Steak meals, dating back to approximately 1565 in Florence, are high in protein and iron, and extremely fulfilling, but, nutrition aside, it is the taste factor that makes them extremely popular worldwide. Athens is no exception. The city has a devoted following for meat-based dishes, especially steak. In more recent years, a growing number of tavernas and restaurants have been setting higher meat-related standards, offering different types of cuts, both domestic and imported, ageing and different types of grilling methods. Besides boosting the quality of food on offer, these spots have also focused on décor and atmosphere, for special dining experiences. We present seven fine establishments in Athens serving incredible steak, as well as other superb dishes.

Beefbar Athens
Beefbar Athens, a cosmopolitan restaurant launched by Riccardo Giraudi, CEO of meat industry giant Giraudi Group, at the Astir Palace luxury hotel three years ago, brought the street food fine-dining concept to the Athens Riviera, meat playing a leading role. This space, warm and simple in style, offers a sea backdrop and lush greenery. Its unbeatable combination of location, relaxed atmosphere, high-standard hospitality and exceptional food quality offers diners a unique experience. The restaurant, placing emphasis on the usage of premium cuts, collaborates with top-quality livestock farms in the USA and Australia and is one of the few restaurants in Greece that imports certified Kobe beef. The menu, curated by chef Panagiotis Retzis, includes numerous extremely delicious dishes. Diners should not skip the signature carpaccio, made with Wagyu, finely cut and aromatic.
