Hytra

Restaurant, one Michelin star · Petrou Kokkali 1, Ilisia — the Megaron garden

A starred kitchen in the garden of the Athens Concert Hall, with its own herb garden and a vegetarian tasting menu the coast does not really offer. Concert either side of dinner.

A restaurant terrace under trees at dusk, strings of lights over the tables.

Commercial relationship

None. LivingTheta has no commercial relationship with Hytra and receives nothing from it.

Where
Petrou Kokkali 1, Athens 115 21 — in the garden of the Megaron Ilisia. NOT the Onassis Stegi rooftop, which is a former address and still circulates.
Michelin
One star From the December 2024 selection. There was no Athens selection in 2025, and the combined Greek guide had not been published when we checked on 5 September 2026. This is not a 2026 star.
Open
Wednesday to Sunday, 19:00 to 02:00 Closed Monday and Tuesday. No lunch.
The menu
À la carte plus tasting menus Including a vegetarian tasting menu, which is rare at this level in Attica.
The garden
Herbs from the kitchen garden go into the sauces
Pairs with
A concert at the Megaron, either side of dinner
From Vouliagmeni
25 to 35 minutes Straight-line reasoning and ordinary traffic. No authority publishes journey times for these routes.

Hytra is in the garden of the Athens Concert Hall at Ilisia, with balcony dining, à la carte alongside tasting menus, and herbs grown on site going into the kitchen. It holds one star from the 2024 selection.

The address problem

For years Hytra was on the roof of the Onassis Cultural Centre on Syngrou. It is not now. A good deal of the coverage still sends people there, and Onassis Stegi is a separate destination in its own right rather than a restaurant address.

Why a Riviera household should have it

Two reasons. The vegetarian menu, which is genuinely thought through rather than a plate of vegetables assembled under protest. And the pairing: a concert at the Megaron and dinner in its garden is a coherent evening in a city where most starred rooms are somewhere you go and then leave.

It sits in the same quarter as the Conrad and House of NYNN, which makes Ilisia the one part of Athens a coast household can do properly in a single half-day.
