Sea Satin

Drink and eat the chic Greek way at this atmospheric fish taverna and bar where designer-clad 30-somethings dance on the tables to bouzouki-with-a-beat hits.
Skoufaki

Small, dimly lit, smoky and full of artists and actor types, Skoufaki is Kolonaki’s most famous, longest-established alternative café and bar.
Skoufias

A modern touch enhances taverna classics while preserving their flavours.
Spilia

Frequently named as one of the best tavernas in Greece, serving local specialities elevated to their highest culinary potential. Try the braised lamb and baby artichokes, accompanied by wine from local Nemea vineyards.
Spondi

Regularly the critics’ choice for Athens’ best restaurant, Spondi offers faultless cooking. Try sea bass with rose petal and vanilla sauce, and don’t skip their wildly adventurous desserts, such as lotus filled with mandarin sorbet on a bed of banana-pineapple purée, with candied olives, vanilla-scented olive oil, and sauce of basil, saffron and curry – magnificent.
Strofi

The rooftop view is fantastic, the food a cut above typical taverna fare, and the crowd often filled with theatre types from the nearby Herodes Atticus.
Strofi

Traditional favourites and tasty updates in a garden rooftop setting with stunning Acropolis view. (see Strofi)
Symposio

A taste of the earthy food of northern Epirus, where owner Vasilis Paparounas has his own farm. The rich, tender wild boar and venison are fabulous, as is the seasonal dish of river crayfish with wild mushrooms. (see Symposio)
Symposio

Beautiful regional food from northwestern Epirus, most of it raised on the owner’s farm. (see Symposio)
Syrtaki, nr Sounio

The most popular taverna around Sounio, and with good reason. The shaded three-storey seating area has a nice view of the sea, and spit-cooked beef and fresh octopus are reliably tasty.
