Best In Town Athens 2017 | Page 181

Since November 2012, Athens possesses its own genuine wine bistro. By The Glass, an established meeting point for the wine-loving crowd, is a well-received surprise on Syntagma square and “well-protected” within the historic Rally Arcade. The space intrigues with its private corners and its large cellar where more than 350 Greek and inter- national wine bottles rest, as well as with the atmospheric arcade where the nostalgic aura of old Athens is evident. The expertise of Fotini Pantzia is reflected in the exemplary wine list (updated every month) presenting popular as well as rare labels, most of which are available by the glass (25 ml, 75 ml and 150 ml) thanks to the Coravin and By the Glass systems. The wine pairing results in fine suggestions, ideal for lunch break, warm and cold dishes and finger food as side dishes. This Dionysian mystery is completed with relaxing lounge and jazz music, from early in the morning. Daily from 10:00 (the kitchen until 01:30). ƃLJKOLJKW Τα περιζήτητα τραπέζια του στην ανανεωμένη πλατεία, μια όαση δίπλα στη Ρωσική Εκκλησία.
