Vintage Wine Bar & Bistro on central Mitropoleos street very close to Monastiraki, in an elegant space and is a pleasant surprise for wine lovers and not only. The style is French 1960s and the name was chosen because there are many vintage wines on the list. The wine list is arranged according to the taste, with a detailed description and specific dishes are served with each type of wine so as to exalt the all over taste experience. The menu includes varieties of cheese, dried fruit, olives which combine ideally with specific wines, enhancing the experience. All the ingredients are home made on the spot, even the butter, which can contain cocoa, herbs, beetroots and more and are exclusively seasonal. At Vintage wine bar there are three separate spaces: the ground floor with the cellar, the high ceilinged first floor with a small patio and a large table made from a tree trunk, which seats sixteen persons, whilst the most recent addition is the outside space on the pedestrian street of Kapnikareas with a view of the Acropolis. The wine list by the glass is impressive, with approximately 250 labels, 150 of which are Greek varieties. These wines can all be tasted with the Coravin method, with which the wine can be drawn from the bottle without uncorking it. All the varieties can be served also in 75 ml glasses and the prices start from 4,50 euro. The menu includes more than thirty selections in cold cuts and cheese from various countries from which you can choose the combination you prefer. The cold cured salmon is one of the favorites, the lamb from Vonitsa is also a great hit and the new arrivals include king prawns with gremolata of lemon and parsley.
