Top 10 Places to Eat
-
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)
