CTC Urban Gastronomy

CTC hides a tree-filled courtyard behind Plateon Street in Kerameikos, with a low-lit dining room for colder nights. Alexandros Tsiotinis rebuilds familiar Greek ideas through French technique, then asks the staff to reveal each course only when it reaches the table.

Our take

Eleven courses. No spoilers.

CTC hides a tree-filled courtyard behind Plateon Street in Kerameikos, with a low-lit dining room for colder nights. Alexandros Tsiotinis rebuilds familiar Greek ideas through French technique, then asks the staff to reveal each course only when it reaches the table.

The restaurant serves one blind 11-course menu with optional wine pairings; expect roughly three hours. Send allergies and vegetarian requests before booking, since the kitchen enforces the set format, and avoid fixing a second engagement after dinner; reviews praise pacing and parallel vegetarian dishes but report occasional oversalting.

What visitors say

Michelin awards one star; Tripadvisor lists 450 reviews with repeated praise for pacing, wine and vegetarian adaptations, while some diners flag strict menu rules and uneven salt.
