Step back in time at this authentic Greek restaurant. Diporto has been serving customers delicious food for 130+ years, and it is still one of the best restaurants in Athens. The unassuming vibes of this place make the food taste even that much better. 

Loved by locals for good reason. All day this restaurant is bustling with people eating the best gyros and souvlaki. 

Linou Soumpasis is a casual and contemporary taverna with a dedication to delicious dishes made with organic ingredients. Here it is all about back to the basics: steel tables, simple glassware, silver candles and produce-driven food. The result? One of our go-to spots for dinner in Athens. 

Manari in Downtown Athens is a modern imagining of the traditional taverna with a cosy vibe and a no-waste approach to its meaty menu. The latest project from New York-born Ari Vezené, the visionary who has helped to shape Athens’s restaurant landscape with Birdman and Nolan among others, most of its menu is cooked over an open wood fire. Plates are generous in the traditional style, so come with a big table to share platters of chicken, chops and steaks by the kilo, alongside elevated versions of traditional salads.
