AIGLI ZAPPEIOU
In 1904, when AIGLI ZAPPEIOU started serving its first coffee to visitors, an ambitious vision was born for a place where recreation and culture would be connected with the cosmopolitan soul of the capital. The unparalleled view of the National Garden and the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis quickly made AIGLI a meeting point for intellectuals, artists, and pioneers, who in turn created a community that exchanged ideas and laid the foundations for a new era of innovation. As the decades passed, AIGLI earned the reputation of being one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, a true oasis within the urban fabric, which over time lived up to the promise of its name: “splendor”!
Today, 120 years later, AIGLI ZAPPEIOU, “the most delightful entertainment venue of Athens,” is experiencing a new era that unites its glorious past with its dynamic present. Fully renewed and renovated, it masterfully combines its history with contemporary trends, remaining true to its historical significance. With this in mind, it aspires to continue being the core of Athens’ social and cultural identity, bridging tradition with innovation, the classic with the modern. In its new beginning, it not only sees the present but also the future of the city, serving as a place that inspires, unites, and evolves. Aigli is not just a famous landmark of Athens. It is a living entity that, like the city surrounding it, grows, seeks fresh ideas, and perhaps dares to shape new trends.
Entertainment, Culture, Gastronomy, Events—all under one roof. The fully renovated AIGLI ZAPPEIOU emerges as a significant center of gastronomy and culture. It features a bar restaurant, AIGLI ALLDAY, as well as a gastronomic restaurant, AIGLI RESTAURANT, dedicated to contemporary and international urban cuisine, a summer cinema, AIGLI CINEMA, and three state-of-the-art event spaces: AIGLI BALLROOM, AIGLI UPSTAIRS, and AIGLI YARD.
The gastronomic philosophy of AIGLI ZAPPEIOU reflects the broader approach of the venue towards diversity. The menus range from carefully crafted hot dogs, burgers, and fresh pizzas to chateaubriand and fish grilled on the parilla, as well as children’s menus and pet menus. This variety of options, combining everyday enjoyment with a gastronomic experience, is a testament to Aigli’s commitment to being a place where every visitor can find something that suits their preferences.
