GB Roof Garden Restaurant: The Grand Weekend Roast

Every weekend, the legendary poularde de Bresse takes center stage in a special menu designed to be enjoyed in good company.

GB Roof Garden Restaurant at Hotel Grande Bretagne introduces The Grand Weekend Roast, a new dining experience inspired by the joy of sharing and the timeless tradition of the family table, presented through a menu created to be enjoyed in good company.

Every Saturday and Sunday, guests have the opportunity to taste the renowned poularde de Bresse, one of the most emblematic products of French gastronomy and the only chicken in the world with PDO certification. This free-range poultry, originating from the Bresse region of France, is celebrated for its delicate texture and rich, full flavor. Executive Chef Asterios Koustoudis and Chef de Cuisine Giannis Rokanas, drawing inspiration from preparations recorded in the hotel’s historic recipe book, present a contemporary interpretation of this legendary dish, which remains among the “classic” specialties one can enjoy at Hotel Grande Bretagne.

At GB Roof Garden, the poularde de Bresse is served roasted whole, accompanied by a rich house-made gravy prepared from the roasting juices and finished with freshly shaved seasonal truffle. It is complemented by refined garnishes reminiscent of a traditional Sunday table, including seasonal vegetables cooked in cocotte, roasted potato purée with extra virgin olive oil, thyme and garlic confit baby potatoes, pearl onions ‘stifado’ style, morel mushrooms stuffed with goat cheese and fresh salad from the farm.

The Grand Weekend Roast brings a warmer, more convivial approach to the cuisine of GB Roof Garden, offering yet another reason to head to the city center for the weekend. The breathtaking views of Athens, combined with the refined hospitality of the historic hotel, create the perfect setting for a truly memorable meal.
