Ergon House, Mediterranean restaurant and roof terrace near Acropolis, Athens, Greece
Ergon House is a restaurant and roof terrace near the Acropolis in Athens that centers on local products and artisanal food producers. The space brings together a marketplace with vendor stalls, dining zones, and preparation areas where food is made and served.
The place was established to continue the tradition of a Thessaloniki merchant family that had long-standing ties with local food makers. This connection to farmers and artisans still shapes the food selection and the way the space operates today.
The space reflects how Greek food traditions remain woven into everyday life through relationships with small-scale producers and artisanal practices. You see this philosophy in every corner, from the displayed products to the way meals are prepared and presented.
The location is within walking distance of the Acropolis and easy to reach, with different areas suited to different times of day and activities. You can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or simply grab drinks at the counter.
A restored Italian motorbike from the 1950s sits at the entrance and serves as a seasonal display unit for specialty foods. This nostalgic object adds a playful touch while connecting to the site's heritage.
