The iconic Winter Garden welcomes you to Athens’ most majestic brunch experience, curated
by Executive Chef Asterios Koustoudis and inspired by European culinary traditions, premium Greek ingredients and the rich history of Hotel Grande Bretagne.
The newly refreshed Weekends at Winter Garden menu, an ode to the art of brunch, begins with handcrafted French pastries, kneaded and baked each morning in the hotel’s bakery.
Gianduja chocolate and butter croissants, ‘pain au chocolat’, as well as a savory croissant with cheese and premium beef pastrami, all expertly crafted by Pastry Chef Alexandros Koufas, are elegantly presented from a beautiful pastry trolley. These delicacies pair ideally with freshly brewed coffee, juice, or tea of your choice, setting the perfect scene for relaxed conversations in an atmosphere of endless charm.
The culinary journey continues with refined main courses, where iconic recipes meet Greek flavors, elevating the brunch experience to new heights. The fluffy Florentine eggs, served with fresh spinach, aromatic herbs and a velvety bechamel sauce with Naxos Graviera P.D.O. cheese, is a dish of exceptional taste.
For pasta lovers, the Candele gratin with golden, gratinated pasta filled with wild mushrooms, exquisite truffle from the Greek forests and gorgonzola sauce, is a dish of pure indulgence. For those seeking a timeless classic, the nenowned Beef Stroganoff is a must-try, with tender fillet cooked with vegetables and pickles, served alongside an airy potato purée.

It is then served with luscious vanilla ice cream, inviting you to share and savor each bite with your loved ones. Right next to it, an exquisite selection of petit fours and a glass of fine French champagne, accompanied by the soft melodies of Winter Garden’s music, add the final magical touch to a brunch you will never forget.
