We had the 14-course tasting menu and it was a real disappointment. First of all, the first 4 courses of the menu were not courses but amuse-bouche even though the restaurant calls them courses...really misleading.
I frequently go to 1 star michelin restaurants and I...have to admit that there was absolutely nothing special about this menu. The portions were very small and after a couple of courses (or amuse bouche rather), we were still feeling very hungry. The trick of this tasting menu is that in the middle of the menu, the waiter brought a massive piece of bread with butter and this was considered as a dish. Obvisouly, it made us full but bread, as far as I am aware, is not a course but a side...this was another misldeading course.
While the staff was friendly, the service was definitely too fast and at one point I ended up with 2 dishes on the table. This is really poor as we could not even take our time to enjoy our food.
Also, we have been asked to pay a waiter charge in the end while the menu clearly states that the waiter charge is included, rather frustrating to get this kind of ask. If the waiter charge is not included, then do not mention the opposite on the menu.
The michelin guide states "that this restaurant is worth the stop"...well, they should certainly reconsider their opinion as it was not a great experience at all. My conclusion is definitely not worth the stop...you can find much better restaurants in Athens with more affordable prices than Hytra.More
