The Chrysoi Skoufoi Awards

The 33rd Chrysoi Skoufoi (Golden Toques), Athinorama's annual awards for the best restaurants in Greece, were presented on Monday 9 March 2026 at a gala dinner at the Grand Hyatt Athens, where 45 toques were conferred.

The 33rd Chrysoi Skoufoi (Golden Toques) ceremony, held on Monday 9 March 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Athens, was the annual presentation of Athinorama’s awards for the best restaurants in Greece. The Athens magazine has awarded the toques since 1994, rating restaurants across the country on a 20-point scale; a rating of 15 or above earns a toque.

The 2026 gala conferred 45 Golden Toques on chefs and restaurateurs from across Greece, with a further 19 restaurants taking the Top Notch distinction for ratings approaching the threshold. The gala dinner was cooked by the chefs Athenagoras Kostakos and Vasilis Mouratidis. Etrusco, Ettore Botrini’s restaurant on Corfu, was rated the best restaurant in Greece at 17 of 20, its 14th consecutive year at the head of the list.

Of the awarded restaurants, 17 were in Athens, with the remainder spread across the mainland and the islands from the Aegean to the Ionian. The 34th ceremony is expected in early March 2027.
