The best French food in Greece, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and The 50 have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Spondi comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Athens.

Rank 1. Spondi
Contemporary French
Vaulted stone dining rooms and candlelit terraces a short walk from the ancient Panathenaic Stadium set the scene for contemporary French cooking that leans heavily on visual presentation. This is a formal, Michelin-starred restaurant with a tasting menu alongside à la carte, attentive service that the room practically insists upon, and a crowd dressed accordingly. Seasonal produce drives the menu, though certain luxury ingredients appear to have permanent residency.

Rank 2. Gallina
French
Marble tables, an open kitchen you can actually watch, and a wine list running past 800 labels set the tone at this Athens bistro, where the cooking blends French technique with Greek ingredients. Fish and seafood anchor the menu, with mature cuts for the meat-minded, and the raw red prawns from Koilada are the kind of thing regulars quietly plan their visit around. Art on the walls, serious food on the plate.

Rank 2. VERi TABLE
French
A French bistro tucked into a residential Athens neighborhood, dark-toned and softly lit in a way that makes the evening feel unhurried. The chef draws on Provençal cooking with a Mediterranean lean, and his wife runs the floor and the wine cellar, which skews heavily French. The kind of room where someone clearly cares about both halves of the meal, and the regulars already know it.
