Commis Chef

A NEW CHAPTER

At The Ilisian, Galaxy returns in 2027 as Galaxy Dispensary, an eclectic gastrobar where the bar, the kitchen and entertainment share the spotlight.

A contemporary interpretation of the golden age of cocktail culture, where classic European bar cuisine meets modern gastronomic indulgence.

With a long-standing place in Athens’ social history, Galaxy enters a new era, bringing together contemporary gastronomy, a vibrant social atmosphere and a distinctive approach to hospitality.

A familiar name. A whole new Galaxy.
