World renowned as the cradle of democracy and with the iconic Acropolis still standing proudly at its center, Athens is at once a living history lesson and a lively modern European capital. Its character varies from the busy commercial avenues connecting its two main squares, Syntagma and Omonia, to the tight-knit alleys of the touristic old town areas of Plaka and Monastiraki. The city has a busy nightlife scene: its convivial tavernas and buzzing bars in neighborhoods such as Exarchia, Psirri and Gazi are packed and lively well into the night.

The wrap takes street food (in Greece) to a new level. Low key, modern design and clean environment. Most importantly the food is tasty & healthy. The available wraps cover all appetites and preferences, from meat eaters to vegetarians. The wraps are hearty, and justify the price. It's off the beaten path for visitors, but only a short deviation if you are in the Syntagma area. It's not a tourist trap, and the people are friendly!

Fine Mess Smokehouse

Fine Mess is Athens' authentic smokehouse. We stay true to the low and slow barbecue philosophy and we bring it together with contemporary fine dining, to create a unique experience. We are a very fine mess!

Reviewed By GeorginaO

The food was good but the service was outstanding and mad the whole experience so enjoyable. We had a kit he tour and was explained how the bbq smokers worked which was fascinating. Food we chose the shrimp pops - not to be missed. The ribs, brisket and chicken all outstanding. Finished with the cheesecake that was really good. The cocktails to start also very worth trying. Fabulous evening and really good value. Strongly recommend. Thank you!!

Unique food combined with special cocktails!

Go there, you won’t regret it. Very cutely decorated restaurant/bistro, a walk of maybe 15 minutes away from the Akropolis. Their signature dish is something like the Dutch poffertjes, but with a twist: they are filled with either sweet or savory stuff and both is to die for. They offer other foods as well, see the menu I attached to this review (everything is for staying in or taking it away). Vegetarians definitely are catered for. Their draft beer is ice cold and good. The ladies who run this restaurant are very nice as well, attentive, friendly and English-speaking. You’ll notice that they like what they do and that they are genuinely happy when you like their food (and tell them so).I’ll be here at least once every time I come to Athens again!

Alficon is a small and intimate restaurant. It may seem slightly out of your way, but GO!It will be worth the trip. Very welcoming and attentive service in an intimate home like setting. The food is excellent, I had a stunning spinach, pear and kiwi salad and the real show stopper is goat with fava beans. Delicious! Great wine too. An brilliant evening and highly recommended place.We thank you for your positive review of Alificon ! Feeling at home and enjoying your meal with a great glass of wine, is what we want our dinners to experience. Looking forward to see you again.
