  • With its polished concrete walls and floor, water garden and coloured lighting, 48 has become one of the trendiest restaurants in town.

  • Romantic split-level restaurant-bar built into a cliff overlooking the sea. Creative fish, meat and cheese mezes.

  • Ancient Epicurean classics, such as suckling pig stuffed with liver, apple, chestnuts and raisins, are served here, much as they would have been back in the 3rd century BC.

  • Old factory turned sleek showcase for innovative food. Greek ingredients are twisted with international techniques in dishes like sardine tempura with fig vinaigrette and preserved lemons.

  • From the gimmicky entrance (playing on the name, “left-right”) to the cheeky toilets, you’re in for a good time. But the real draw is the food. (see Aristera-Dexia)

  • A beloved central Athens institution, especially among journalists, who trade stories at the marble-topped tables. The plentiful mezes are consistently good.

  • A good place to warm up on a cold winter’s weekend – the crackling fireplace casts a glow over everything. Go for a bowl of hot, aromatic stifado stew (see Stifado).

  • The name means “codfish”, which this local favourite has been serving up, with strong garlic sauce, for 140 years.

  • A 100-year-old-plus underground hideaway with justly famous fried cod and its very own ancient column. (see Bakaliarakia tou Damigou)

  • In the gardens of an exquisite Neo-Classical mansion, this elegant bar and restaurant draws an attractive crowd.
