From March 2018, it found its new home in the historic neighborhood of Psirri, Athens and is hosting guests every day with love and attention. Won't lie, in the menu, smoked brisket is king but its burgers have a fanatic crowd. Bao Buns, Tacos, Mac N Cheese and Steaks will make their way to your table too.

Grande Dame opened its doors on the ground floor of a historic neoclassical building on Nikis Street, which was once an inn and later housed the Old Athens tavern. Its interior was gutted, renovated and acquired a different style. The old tile under your feet is more than a century old. The tables are spread across three rooms, with various lamps - some vintage, some more modern – paintings of ladies, and vases of fresh flowers. The fact that the space transitions between old and new, blending elements of both, reflects the style and character of the food.Welcome to Grande Dame Athenian Tavern. We look forward to serving you.

    Never did I expect to get BBQ as a meal in Greece but after two weeks of eating Italian, Greek, and food across the Mediterranean we decided on a highly rated local BBQ that truly holds up with any US BBQ. My god they figured out great smoked sausage, moist pulled pork with great smokiness, and tender brisket. This was all part of the Tipsy Texan sandwich and truly recommend to get a variety of flavors all in one sandwich. Then we had to try each of the Bao bun options as part of the bao bun sampler - Fried chicken, pork belly, pulled pork, and brisket. Again the meats were fantastic and the buns were pillowy soft with just the right amount of slaw and sauce on each. Their coleslaw is one of the tops I have had, creamy and just the right crunch. Meal was fantastic and priced phenomenal. Highly recommend in Athens, Greece when you want to try some of the best barbecue. Also the neighborhood and surrounding area is so cool to walk around and see the vineyards covered, lit up decorations, and narrow walk ways surrounded by restaurants, ice cream shops, cafes, and bars.
