Guide Review - Restaurant
Exhausted at the end of a long trip, I reluctantly decided to dine inside the hotel with my just-turned-16 godson. He was lukewarm about the thought of a formal restaurant experience, but we finally made a reservation at the Premiere restaurant located at the top of the Hotel InterContinental. We were greeted warmly and escorted to our table, and presented with a wine list that was nearly as big as the table - a huge wood-bound book with the wine choices printed on thick fine paper. While there were bottles commanded hundreds of Euros each, there was also a good selection of more reasonably priced wines.
The food menu was substantial with mainly international, traditional choices made with mainly local produce and meats. It was his first experience with fine dining and quickly made him a convert, an expensive error I have since regretted. Both of us decided to try the steak sauced with wild mushrooms.

The casually-elegant ambiance, top-notch service, glorious view, and quality of the cuisine combined to make this hotel restaurant an excellent value. It even led me to break a long-held rule - we ate there twice in a row.. The only difference was that we were even more warmly welcomed on the second night, and they seemed genuinely excited that we had chosen to come back.

The Premiere restaurant received the 2006 Golden Chef award, and the hotel itself also won accolades as the best luxury hotel in Athens. Athenaeum InterContinental Hotel
