  • 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)

  • Ladies who lunch and writer-types fill this bright, trendy café for light lunches and, later, the tables outside for wine and cocktails.

  • While away Sunday afternoons overlooking the Mona-stiraki market in this hidden belle époque gem. French and Arab food and music.

  • Mediterranean cuisine in a minimalist dining space brought to hip Psiri by the owners of Spondi.

  • Serves innovative food in style. Try the smoked salmon with whisky. Plous Podilato is a sister restaurant in Piraeus (see Plous Podilato).

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

  • Fun, high-quality, modern taverna-food-with-a-twist. Share one massive salad among five, then pass around bite-sized spanakopitas (spinach pies) and balsamic chicken.

  • From the red-carpeted entrance to the lovely marble roof garden (with a gorgeous view), fine surroundings match exquisite Franco-Mediterranean cuisine. (see Pil Poule)

  • Athens’ most famous souvlaki joint has been serving up hot, juicy, thinly sliced beef, slathered with cool garlicky tzatziki, wrapped in tender pittas, since the 19th century.

  • The menu at Athens’ top fish restaurant changes daily depending on what the sea brings forth. Sleek modern wood-and-glass interior.
