From Thanasis Vassilenas’ humble taverna – born in the impoverished neighbourhoods of 1920s Piraeus  – to a modern, cosmopolitan restaurant in the heart of Athens on Vrasida Street.

A culinary story that spans one hundred years.

A journey filled with the memories and flavours of family recipes that continue to inspire our cuisine today

Our philosophy

Ours is a truly creative Greek cuisine. We use premium fresh ingredients and modern cooking techniques, striving for perfection in every single dish.

“Vassilenas” is an urban restaurant committed to offering impeccable service. We find inspiration in tradition and aim to take Greek cuisine a step further.

We have created a cozy, luminous space where a meal is much more than dishes set on a table. 

Let us host your corporate lunches and business dinners in the stylish environment of Vassilenas.

Vassilenas seats 130 people, including a large monastic table in a private light-filled annexe that accommodates 15, and which can be hired for a more exclusive dining experience. Our restaurant’s elegant space is designed to suit any kind of corporate or social event, with flexible menus tailored to your specific needs.

Our elevated standards of service and attention to detail ensure a fine dining encounter for all of your valued clients and guests.
