The Michelin Guide, the oldest and most famous institution in international gastronomy, has announced the restaurants that stood out in Athens this year. CTC, of chef Alexandros Tsiotinis, in Kerameikos, and Pelagos of Four Seasons Astir Palace in Asteras, Vouliagmeni, run by Head Chef Luca Piscazzi, are the new stars of the Michelin Guide for the Greek capital. Spondi (in a magnificent neoclassical building in the hip area of Pangrati) keeps its two stars for another year, and Botrini\u2019s (in a 1939 house in Chalandri, in the northern suburbs of Athens), Varoulko Seaside (in Piraeus, in the beautiful Mikrolimano marina) and Hytra (on the 6th floor of the Onassis Foundation Building on Syngrou Avenue \u2013 in the summer on the 7th floor, overlooking Athens and, of course, the Acropolis), continue to have one star each.<\/p>\n
At the same time, another restaurant, Cerdo Negro 1985, in Gazi, was awarded for the first time the Bib Gourmand distinction, given to restaurants that combine good quality with affordable prices. Oikeio in Kolonaki and Nolan in Syntagma retain their Bib Gourmand distinction this year as well.<\/p>\n
