Anglais in Athens is in Monastiraki but I barely see any foreigners. It's not just another rooftop cafe/bar — it's the best, most local of them all...

MOMO is a cafe/bar/restaurant in Athens with an exquisite backyard that will give you back the time that's been stolen from you...

Matchpoint's interior is tastefully decorated, and the music is lovely but my favorite is sitting outside enjoying my drink and watching the world go by.

"Melanthiou street" used to be an Athens street where drug addicts frequented - now it's a cyclist's joint, full of refreshing bars and creative studios.

"Stani" (est 1931) in the centre of Athens is a little patisserie that offers milk products like yogurt and rice pudding. I love its sweet galaktompoureko!

"Feyrouz Confectionery" in Athens makes oriental sweets, incl. künefe and vegan baklava! You must try their creations, and the shop itself is beautiful...
