The 42 team, back on Karneadou

42 is back, this time on Karneadou in Kolonaki, and it's still the same crew that once landed on the World's 50 Best Bars list from their old centre address. Barstronomy is their word for it: cocktails built with kitchen technique, paired with food made to match, not just snacks on the side.

Kolonaki has no shortage of pricey bars, but few carry this kind of pedigree. Grab a seat at the bar itself, not a table. Watching the drinks get made is half the point.

This was a cool cocktail bar that had a really nice ambiance to it. We enjoyed the drinks and the bar bites. The mini burgers were our favorite. Only issue we had was most the tables were completely empty but designed as reserved when we asked. We spent an hour and a half at the restaurant and none of the reserved tables were every occupied by guests.

Beautiful place, loved the decorations!!! The drinks were unfortunately a disappointment. Did not taste good and had barely any alcohol! Felt like drinkingjuice (And I usually get drunk after 2 glass of wine)

The food and drinks are fantastic! The service is also good. The wine selection is also very good. The ambiance and music are some of the best in all of Athens! We went on our first day in town. After spending an entire day wandering around and dining at mediocre restaurants, we returned to 42 for a magical dinner!

good cocktails. wouldn’t say great but the presentations were great with awesome ice. chips were greasy - like a home cook attempted hand cut chips. atmosphere is quite generic

The atmosphere is very relaxing, and so goes the food. What they call a toast, is a Panni for me. It was wonderful. The cheese was light and so was the ham. And the textures of both were delightful. As an afternoon snack, this is a wonderful location and place to sit at. Not a lot of foot traffic means that you will receive your peace and quiet as needed.
