About
Le Grand Café d'Athènes is a Mediterranean bistro on rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, created by Chloé Monchalin and Benjamin Rousselet, founders of Filakia. The chef, trained under culinary masters (Robuchon, Barbot, Troisgros), offers authentic Greek cuisine revisited with modernity. The restaurant captivates with its warm ambiance: light wood terrace, marble tables, colorful ceramics, and handcrafted earthenware from Sifnos. The menu highlights Hellenic classics (mezzedes, tender octopus, souvlakis, moussaka) using products sourced directly from Greece. An in-house wine list features natural Greek wines and a "Made in Greece" cocktail menu. Open from breakfast to dinner, it's a sought-after destination for Mediterranean culinary exploration in the heart of Paris.
