Low & Slow Barbecue. The gastronomy of Smoke in Athens.

Modern Smokehouse.
​Authentic low & slow barbecue.

Bold flavors and unexpected combinations meet wood, fire & smoke, to create barbecue that inspires and excites the senses.

Food should bring joy and people together. We set our table and
welcome you to Fine Mess,

Food for the senses.
​An epicurean exploration.

The striking gastronomic impressions
of a roadtrip that spanned six weeks,
thirty-nine states and twenty-one thousand
kilometers across the U.S.
ignited the spark of inspiration.

​We built our smokers, searched our souls
and opened our doors in 2019.
We've been keeping the fire burning
​ever since.

Meet the Chef.

Elena Kaperda is a chef and pâtissière, the creative force behind this very Fine Mess.

A naturally inventive spirit, she left architecture to follow her love for flavor. Her approach to cooking is simple: gastronomy should engage the senses, stir emotions, and create memorable experiences that bring people together — never pretense.

The seasonal tasting menu. 
​Gastronomy to be shared.

The fire pits light up at dawn
and burn all day. There are no shortcuts
to great Low & Slow. 

We get inspired by barbecue and creole
tradition, modern techniques and
seasonal ingredients to bring excitement
to the senses and unexpected pairings
to the table.

Browse our Menu, along with
our unique Selection of exceptional
American Rye & Bourbon Whiskey.

​Barbecue tradition, local ingredients and the art of smoke. Join us at the Chef's Table.

We set off in the Smoke Room, where you will
be greeted by one of our experienced pitmasters.
Over drinks, we will talk about all-things-
barbecue, observe the restaurant's operations,
and do some smoking of our own.

The Experience concludes with dinner, and our seasonal Tasting Menu, complete with Wine or Old-Fashioned Cocktail Pairing.

What is your passion?

Gastronomy is about experimentation and
creativity. It is the pursuit of exciting the senses.
And it is most definitely our passion.

If you feel the same way, we would like to hear
from you. We are always on the lookout for
driven professionals, team players with a strong
work ethic and a desire to grow, to join our
kitchen brigade and front of house teams.
