Beyond the Athens Riviera, Piraeus has its own share of charming courtyards -ideal for coffee, brunch, or cocktails. Here are three all-day spots that blend atmosphere, flavor, and a touch of escape.
We may be used to seeking out courtyards and cool hideaways along the Athens Riviera, but Piraeus is home to some of the city’s most atmospheric all-day garden spots.
From Latin boho vibes and signature cocktails to elegant greenery and carefully crafted brunches, these courtyards are well worth becoming your next go-to summer destination.
Che Cocina y Barra Sudamericana, Piraeus
And since we’ve wandered beyond the strict borders of the southern suburbs, let’s go all the way to Piraeus: this is where you’ll find the popular Che. When it first opened, the mural of Frida Kahlo was constantly popping up in Instagram stories, as everyone rushed to check out what was new in the heart of Piraeus. The courtyard at Che is filled with warm colors and lively patterns that immediately transport you to a corner of Latin America. Its fiery spirit unfolds in the menu, with classic flavors and creative cocktails.
Belle Amie, Piraeus
On the pedestrian street of Angelou Metaxa, Belle Amie feels like it carries the elegance of another era—an elegance that isn’t pretentious, but radiates genuine refinement. In its garden, shaded by lush pergolas, you can enjoy your morning coffee along with brunch dishes like eggs, sandwiches, and pancakes. As night falls, wine and cocktails take the lead, paired with dishes inspired by traditional flavors and global influences.
Mardi Bar, Piraeus
A palm tree stands near the center of Mardi Bar, while a blooming bougainvillea adds a splash of extra color. The courtyard of this all-day spot is an oasis in the heart of Piraeus—a place where people of all ages come for a coffee after shopping or an after-office drink to shake off the day’s fatigue. At Mardi, you can enjoy pancakes for breakfast, a light lunch with a pasta salad, and chicken risotto for dinner.
