Best In Town Athens 2017 | Page 333

Must Oι κρατήσεις, ειδικά για φαγητό. The reservations, especially for dining. Speaking of emblematic all day bar-restaurants of Athens, we are obliged to mention the Beluga, which continues for a second year to leave its mark in the hot piazza of the port! With a name inspired by premium products (such as the known vodka and the caviar) and a benchmark location (where the erotic cinema Fos used to be housed), Beluga has to show one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Art deco style, soft lighting, red tones, antiques combined with modern industrial elements, geometric sculptures with reference to the artist Mondrian, an indoor balcony with the neon sign “Hotel” where suddenly a girl playing a harlot appears, compose a nostalgic cabaret setting bearing the signature of the renowned designer Nikos Skopelitis. Set in the background of its atmospheric bar and its private dining corners which are placed on the glass floor “protecting” the antiquities dating back to 435 BCE (which consist the foundations of the 5th arcade of Piraeus), the elite shipping, business, political and artistic crowd enjoys exceptional coffee blends in the morning, plethoric brunches and creative Mediterranean cuisine by chef Stratos Koulelis during lunchtime. Great options the rib eye, the fresh fish and sushi. In the afternoon, the after office parties (daily from 17:00) uplift the mood, while in the evening the coveted bar offers an excellent cocktail list by the awarded bartender Giannis Bozovitz, rare wine and premium international drinks. All these are the reason why Beluga offers a unique experience throughout the day. Daily 09:00-04:00. • Το high end service (δι- αθέτει ακόμα και γκάμα σπάνιων πούρων). • Τα lives κάθε Τρίτη, Τε- τάρτη, Πέμπτη (μετά τις 21:00) με ψαγμένες jazz, swing και rock ‘n’ roll μουσικές. • Κάθε Κυριακή ελληνι- κό party (από τις 19:00) με τους Δημήτρη Αλε- ξάνδρου, Γιώργο Μανί- κα και Κώστα Σιδεράτο να προκαλούν πανικό... στο νεανικό κοινό. • Από φέτος λειτουργεί και ως member club. • Θα είστε τυχεροί αν δείτε τα ταχυδακτυ- λουργικά του Γιάννη Μπόζοβιτς πίσω από το bar! • The high end service (including a variety of rare cigars). • The live concerts every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (after 21:00) with hip jazz, swing and rock ‘n’ roll music. • The Greek party every Sunday (after 19:00) with Dimitris Alexandrou, Giorgos Manikas, Kostas Sideratos, which cause panic to the young crowd. • This year it also functions as a member club. • If you are lucky, you will get to see some magic by Giannis Bozovitz behind the bar! 329 òLJKOLJKWV
