VINTAGE holds over 1200 labels with 850 of them served by the glass, which is quite phenomenal in worldwide scale and makes the world's largest “by the glass” list. Especially worth mentioning is the fact that legendary fine wines are also available by the glass (yes, Petrus too). One of the three cellars is dedicated to aged, very rare Greek wines - both red and white ones - with very impressive collection on Santorini wines and hundreds of Magnum bottles. FOOD at VINTAGE: we are dedicated to treating outstanding ingredients with the lowest amount of intervention. We create mediterranean dishes that find the perfect balance between simplicity and deliciousness (i.e. grilled milk-fed lamb, truffled

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We absolutely loved this place. The service was attentive with plenty of time to advise us. We chose wines by the glass in order to taste a maximum of different Greek grape varieties and the sommelier spontaneously offered us half glasses. The food is original...and the quality at a Michelin star level - my husband is French so we know what we are talking about. We tried other Michelin star restaurants during our stay in Athens, and Vintage is without comparison our favourite. We cannot recommend enough! Try the goatchease with truffle honey and their exceptional potatoes that is served with the lam, and you'll find out why potatoes can be to die for.More

We came for the wine, which did not disappoint, but let me start by saying the food was also excellent! The wine tasting experience was really incredible, with a tasting of 2 different whites and 6 reds. They have an incredible range of wines by...the glass to suit every budget. We were looked after by Nikos, a super nice and knowledgeable guy. This was a truly memorable evening!! If you love wine, you’ll love this place!More

We booked this restaurant as part of my birthday celebrations and it was a fantastic evening - the two staff who looked after us were very knowledgeable about the wines and the food and, after asking us about the types of wines we usually drink..., our budget and our food choices, we were served two fabulous wines by the glass , a white, a red and then a desert wine later . The wines were outstanding and the food was outstanding . We shared three dishes first - a fish ceviche, whole grain falafel and a bone marrow and beef carpaccio followed by a platter of four Greek cheeses. The orange and lemon pudding we shared for the final course was also exceptional. A meal I will remember for a long time and the highlight of our week in Athens. It was quiet but we were unfashionably early as we had another event later and so we got a look at the wine cellar and information on the restaurants roots and concept - Thank you so much.More

We had a very happy experience at this place thanks to our extraordinary host Sotiris. He was passionate about food and wine and delighted in sharing this. Sotiris’s depth of knowledge of wine was amazing and he guided us to wine we liked and within...our budget. The food was also very delicious, with a wonderful marriage of different tastes and textures.More

We were tired after 20 hours of traveling and wanted something to eat. We found Vintage right across the street from our hotel. The manager was a delight, we had her recommend our wine as we wanted something. Greek. She showed us the area on...a map that it came from and detailed tasting notes. With decided on a Charcuterie plate. We again let her decide what was on it. Local rare cheeses and local meats. Everything was perfect. Prices were surprisingly reasonable considering we didn’t even ask on the front end and relied on our server who was the manager. Highly recommend.More

When we discovered they had hundreds of bottles of wine available by the glass, we knew we had to give it a try. Effie was a wonderful host who’s knowledge of wine seemed infinite. We tried 3 glasses each, loved every one but our favorite...was a wine that did not have a label. It was from a small winery with very limited production so this was a perfect opportunity to enjoy a wonderful wine that we would never see again. If you love wine, Vintage is a must while in Athens!More

Great staff and service and very knowledgeable about wine and brought local whites and reds by the glass that perfectly matched our preferences. We had a couple of sharing platters that were very tasty - pitta with feta and pears and mini tacos. I think...it’s prob 4.5 stars and only reason I scored 4 is that the menu is not extensive and there may not be something for everyone. But suited us and I would recommend.More

We had a wonderful dinner here - I couldn’t recommend it enough. We had a few different sharing plates, but the goat cheese and apple pitta was amazing, as was the deer bone marrow carpaccio. Effie picked the perfect Greek red wine just from me...describing what I liked. The wine selection is superb and overall the restaurant is relaxed with excellent service.

Everything was perfect, we ordered a platter with several cheeses and charcuterie that we wanted to try. The quality was excellent and the quantity was more than enough to accompany the wine we have chosen. We loved the Holzhofer and the truffled pecorino! Fully recomended!

We had such a great time at Vintage! Our server was so kind and helpful in selecting wines by the glass, even when we shared that we needed to stay on lower end of the $$spectrum. Ultimately, we left it up to her to choose...our wine, and she did not disappoint! The food wasn't life-changing, but the wine, ambiance, and our server more than made up the difference. Highly recommend, but would caution if you are impatient or expect rapid service. When we were there in June, there was just one team member who served as sommelier, hostess, server, and everything in between - and a huge hats off to her for doing so!! as she still provided individualized attention to each table - so things were a little slow, but it gave us more time to enjoy ourselves and the excellent wine :)More
