The story
Basegrill sits on Kostantinoupoleos Avenue in Peristeri, a neighbourhood on the western edge of Athens, and has earned recognition from one of the most respected wine publications in the world. Wine Spectator granted the restaurant its Award of Excellence in 2025 — a distinction that signals not just a well-stocked cellar, but a wine list curated with genuine thought and depth.
As a Greek steakhouse, Basegrill occupies a specific and satisfying niche: the quality and tradition of Greek cuisine applied to the art of grilling prime cuts. The combination puts it in the company of restaurants that take both their sourcing and their craft seriously, pairing the boldness of a proper steakhouse with the warmth and directness that define Greek hospitality.
The Wine Spectator recognition adds a further dimension — the kind of wine programme that earns that award is one built to complement serious food, offering guests the full experience of a meal rather than simply a plate.
Located in Peristeri rather than the tourist-facing centre of Athens, Basegrill serves both lunch and dinner, drawing a crowd that comes for the food and the wine on their own terms.
