my favorite cafe

I love their food here! You can't go wrong with anything. I love the traditional lemon soup, meditterranean salad, all the artopitas and sandwiches. The desserts are excellent too. My only issue is that service is rather slow (I know it's Greek, but it is definitely not Europe here) and the iced tea - they charge for a second glass. (which ends up being a surprise on the bill when you see about $6 for tea). I'll just stick with water.

A Favorite Spot
By Jenny from Suburbs, June 10, 2008

While attending UIC, Artopolis was one of my favorite spots in Greektown. I try to go back when I visit the city. A cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The pizza is great and the french fries are to die for. Don't miss the beautiful desserts.

YUM

Their desserts are so yummyyyyyyyy!
We got:
Mango Yogurt Mouse - light and fluffy and not overpowering with a slightly tart accent to the sweetness of the mango
Sour Cherry Ice Cream - French vanilla ice cream with a sour cherry syup; I don't even like cherries but it was delicious. And it was a LOT
Chocolate Raspberry Cake - Very rich - almost overpowering, but the ice cream was a good compliment. You should be a true fan of dark, thick chocolate if you're going to order this.

Way above average!

I ordered from here based on the reviews off this website and I was not disappointed at all. They were much better than I expected. The portions are very generous and their delivery service and lunch supplies were fabulous. Not to mention their cordinator Maria was very friendly and helpful. We ordered lunch for 30 people and had enough to feed 10 more. Pricing, service, food, quality, portions...everything great!

The atmosphere is just a little different. We were expecting a full greek type menu and it's not really. It's got lots of neat sandwiches, pizzas, and baked goods, but not a full menu of pastitio, moussaka, etc. (they DO have those but they only offer them as specials.) Nonetheless, the food is really top notch. We had melanzana appetizer, chicken riganatti, and spanikopita. Appetizer, spinach pie, and side veggies were all outstanding. Chicken was a little over-cooked but they did the spices on it really well. The desserts in their bakery are, well, stunning. We took home a dark chocolate mousse and walnut tart. They were heavenly. It's very casual so don't make it a night-on-the-town place, but we really enjoyed it and will go back without a doubt.

The only way to make this place even better would be to offer a great brunch menu. And to offer pommes frites for lunch (currently it's not until after 2pm for some reason!). Great atmosphere, great food....offer Saturday/Sunday brunch and it would take the long lines across the street from Meli!

Great experience! My wife and I went there for something new. We had the best lasagna we had ever had. My greek friend commented "See? We make Italian food even better than the Italians!" and he was right. My wife has a strawberry martini and it was very tasty, yet a bit too strong. I had the Esspresso Martini and was very pleased. The atmosphere was very open and relaxed and the staff very very prompt and curteous.

Try anything from the dessert menu. My favorite is the walnut torte. Oh yes, and the food is good, too.

We stumbled across this cafe after getting our hair done at c-salon. i was very impressed with the quality of food, service and prices - it was great! i am pretty picky when it comes to cleanliness/atmosphere etc. this place def. met my standards. fyi - smoking is permitted on the lower level (i don't mind but others may...). give it a try - excellent greek cafe

I love this place. The sandwiches are great (Portobella Chevre, AWESOME) and the soups, salads, little pizza, artopitas...never had anything bad there. Their bakery items are incredible. Just a fine dining experience and easy take out as well. Highly recommend Artopolis!
