A cute localish tavern (sea food too), hidden in a typical Athenian building stoa. A bit slow service. People might be smoking in the stoa.

A great sea food option in the city center. If you’re visiting islands in your trip you might want to skip it considering you’ll get great seafood in the islands.

Suggested mostly for it’s proximity and the picturesque location, hidden in a small alley in Plaka. Bit touristy but honest food. Dates back almost 100 years. Food maybe more salty that is should.
- Try the rice-stuffed vine leafs
