Are these details incorrect?

1. Café Aeolis

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

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.
3. Café Avissynias

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

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.
5. To Varoulko

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

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)
7. Kitrino Podilato

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

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

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

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)
