Aleria Restaurant

Aleria opened its doors in 2006 in the Metaxourgeio neighbourhood, in the heart of Athens. Owner Nikiforos Kechagiadakis discovered this neoclassical gem of the 19th century and immediately felt that this was the ideal place to house Aleria. In this place, the comforting feeling of home would meet a sophisticated, pleasing dining atmosphere where guests would relax and enjoy a unique gastronomical experience. The name «Aleria» was inspired by Corsica’s city «Aleria», founded in 563 BC by Phocaeans, who were ancient Greeks living in Ionia on the Aegean Coast of western Anatolia. To this day, the city of Aleria holds a tight connection with Greece through its gastronomy and culture. Aleria Restaurant features three dining areas and a beautiful patio that operates during summer. The unique interior decoration, where modern decorative elements counterpoint timeless fitness, is curated by Sofia Kechagiadaki (Liasso). Head Chef Gikas Xenakis, a fierce advocate of Modern Greek Cuisine, along with his team of talented cooks, creates dishes that give prominence to our rich gastronomical culture through a contemporary, creative and profoundly delicious approach that stimulates the palette as well as the mind. Through the past 14 years, Aleria has gained many prestigious culinary awards, and it remains dedicated to our philosophy: to passionately serve and evolve Modern Greek Cuisine while offering an unforgettable fine dining experience.
