Enjoy the best brunch in Athens at NEW Hotel for 2024! Delight in a Greek-inspired menu with local ingredients in the stunning Art Lounge or the lush Lobby Bar every weekend
The much-loved Athens brunch tradition is back at NEW Hotel, launching into a new era with a fresh, revamped menu and stunning spaces to match. Starting Saturday, October 19, the weekend brunch scene will shine in not one, but two prime locations within the hotel. Guests can now enjoy their brunch at either the Art Lounge on the 7th floor, boasting breathtaking views of Athens’ iconic landmarks, or at the newly designed Lobby Bar, a lush urban oasis created by the Manhattan Projects team.
Both settings provide an extraordinary ambiance, with the Art Lounge remaining true to the aesthetic vision of the Campana brothers, while the Lobby Bar’s floral patterns and greenery breathe fresh air into the heart of the city. Whether you’re after panoramic cityscapes or cozy, nature-inspired surroundings, the NEW Hotel offers a brunch experience for every mood.
A Greek-Inspired Brunch Like No Other
The new brunch menu, crafted by executive chef Babis Kountouris, is an homage to Greek culinary traditions. Expect dishes that evoke nostalgia, like the classic kagianas (scrambled eggs with tomato) and froutalia, a Cycladic-style omelet packed with potatoes, salami, and San Michali cheese from Syros. Day-fresh pies, oven-warm viennoiseries, and NEW Hotel’s famous smashed beef burger made with American Angus are still brunch staples, but now with a new local twist.
The Art Lounge also brings an elevated dining experience this season, with a menu rich in top-quality ingredients sourced from across Greece. From Amvrakikos Gulf shrimp and Cretan graviera, to Mesolongi bottarga and Evrytania prosciutto, chef Kountouris reimagines Greek cuisine with a modern touch. Signature dishes like lobster yiouvetsi, octopus stifado, and pistachio praline ekmek with orange blossom ice cream showcase a deep respect for tradition, while delivering bold, fresh flavors.
Two Spaces, One Unforgettable Brunch
With brunch now served every Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00 at both the Art Lounge and the Lobby Bar, your weekends just got a lot tastier. Start your day with views of Athens’ cityscape, or immerse yourself in the calming, green surroundings of the Lobby Bar. Either way, NEW Hotel’s brunch promises a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
And if you’re looking for a nighttime dining experience, the Art Lounge continues to shine, offering an impressive Greek gastronomic menu, with the same stunning views over Athens.
