| Athens Wine Bars - Les Bons Viveurs |
Located in the center of Athens in Voulis Street open all day away from the noice. With a great design and a basement turned into a real cellar for all wines to be kept in the right temperatures.
The list of wines by the glass is really big at Oinoscent and changes almost every month being constantly updated. Their concept on the bottle service is a first at least in the Greek Standards as they charge you only 8.00 euros on the market price of every label, meaning they charge a service fee of eight euros on the price you would pay at your local liquor store!
Another interesting fact regards the various deishes they serve to accompany your wine.Among them you will find different platters of Greek cheeses and dried meats. Mediterranean delicasies different tarts every day as well as a selection of salads.A Must try is the Buffalo Mozzarella with the small cherry tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil.

There are 3 choices of Wine-Cocktails with a Proseco as a base ingredient, especially in those hot summer days. Try the American as it is another version of the infamous Spritzer Aperol.
An Antismoking policy is promoted by the management as they suggest clearly on the first page of their menu to try a glass of wine without smoking to see the difference!

Negative Points: Small bar stools on the tables that are not very comfy after a while - the quantity of the plates that could be easily more substantial - Missing a small snack served with every wine to nibble instead of pressuring to order a side dish right from the start.
Overall a good choice and a sufficient representation of the cellar & wine bars in Athens.
