Line Athens Athens
Grapeless wine
Zoe from Athens
Line is located in Kato Petralona, a residential, quiet neighborhood, not renowned for its nightlife in contrast to Ano Petralona (roughly translated as Lower/Upper Petralona, respectively). The place is located in a small street where an art gallery was based. There is a small leafy courtyard before entering Line but the highlight is the imposing industrial space.
The team behind Line is big on sustainability, therefore, any "leftovers" from the kitchen are recycled into wine or syrup. The innovation found in Line is the why-in, meaning the grapeless wine which is produced via the same process as traditional wines, but fruit, such as figs or pomegranate, is used in the place of grapes. The why-ins taste intensely and uniquely. Line experiments with fermentation on the premises, producing beer and tasty sourdough bread. Of course, coffee and cocktails are also served and there is a carefully designed food menu with conventional or less conventional dishes such as the buns made with squid ink or seaweed. Drinking and dining in Line will be an experience worth remembering.

Mandragoras
Every time is like the first time
There are always dishes of the day in addition to the set menu, so no two visits to Mandragoras are ever the same. And kontosouvli is always available.

Mouries in Kolonos
Authentic Athenian
It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

Αdding flavour to life
Every time I cross Evripidou Street, I am overwhelmed by the aroma of cinnamon, pepper, and oregano, and images of Eastern bazaars come to mind.

Where the Cretan heart beats
My two favorites are Sfakianopita with honey and the famous Dakos. Every plate is cooked in olive oil with lots of rosemary.

Pazari Rakosyllekton
Scavenger's flea market
"Pazari Rakosyllekton" is the Athens Scavengers Market. It has an oriental feeling and it's a good idea for getting cheap, used souvenirs here!

Stani
Sweet temptation
"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!
