Portatif cafe-
patisserie in Kolonaki (on Sina Street) brings to mind a romantic
Parisian bistro and takes us to one of the picturesque corners of the
French capital somewhere in Marais.
Standing out for the fresh, homemade sweets prepared daily in its
workshop by Tasos Lytras (owner and confectioner) and his team, Portatif
has been established as the top meeting place in Kolonaki for sweet
treats without guilt!
Emphasis is given to quality, with its menu being full of delicious
proposals that will make your choice difficult. Here you will try
cheesecake with forest fruits or cheesecake caramel, tarts in seven
different flavours (banoffee, bueno, lemon, chocolate, pastry cream with
strawberries or seasonal fruit, pistachio, lila pause) depending always
on seasonal raw ingredients, millefeuille, profiterole and bueno
profiterole, chocolate pie, eclairs with various fillings (chocolate,
pistachio).
Some of its unique proposals include tiramisu, apple pie, bitter
chocolate tart, American cheesecake (baked in the oven) and homemade
butter croissants, plain or with three different fillings (chocolate,
bueno, pastry cream with strawberries).
Some of its savoury proposals include Quiche Lorraine, individual pizza
prepared in the workshop and handmade, homemade cheese pie.
Special emphasis, however, has been given to coffee as well, as you get
to choose between two coffee varieties, with the single variety coffee
from Brazil (renewed every six months) being used for hot coffees and
Lanello for cold coffees. Its pluses include the fact that behind the
bar there are specialized barristi, who express their artistic concerns
through impressive latte art. For tea lovers, the carefully selected
flavours form the Tea Route with fantastic aromas suit all tastes.
You should definitely try the hot chocolate beverages, made with melted
pure chocolate, not powder, in four flavours: milk chocolate, dark
chocolate, gianduja chocolate and white chocolate, while for more
intricate flavours choose Portatif chocolate with dark chocolate,
cinnamon and orange or the one with milk chocolate and star anise.
