Why Travelers Love Couleur Locale
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I’ve been to Couleur Locale a few times 3-4 years ago and was always happy about the food and service, however today’s visit was beyond disappointing. I’ll start with the positives: When we arrived at 10:50 for brunch there was only one big group of around 10 people and us (2 people). At the time there was only one waitress but we were immediately served with water and she took our orders. We received our coffees and juice very fast, all 3 very tasty. The waitress was also very nice and the view on Acropolis was too. That’s where the positives end. We ordered our breakfast (toast with fried eggs - first position on the menu) and waited 50 MINUTES for the food to arrive. The place wasn’t that full and noone can tell me that preparing this easy brunch takes that long. Each ingredient of the food tasted good, however the meal altogether was too heavy, too salty and too oily and we weren’t able to finish it as we already felt sick. I think adding more healthy stuff to the whole meal would balance it more. After that we had to wait another 20mins for waitress to notice us wanting to pay. Unfortunately we spent more than 1.5h in that place which to me is too much if most of the time is waiting We definitely won’t be back again Great rooftop bar with a view of the Acropolis, great for drinks and has a good value cheeseboard. Would recommend. Cheeseboard can be gluten free without the bread. Good Bloody Mary. Good rooftop bar in the center of Athens. The Acropolis views are spectacular. The food took a bit long to arrive and was nothing special, but the prices are very fair. For a drink this is definitely the place to go!

We went for brunch - on the rooftop. There's not enough servers, but they work hard. The food was excellent, much better than many rooftop places in the center. Really creative dishes. They also have smoothies and coffees and cocktails. And great acropolis views!

Beautiful view! 😍 I only ordered a Prosecco and they totally forgot about me, so definitely some improvement needed. Wasn’t busy at all, so no clue how that happened. That said, worthy place to grab a quick drink and stare at the acropolis! 🥂
