in Athens recently and went to Varoulko based on recommendations I'd read from various sources. And I wasn't disappointed. From the moment you step in the front door and are greeted by a charming hostess who confirms your reservation, the service is impeccable and understated. The roof top terrace is reached via a lift, where... more

I had a pleasure to eat at Varoulko yesterday, 3 September. The weather was fine, the table overlooked Acropolis – everything was set up for a nice evening with excellent sea food. But, the aftertaste was bitter, and not because of the espresso (which was good), but because of details which make the difference between a Greek place and a... more
