Proper French croissants steps from Klafthmonos

The croissants are laminated the way they should be, which in Athens still counts as news. Solène does French viennoiserie in the morning, then shifts into brasserie plates as the day goes on.

It shares Dragatsaniou with some of the centre's loudest new bars, so the street at eleven in the morning barely resembles the same street at eleven at night. Come for breakfast, not the nightlife.

Amazing restaurant in the center of Athens, went there for dinner and had such an amazing time. The service was great and the food even greater, every single dish was unique and thought out. The desserts were also delicious especially the chocolate soufflé! Would recommend without a doubt to anyone who wants a great atmosphere and amazing food.

I have mix feeling for this kind of places, in the morning its a beautiful pastry shop and in the evening its a french restaurant, I had been in the morning. Everything is sooooo beautiful! Just tell you but me and eat now!!! I took one of the best selling pastry the one with pistachio, the pistachio parline is very good but again something that repeats in Athens in many places the dough is tasteless, maybe is the butter they use or maybe something else, this is for my taste only.

I visited Soléne in the afternoon for some croissants as I have heard so much about this new place in Athens city center. I tried the pistachio croissant and the chocolate croissant. On both the "dough" was so crispy and aromatic. I expected more filling on the chocolate one. The pistachio was more tasty for sure. Worth mentioning that the vibe & decoration is amazing, the staff is super friendly.
