Creative contemporary Greek tasting menus with polished service and strong wine pairings; excellent cooking for adventurous diners, but small portions and pricing frustrate some.
Simul delivers competitive quality on par with respected local fine dining through exceptional food quality and outstanding wine knowledge and service attentiveness. However, inconsistent execution with occasional overcooked seafood and acid-leaning courses prevents grade A territory, while comfortable but occasionally cramped seating limits the setting's distinction. The creative contemporary Greek tasting format and sommelier-driven experience appeal strongly to wine-focused diners seeking adventurous cuisine.
Tucked on a Kolonaki side street, Simul feels elegant and intimate rather than stiff. Service glides, with a standout sommelier who many diners say elevates the whole meal. One guest summed it up: "Every course felt deliberate and the pairings sang." However, expect a creative tasting-forward experience, not hearty portions. The kitchen fuses Greek references with modern technique—think tartare, squid and cod touches, XO sauce glints, fermented accents—yielding inventive contemporary Greek plates. When it clicks, the flavors are focused and exciting; a few diners note occasional over-acidity or slightly overcooked seafood, but most find the overall arc compelling, especially with the wine flight. Families should know the menu leans adventurous and portion-light. There is no kids menu, flavors skew bold, and plates are small; better for teens who enjoy trying new things than picky younger eaters. Desserts like the parsnip creation can intrigue curious kids, but classic crowd-pleasers are limited.
