This Polynesian restaurant became a synonym for fine dining in an era when Athenians were used to international cuisine as much as they were used to snow sledges. A quarter of a century later, Athenians have become true cosmopolitan diners but Kona Kai remains a point of reference for the knowledgeable who come here time and again to enjoy excellent food prepared by top Polynesian chefs. As Marriott deliberately keeps its original tacky Polynesian decoration, the place cannot be described as ultra fashionable, but who needs to be trendy when one is already a legend?
