Seychelles

Lovely restaurant hidden away in the centre of Athens, the food was a blend of Greek and European cuisine with exceptional taste. One of the guys working at the bar did an incredible job and made our experience one to remember. Portion sizes were huge! So tasty - really recommend

Best food experience in Athens, I was skeptical about its location at first, but once seated and had a look at the menu, the experience started changing. The food was exceptional, I wanted to try everything on the menu, but a man has his limits. Everything we had was at its best, for the salad to the tiramisu. Just exceptional!

Maybe had better days We were honestly a bit disappointed. The atmosphere is nice and the menu sounds promising, but both service and execution fell short. Service was inattentive and slightly unfriendly — no one checked in during the meal or asked if we enjoyed it, which set the tone. Food-wise, the green beans with feta, grapes, almonds and mint had potential but were underwhelming: the beans were slightly overcooked, under-seasoned, and lacked freshness. There were too few almonds and grapes, and the mint was barely noticeable. Roasted grapes and chunkier almonds could have added the contrast and sweetness the dish needed. The chickpeas with fennel had nice flavor components (especially the charred fennel), but the dish overall was under-salted and flat. A touch of chili or brighter herbs would have lifted it. The triple-cooked fries were well seasoned and tasty, but for “triple cooked” they weren’t quite crunchy enough — still good, but not outstanding. The pappardelle with ragu was the biggest letdown. The pasta was slightly overcooked, the ragu too tangy and not cooked down enough to develop real depth. The onions were still noticeable, and it lacked the rich, slow-cooked character you’d expect. A reduction with demi-glace or longer simmering would help tremendously. Overall, it feels like a restaurant that might once have had more precision and edge, but is coasting a bit now. The ideas are good, but the execution and service need tightening. With more attention to seasoning, texture, and hospitality, it could shine again. They didnt even said good bye. We didnt felt welcomed.

Had such a wonderful dining experience at Seychelles! I ordered the beef pappardelle and it was absolutely delicious. We were lucky to get a table on a Sunday without a reservation.. the restaurant filled up quickly, which shows how popular it is. We sat at the kitchen bar and loved watching the chefs in action. I believe it was the head chef we chatted with and he kindly offered us a complimentary appetizer while we waited. Such a thoughtful gesture! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively and the service made the whole experience even better. Truly had an amazing time and would love to come back.

A friend told me about this place from a previous trip and it lived up to the recommendation! Great fresh and creative menu options: large delightful greens salad, green beans with chèvre, pine nuts, and grapes!!, fresh house made gnocchi, etc.). We were a group of 3 able to fit in shortly after they opened on the weekend without a reservation. Would definitely go back!
