DK Travel : Athens : Places to eat

Kollias

Kollias serves reasonably priced delicious fresh fish, and unusual Greek seafood dishes. It is best reached by taxi as it is not central.
Kydatheneon

Intellectuals and locals chew the fat in a garden overlooking the square in summer, or in the stone dining room in winter, at this beautiful vestige of the early 20th century.
Lamda

Two floors of silver-and-holograph walls, up-to-the-minute Eurotechno music, and model-perfect boy clientele make this one of Athens’ hottest gay bars.
Leonidas

A popular place for actors as well as audience to stop on the way to or from performances at the ancient theatre. Good pork chops and stuffed vine leaves, and a nice garden at the back.
Love Café

Much hyped bar-restaurant with loud music, young clientele, and 1970s’ interior of white plastic furniture with splashes of vibrant red.
L’Abreuvoir

Traditional French cuisine is offered in style at this established Athenian society haunt. Specializes in meat dishes with extravagant sauces.
Maistrali

Popular fish taverna, packed with locals and tourists enjoying huge portions of charcoal-grilled fish and a wide selection of ouzo and tsipouro.
Mamacas

Taverna food made stylish, but with a deep respect for its most important element: bright, fresh flavour. (see Mamacas)
Mamacas

Classic taverna fare in the revitalized industrial district. A celebrity favourite.
Margaro

A rather limited but heavenly selection of fresh seafood including whitebait, mullet, bream and shrimps.
