Bagatelle Athens

Restaurant, French Mediterranean · Astir Marina, Vouliagmeni

The French group's Athens room, on the marina terrace. A lunch that becomes something else by four o'clock, which is either the point or the problem.

Bagatelle is a French hospitality group of restaurants and beach clubs, built around the idea that lunch in the South of France is an event rather than a meal. The Athens room is on the terrace at Astir Marina.

Know what you are booking

This is not a quiet lunch. The format is deliberately celebratory and the room warms through the afternoon — that is the product, not a side effect. Booked with the right expectation it is very good at what it does. Booked with the wrong one it is simply the wrong restaurant.

The kitchen is French and Mediterranean. We have not eaten there and are not describing the cooking.

The resident’s test still applies and almost nobody asks it: are you open in February. The pillar file lists the other rooms on this quay.

A table, and the right one

We do not run a booking service. We do know which rooms are worth a Tuesday, who is cooking rather than plating, and which kitchens will send someone to your house. Ask and we will tell you what we would do.
