Wow! We really liked this place! Most of the restaurants in Athens will approach you to eat with them, saying, "We are the best," etc. . ., and most will give you their card. Take this card! Their "street hustler" is the best in the business and you could spend an hour just watching him work. He is selective on who he approaches. If you are a family or a couple, have your hubby walk a bit behind your group. A single man is rarely approached, same for a woman with children and no man. Sexist maybe, but it works. You can sit and people watch with a reasonably priced bottle of wine or beer for hours during the day. Example: most expensive beer here 2.30€ -- next door, same view, cheapest beer 4.50€!!!!
We ended up eating here for three meals. Each meal was delicious. The specials of the day are served FAST and fresh. They serve traditional Greek food, as well as fresh fish. We did not try the fish because we like Greek food too much! The various meals we had were: roast pork with roasted potatoes, a house salad (great, loaded with goodies), lamb with spinach in lemon sauce, lamb fricassée, moussaka (WOW, now that was great!), and spaghetti and pizza (for the kids). By dessert, we usually were too full, so we waited to have ice cream. An appetizer, full dinner, bottle of wine, and pop for a family of four cost 40 euros or less!!! You can''t go wrong here.
This is one of the largest and best cafés in the Plaka with seating on both sides of the street as well as inside. You can sit on the street or under the trees in the park. Outside is where all the action is! If you sit outside and it gets chilly, they have heaters.
