Dining at the Royal Olympic Hotel is more than a meal – it’s an immersive journey into the soul of Greek cuisine, brought to life through exquisite settings and imaginative culinary artistry.

Ioannis Restaurant and Bar - Commanding the top floor of the hotel, Ioannis Restaurant stands as the pinnacle of the Royal Olympic’s dining offerings. Here, guests are treated to breathtaking, panoramic views that stretch from the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus to the distant silhouette of Mount Lycabettus. As the sun dips below the Athenian skyline and the city begins to sparkle, the restaurant transforms into a haven of culinary elegance. The menu is a sophisticated blend of timeless Greek recipes and contemporary culinary innovation, crafted with the freshest local ingredients and seasonal delicacies. Dishes like delicately grilled seafood and artful renditions of traditional fare tell a story of Greece’s gastronomic heritage with every bite.

Set beside the hotel’s turquoise outdoor pool, this relaxed spot is ideal to enjoy cocktails, while listening to relaxing music, far away from the city buzz.
Lounge Bar & Library Bar – Indoors, the Lounge Bar presents an airy, marble-accented setting where guests can savour expertly mixed cocktails, curated wines, or aromatic coffees in a space that blends classical luxury with modern comfort. Plush seating and ambient lighting create a perfect environment for conversation or quiet reflection. Just steps away, the Library Bar offers a cozy, tucked-away nook adorned with books and warm wood finishes – the ideal hideaway for an intimate evening drink or a nightcap in a tranquil, refined atmosphere.
