Bakaliarakia tou Damigou

The name means “codfish”, which this local favourite has been serving up, with strong garlic sauce, for 140 years.
Daphne’s

If there’s a celebrity in town, they’re sure to eat in the frescoed dining room of this Neo-Classical mansion.
DeLuxe

Deeply trendy DeLuxe is usually packed with glossy media types enjoying its “sixties lounge” decor and groovy DJs. It also serves stellar food upstairs.
Eden

Greece’s first vegetarian restaurant opened in 1982 and is still a haven for herbivores. The atmosphere is refreshingly bright and nonhippie.
Edodi

The food is superb, unfortunately the space is limited and reservations essential. (see Edodi)
Elliniki Etairia

At this elegant lunchtime stop, the dining room showcases ancient finds, and offers three different, beautifully prepared dishes daily.
Galaktopoleion Amaltheia

Stop by this small, cosy spot on a rainy night. The elaborate antique mirrors, old jukebox, huge selection of teas and crackling woodstove will keep you warm.
Klepsydra

This tiny, quiet bar-café behind the Tower of the Winds is surrounded by flower pots and pastel-hued buildings. Locals love it as it’s nicely tucked away.
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.
