THE RESTAURANT

Zale is where the Athenian skyline becomes part of the dining experience. Framed by glass and perched above the city’s vibrant layers, this rooftop restaurant offers more than a view — it offers perspective. The design is understated, the atmosphere curated, and every detail is composed to let the Acropolis take its rightful place: not just as a backdrop, but as a presence.

By day, natural light floods the space as seasonal Mediterranean flavors, gracefully infused with subtle Asian finesse, arrive with ease and clarity. By night, the city glows softly beneath you while refined dishes and crafted cocktails unfold in a quiet rhythm. Whether you’re gathering for an elegant lunch, a twilight dinner, or a single glass at golden hour, Zale is where taste meets place — and both linger.

The Menu

Rooted in Greek tradition and shaped by global inspiration, Zale’s kitchen delivers plates that balance simplicity with boldness. Carefully sourced ingredients, seasonal inspiration, and plating that respects the eye as much as the palate — this is Athens, reinterpreted.

The Chef

At the helm of Zale’s culinary journey is Executive Chef Elena Balaska, a visionary whose craft bridges authenticity with innovation. Rooted in Mediterranean tradition and elevated by Japanese influences, her cuisine reflects a dialogue between cultures — refined, balanced, and emotionally resonant.

With a career shaped by collaborations with some of Greece’s most esteemed hotels and restaurants, Chef Balaska brings to Zale a menu that guarantees to awaken your senses — a modern expression of flavor and technique, driven by instinct, precision, and passion.

The Mixologist

Behind the bar, Dimitris Papaioannou curates experiences as much as he crafts drinks. With influences gathered from Japan, Latin America, Europe, and the U.S., his cocktail philosophy blends method with imagination — always with a Mediterranean spirit at its core.

Named Greece’s most interactive mixologist of the past decade, he brings to Zale a menu of signature creations where local ingredients, global inspiration, and storytelling meet in the glass.
