One of the most known restaurants in Athens. Authentic Greek cuisine, very welcoming interiors and florid yard, friendly service. Try Dakos (barley rusk tomato and cheese salad), smoked eggplant salad, Pastourma pie, kontosouvli (tender pork on the spit) and pot baby goat. Good VFM, a bit on the expensive side, justified though particularly from the quality of ingredients.

A - thanksGod - relatively unknown Italian restaurant, hidden in a small alley, very close to the place where Western civilization was born 26 centuries ago. True al dente pasta - don't miss the highlight - the one after which the restaurant was branded as well as the linguine with cod, tomato sauce and peperoncino. Most probably the best tiramisu in Athens.

Best SOUVLAKI in town, following a stroll around Syntagma sq., at the very centre of the city. Real, authentic taste, with only the legitimate ingredients (meat, tomato, onion, parsley, a bit of yogurt, salt and paprika) - forget here the fries, lettuce, mustard, mayo, ketchup and all the relevant crap. Get your change back with a metal tweezers! Midday to early afternoon.

This is another place to visit, in the quest for the real Souvlaki. Located 2 mins walk from Omonoia sq., it is Costas's (Syntagma sq.) rival awe - and the 2nd best souvlaki in Athens. Order 2, grab an ice-cold beer and while eating standing outside, observe one of the most heterogeneous and turbulent zones of the city. You're also in the very middle of a red-light area, so be extra vigilant.

Superb pies (cheesepie, minced meat pie, mushroom pie, chicken pie and more). Ask for the kuru cheesepie, then have one more. One cannot resist. At the very centre of the Athens's commercial core, Syntagma sq.

A nice place to enjoy good Greek cuisine and share dishes, following a walk at Keramikos/Gazi area, one of the most lively and hype places in Athens. Genuine welcoming, attention to detail, care, very descent food, particularly the "sioufichta" pasta with "siglino", tagliatelles with spinach and goat cheese and smoked aubergine salad with salami. A must.

Remarkable restaurant, ideal for any part of the day. Very inviting decoration, service with a smile, great music, live jazz events sometimes. During breakfast/brunch go for the salmon bagel or the scrambled eggs with tomato. In the evening, don't miss the grilled lamb or the beef orzo.

- The place - for quality meat, grilled in the charcoal JOSPER oven. With both expensive but also considerably cheaper meat cuts, this place will leave no meat eating fan complaining. T-bone and porterhouse steaks is an excellent selection, but one should also try the tartar and the meatballs as well. Fresh salads, nice service.

Most likely the best sandwich place in South Mediterranean! It is not only about the quality and freshness of the ingredients, it is also about the amazing variety of stuff you can add to your selection of bread. Numerous cold cuts, grilled veggies, cheese and sauces selection, refuel yourself while walking towards the Athens historic centre, from the Koukaki/Filopappou area. Mind the opening hours though - it is open Mon-Sat from 10.00 to 17.00 hrs. Excellent choices of fresh juices as well.

A great retreat right in the very centre of Athens, next to the Parliament.

Essentials

A bakery, less than a 2 mins walk from the apt, this is the place to "refuel" yourself prior to starting your long walking experience in Athens, or take stuff back to the apt to prepare a delicious breakfast. Freshly baked pies, cakes, biscuits , all kinds of sweet, really good bread and most probably the best kritsinia in the nearby area.
