Line Athens Athens
Grapeless wine
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.

Talking about street food
My favourite burger is the Bacon Mushroom Melt, and my favourite sandwich is the Tika, which is slightly spicy and causes a chain of flavour explosions!

Shedia
Human is the answer
Shedia is heavily focused on sustainability and inclusivity: pets have their own menu, the menu is also offered in Braille, and the oil used is produced by the Niarchos park trees and then recycled.

Teras
A pretty monster
Teras is full of contradictions: it is unconventionally named (teras means 'monster' in greek) in an ugly way but it is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy your drink.

Kalos Aeras
Fine dining at home
Although Kalos Aeras is located on a busy road, there is no noise penetrating the leafy veranda, and stepping into the house is like time-traveling back to the 60s.
