In this guide i am going to share with you my best food and alcochol friendly venues after a long taste research that i have made the last 6 years.

ERGON House Athens

The first Foodie Hotel in Europe opened its doors in the center of Athens. . This unique project includes a spectacular marketplace, a modern-day Agora with a constellation of greengrocers, a butcher’s, fishmonger’s and bakery, a delicatessen and roastery, along with a bar and restaurant which celebrate the best of Greek cuisine culture. Start your day with a mouthwatering breakfast in the main floor while you enjoy a spectacular view of the graffitis and the vertical botanic and vegetable garden. My personal bests is the spinach pie (love the crust and the filling), double-fried potatoes with Staka (a Cretan hybrid of yogurt and cheese) and for the sweet lovers I highly recommend the sweet pie with cream!! In addition your can enjoy your cocktail in the amazing roof terrace planted with olive trees that has unbeatable views of the city (roof terrace opens after 17.00).

hoocut

Don’t leave Athens without trying “Souvlaki” in Hoocut! Owned by 5 famous chefs this place became talk of the town and for a reason. You can choose among 4 different meat variations (pork, chicken, beef and lamb) to fill your souvlaki (pita bread is homemade and that’s a big +) My personal best is the lamb variation with french fries, tomato and their signature sauce. In addition you can accompany your meal with various salads (all vegetables originate from small farms around Greece to ensure high quality!)

Le Greche

A mathematician that quit her job and pursued her child dream of making gelato. Le Greche is an ode to the art of pastry (thousands of Athenians and people from all around the world will agree with me). The best ingredients from Greece and Italy mix together in order to create the best gelato. Attention to detail can be seen everywhere (the gelato cones orignate from Napole Italy made by a family with a tradition of 100 years in cone making). My personal best gelato flavour is Baklava-Cream accompanied with a a cup of Italian espresso.

Avocado

For our vegetarian and vegan travelers this a place to go! Enjoy your coffee, a refreshing smoothie or try one of their mouthwatering dishes. All the ingredients are super fresh! My personal best is their delicious satori rolls (oven roasted eggplant rolls filled with metsovone, feta, graviera and tirokafteri cheese, fresh herbs and oven roasted tomato and basil sauce).

Karamanlidika - Τα Καραμανλίδικα του Φάνη

One of my best Taverns in Athens. You will find a big variety of cold cuts, cheese and greek spirits (ouzo, raki, etc). Everything here comes from small producers around Greece. Fanis (the owner) has always a big smile on his face and ensures that every customer will get the most out of this food experience. When the sun is shining take a seat at the back yard, order 3-4 different dishes (called Mezès and come in small plates) accompanied with a glass of Ouzo ( ice is a must) and feel the local vibes while you are in Athens! P.S My personal best is their handmade Dolmadakka (vine leaves stuffed with rice).

Choureal - Choux & Profiterole

Oinoscent

One of my favorite wine bars in Athens. I really like their smart name (Oinos is the Greek word for wine). Here you can find a big variety of wines from around the world (1000+ labels). In addition you can accompany your glass of wine with a plateau of cheese and relax in a non-smoking area. My personal best is a bottle of Malbec Natural (2017) P.S Oinoscent recently expanded and now there is also a wine restaurant addition next to the previous wine bar!

Μαμά ψωμί

The best backery in Athens. Located in Koukaki is a must stop for locals during the day (Greeks accompany almost every dish with freshly baked bread). In addition there is always a big variety of mouthwatering breads and pies to choose from. My personal best is their spinach pie and the hazelnut bread

Peinirli Ionias

Thanks to a friend of mine I learned about this food venue a couple of years ago. The main star here is Turkish pide (baked in wood oven)which comes in many different combinations. My favorite one is with minced meat and cheese (they will ask you if you want melted butter on top of it please say YES!!).

BEAUTY KILLED THE BEAST

It wasn’t the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast. These were the last phrases of King Kong’s first movie of 1933 and that’s how the owners of this all day bar decided to name it! Their brunch became talk of the town and for a reason. Try their mouthwatering bao buns with chicken, peppers and chesse cream for sure! In addition you can drink one of theis many signature coctails based on your personality. My favorite coctail is “Money won’t pay” made with 2 irish whiskies, japanese fruit liqueur and homemade lemonade. Don’t miss it!
