Brunching in Athens
When I first tried brunch I never thought I'd be a regular. But here I am, writing a post about my favorite brunch spots to which I've been a trillion times..! There are dozens of choices for brunch in Athens, but after lots of visits to different places, I've come down to my top 3 ones.

THE BEST BY FAR. If I had to choose one, this would be it! Designed to give you exactly that New York-y feel, this place has everything from stools and stations to New York's subway map! About the food? They serve the B E S T pancakes, omelettes, scrabbled eggs, eggs Benedict and bagels I've ever had. (as you can see, I've tried almost everything on their menu.. oops!)

I could just stand and stare at this place for hours. Located at 'Alsos Papagou' (which translates to Papagou Forest), this cafe-bar-restaurant is literally into the woods! While you can sit outside and enjoy the 'wilderness' and the custom made pond, indoors is also available, making PIU VERDE appropriate all year long. I absolutely fell in love with their pancakes, the sweet AND the savory ones!

This small cafe has been our meet-up place since last March! Cute, cozy able to brighten up your day with its colorful decorations and tasteful bites-of course! As you walk into the store, you can't help but notice the scent of a freshly baked cake, cookies or even a quiche lorraine. When I found out that it would be serving an everyday brunch from now on, I couldn't be more thrilled. Their bagels are homemade and come in a variety of fillings, from classic cheese and turkey to prosciutto and Philadelphia. (!) I've never tried better bagels in my life, I swear! All typical egg-based brunch plates are available as well. And we wouldn't call this a brunch review if we didn't speak pancakes, right?! You could go classic maple syrup, chocolate or go bald and try them with their homemade strawberry marmelade. However, my absolute favourite from their huge selection of sweets and savory, is the carrot cake. Moist, sweet, light and exactly what you need after a long tiring day.
