Ten Years of SENSE-Honoring the Past, Creating the Future
SENSE Restaurant sits on the iconic rooftop of AthensWas Hotel, offering one of the most privileged dining locations in Athens. With breathtaking views of the Acropolis and a modern approach to Greek cuisine, SENSE has earned its place among the top rooftop restaurants in the city. Here, panoramic city views meet refined flavours inspired by Greece’s culinary heritage.
As SENSE marks a decade of culinary expression, we proudly introduce our new degustation menus—an evolution of our journey through Greek gastronomy. Rooted in tradition yet driven by creativity, each dish reflects the memories, flavors, and stories that have shaped our identity over the past ten years. Inspired by the richness of the Greek land and its timeless ingredients, we revisit our origins with a contemporary perspective, honoring the past while crafting the future. This new chapter invites our guests to experience a refined journey of taste, where heritage and innovation come together in every plate.
You can take a look at our Dinner Menu here.
While dining, the majestic Acropolis becomes the centrepiece of the scene. Raise a glass and take in one of Athens’s most captivating rooftop views. From the interior dining room, guests can enjoy the refined ambience and observe the energy of the semi-open kitchen, where Chef Alexandros Charalabopoulos and his team bring each dish to life.
The restaurant features two serene dining areas—indoors and outdoors. The outdoor space is surrounded by a lush herb garden and climbing vines, creating a refreshing, intimate atmosphere. The setting may be elegant and understated, but the Michelin Starred awarded cuisine stands out: every dish invites you on a gastronomic journey across Greece. Our two tasting menus showcase signature creations of SENSE, enhanced with new seasonal additions that awaken all your senses.
