Lefteris o Politis
Simply delicious souvlaki
A well-cooked pita, a juicy burger, tomato, and onion are a unique and tasty combination. It is the epitome of delicious simplicity.

Matchpoint bar
Calm, cool and collected
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.

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).
