Brunch arrived late in Athens but has settled firmly into the central neighbourhoods, where coffee culture and all-day kitchens overlap. The Brunch Factory on Athinas in Monastiraki and Couleur Locale nearby cover the social, view-led end, while The Underdog in Kerameikos and Little Tree Books and Coffee in Koukaki lean bookish and unhurried. Holy Llama near Syntagma and Kostarelos Kolonaki round out a scene built more on long mornings than on rules.
The Brunch Factory on Athinas a step from Monastiraki metro in Athens is the all-day brunch room: Eggs Benedict, English breakfasts, pancakes and waffles.
OrderEggs Benedict with smoked salmon and the pancakes stack with maple syrup.
TipWeekend mornings fill from 10:30-13:00; the seated counter at the back is the calmer table.
The Underdog on Iraklidon in Thissio Athens runs a weekend brunch carte from the third-wave coffee bar, the in-house roastery's morning destination for cold.
OrderCold brew with the weekend brunch plate.
