By far our best night in Athens! We arrived around midnight and ate wonderful food, listened to incredible live music, and felt like we went back in time among the locals. Also - it is so incredibly reasonable! An additional two thumbs up to the amazing Lita (sp?) who took care of us all night and was so incredibly sweet and lovely - don’t miss this place!
Wonderful evening at this beautiful taverna, every dish we had was incredible and very generous portions. We ordered a lot initially and were warned it might be too much so we cut down and were still defeated.
Liza and Stefan were the perfect hosts and kept us fed and entertained all night.
I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Greek taverna with a friendly atmosphere and great food
We had such a lovely evening at this restaurant. We came twice in 3 days in Athens. Beautiful Greek cuisine with very affordable price. The service is also very good and the lady serving the plates is very sweet and caring to her guests! Would definitely recommend
We stumbled across this lovely restaurant, luckily enough we arrived around 9.30pm, as shortly after all tables were full!
The atmosphere and surrounding were truly wonderful, lighting and decorations were superb.
As for the food, it was absolutely delicious, the salads were presented in an amazing fashion, the meatballs with orzo were outstanding, the courgette balls less so.
The service was incredible, given that the restaurant was sooo busy, Liza and her colleague were incredibly busy but were attentive and efficient and extremely friendly.
This is an experience one must not miss.
Also, the total bill for the evening including a litre of wine was ridiculously cheap!!!
Would recommend over and over!!
Thanks Liza!!! :)
This place is absoloutly incredible. The food is outstanding, and so is the service. The people who work here are so friendly and attentive. There are so many vegetarian options, and the atmosphere is so cozy and warm. It's extremly local, so great for an authentic greek experience. This place is a must visit whilst in Athens. I wish I was staying longer in Athens so I could go back!!
