I think we all agree that after the Christmas holiday the rest of the winter seems endless, cold and depressing.. Celebrations have come to an end and summer feels so far away. Low energy batteries, no vitamin D, just started a diet, dark and cold outside, trying so hard to become friends again with your gym…. Winter blues.

Alpha Bank and 120 well known Athenian restaurants wanted to change this winter blue atmosphere. The idea came up 2 years ago when they decided to organize the week of gastronomy, The Dine Athens, in the heart of the off-peak period in the beginning of February.

Dine Athens (www.dineathens.gr ) invites gastronomy lovers to taste and enjoy menus at a very special prices. A great opportunity for someone to visit restaurants, which become more affordable, during this time. It’s amazing that only last year 12.500 Athenians responded to the call and tasted high gastronomy dishes in 120 restaurants.

The alternative menus with special prices ranging from 15 - 30 - 60 euros (with an additional 10% discount for Alpha Bank card holders) offer many people with different budgets the opportunity to visit one or more of their favorite restaurants. Benefits from this very inspired collaboration impact restaurants and the whole chain (food products, drinks..etc.) but also helps nonprofit organizations like “WE CAN» and “NO PORTION OF FOOD LOST”!
