The story
Basegrill sits on Zisimopoulou Street in Glyfáda, the coastal suburb south of Athens, bringing together the directness of a classic steakhouse with the character of Greek cuisine. The combination is a natural one in this setting — quality grilled meat, honest ingredients, and a wine list serious enough to earn a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025.
That Wine Spectator recognition is not a minor footnote. The Award of Excellence is granted to restaurants that demonstrate a well-chosen, wine-focused list with sufficient depth and breadth to complement their menu. For a Greek steakhouse, it signals a commitment to pairing the bold flavors of grilled meat with wines — likely drawing on Greece's increasingly respected indigenous varietals alongside international selections.
Basegrill serves lunch and dinner, making it a viable destination at either end of the day. The Greek steakhouse format puts grilled preparations at the center, a style that suits the relaxed, confident atmosphere of Glyfáda — a neighborhood known for its seafront energy and appetite for good food done well.
