Noel

Do you ever wish that Christmas could be more than just one day a year? Well, at this restaurant in Athens, it can be Christmas any day of the year! 

We walked about 20 minutes from our hotel near Monastiraki Square to find this hidden gem restaurant on the popular Kolokotroni street. From the outside, it looks very unassuming with its dim lighting and red and white awnings.  However, as soon as you enter the space, it is a different world completely!  When we walked in, we were greeted with hundreds of mannequin parts hanging from the ceiling amongst an atmosphere reminiscent of a burlesque parlour. The walls, painted a dark red accentuated the moody atmosphere.

The food is very modestly priced and we had some of the best pizza I have had in a long time! After dinner, we spent time exploring the themed rooms that were open at the time we went end of September as it was the end of the tourist season. 

Know before you go: If you will be going to Noel during the Christmas months, be sure to make a reservation in advance!
