I have been living in Athens for 44 years and today was my first day ever going to this restaurant. It did not disappoint! Fast service. Good customer service. Great presentation. And it tastes great. It isn't over-seasoned oh, it isn't salty oh, it's just right.

Food was absolutely amazing, my first time here, I got the 2 piece plate with broccoli casserole and Mac n cheese, my sister got the chicken finger plate with black eyed peas and squash casserole, chicken was fresh, juicy, and full of flavor and paired with hot sauce was like heaven in my mouth, my favorite side was definitely the squash casserole, I had to go back and get a plate to go for later it was that good. It’s a little small comfy building, the only thing is the construction happening around it which makes annoying to get here and park. I will definitely be coming back soon.

Super yummy, generous plates of all my favorite things: greens, fish, cornbread, fried chicken, mac 'n cheese. Friendly and fast service. Glad we stopped here on our way through Georgia!

Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Athens

Athens

Great food and extremely nice staff. We booked a table ( you can do it on their website) and were seated immediately. They offered a small appetizer and also the dessert. Each main dish is between 6€ and 11€ and they are definitely worth it

Really great Greek authentic Greek food for a very good price. We ordered two starters and two main courses, which was more than enough for the two of us. The service was very friendly and the food came quickly. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone visiting Athens!

We saw this place recommended on social media and given the wildly positive reviews on Google, made a point to stop here for dinner in our itinerary.

We ordered four dishes - can’t quite remember the names but the pictures are below - and out of the four, one was superb and the other three was decent. Service was quick, though somewhat impersonal - understandable given the large volume of diners here. That said, they did accommodate two unannounced guests for us (we booked a table for two but ended up being a group of four), for which we were very appreciative. The decor was charming amidst a very noisy ambiance.

Overall, it was a perfectly nice place for dinner, but that was about it. We just didn’t find too much that was special about this place that warranted the rave reviews.

Authentic and juicy burgers with exceptional onion rings. A great place to eat quality burgers with family and friends. You can definitely distinguish the quality of the burger, just by the pattie alone. Well worth the travel!

A great little place for burgers- both meat and vegetarian. In house made dressings and sides. Delicious and reasonably priced. Service was super friendly. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that we had to sit on the crowded off porch and it was so cold. Otherwise, a 5 star meal!

Good gourmet burgers. The fries were not anything special. It's good that you can save by just ordering what you want and not have to pay for extras you don't want. The staff were friendly. The place has outdoor and indoor seating. Overall I would reccomend it to others or go there again.

Great experience! I couldn’t choose a better restaurant to celebrate my birthday! The bread was delicious and the fish too. A little expensive compared to other restaurants in Atene but it is correct.

The setting is peaceful and tranquil. I had the pork fillet encrust with truffle which was amazing. Tender with a sweet after taste. My wife had the beef cheeks also very tender lots of flavor. Finished off the the lemon sobert which was very 👍👍👍.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Local produce masterfully prepared to what is in my opinion Michelin star standard - won’t be long until this restaurant is awarded a star. One the few quality restaurants I ate at in central Athens.

Amazing seafood!! So insanely tasty! Our waiter was also extremely friendly, patient & knowledgeable about the menu/specials & the beer selections. Can't wait to go back!

The food is nice and the server is very friendly. I like the fish and grit. It’s delicious! Oyster Rockefeller is tasty too!

Outstanding dining experience...outdoor seating on deck made setting casual,  but food quality was high end...Lemon Sherry Scallops over Red Mule grits was delicious as was Red Snapper fish...enjoyed Buffalo Shrimp appetizer...looking forward to my next visit

great customer service. I am a regular for take out but this one night I dined in alone. The waiter was super attentive. The food at this location has always been great.

Although we have Never been to Sr.Sol number 2 yet..
I Must say that me and my honey Eat at this Sr.Sol pretty often , definitely would say that they do have good customer service, mostly affordable prices that are not too outrageous and great food. Never leave unsatisfied ❤️✌️🥰

Ordered the empanadas and got maybe 1 gram of beef between the two. But I did get 3 grams of cooking oil that oozed out of the tortilla. Hard to breath in this place for all the oil in the air. Price doesnt match the meal either. Dont bother.

I had a great experience at The Catch 22 Gastropub! Being Cuban myself I had to try their Cuban sandwich, and let me just say it was really good! Great flavors and textures, not too greasy on the pork which I like. The fries were good as well. The staff was super friendly and attentive. And the place was cozy and clean! If you’re passing thru Athens and you need a quick bite and good drinks you should definitely try them out!

Love this place. Awesome food and great staff. I get something different every time and it’s always delicious. Best potato salad I know of. Highly recommended…even for Karen since she has her own parking spot 😜. Remember to always tip your bartender and servers well. Enjoy!

It is a game day tradition. The Porknado is the absolute best Burger in Athens, make sure you add an egg! Can't tell you how much we like this place, it is amazing.

Seeing EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF on the receipt: PRICELESS

These were the best gyros we ever had. In fact, we dined there twice since the food was so good. This place was recommended to us by a local chef, who mentioned their pitas are made the traditional way, rather than mass-produced. The quality of the food and flavor were superb. Next time we're in Athens, this will be our first dining spot.

Delicious gyros with quality ingredients. We tried the chicken pita and pork special, both were very tasty. The pitas are a bit small, consider ordering 2 per person if you are hungry.

This is the place to try gyros. Best in town. We enjoyed every single time we visited here during our stay in Athens. And I love their smoky taste. Highly recommended.

Best pork skewers in town. The skewers comes with adequate portion of french fries. No need to order extra. Bread is amazing. Friendly staff. Sitting outside option only. No beef option. No pita or gyros as well

Elvis themed late night skewers with piles of potatoes on the street corner next to Karameios bar. Great vibe to sit on the sidewalk and have a beer with a freshly grilled pile of skewers and potatoes.

We love this place so much that we came here twice in three nights. Probably the best grilled skewers we've had in Athens. The staff are friendly, the food is great value (1.80€ per skewer), there's a menu in clear English and it's named after Elvis - what's there not to like?

The pork sausage with leek is probably the best of the lot, but you can't go wrong with any of the other options, including the pricier but generous serving of pork belly. Every dish comes with a plate of fries and bread, even if you only order a single skewer.

One of the staff members recognised us on our second visit and poured us each a small shot of vodka (I think) on the house. If we liked it plenty before that, he sealed the deal for us. If you're in the neighbourhood, you can't go wrong with this place.

I couldn't possibly love this place more!! Seriously! Food is out of this world! Friendly & helpful staff. And the room was sooo well decorated & cute, with a large open window to enjoy the Greek sky (there was an awesome thunderstorm the night we stayed) & you just feel like you're home 🥰 OH, and the shower head and pressure?! It is literally perfection! It was like the most cozy hug! Lol truly my favorite place ever.

Lastly,  the location puts you right where you want to be. You can walk nearly anywhere (farthest walk would be 25 minutes, but not necessarily somewhere you have to go). Oh & make sure you inform yourself of local taxi scams!! They are very good at getting you to pay extra.  Seriously just Google it, you'll be happy you did 😉

Restaurant: really nice atmosphere in the heart of Athens! The food is good in quality and quantity, but it certainly does not deserve a Michelin Guide distinction. The service was quite unresponsive and relatively slow.

Very nice ambient in the center of Athens with good service and friendly stuff (in our case) but it was quite expensive for such mediocre food quality. The boiled greens salad was a bit sour and our main courses ( mushroom risotto, sea food orzo and spaghetti with feta pesto) were very salty. The freshly baked bread with olive oil was very good and we enjoyed the wine and the coffee at the end.

We visited CTC in February on holiday. From what I understand it’s a relatively new Michelin star restaurant, so we were excited to try it.

Right from the get-go we had a good impression of the restaurant - even before arriving - as the restaurant maintained attentive email correspondences with us to confirm the reservation, check for dietary restrictions, and inform us of COVID requirements. The actual dinner began with an introduction of the chef’s overall culinary philosophy, which was a nice thematic overture to the experience.

The food was excellent both in presentation and taste. While the dishes weren’t the wildest I’ve tasted or seen, every course had something interesting about it and nothing was boring. The chef’s creativity was palpable throughout the tasting menu, keeping us entertained as well as well-fed.

Service was impeccable. In particular, the wait staff did an outstanding job introducing each course and keeping the presentation more than just a list of ingredients. The restaurant’s clearly out to tell a cohesive gastronomical story (instead of merely assembling a list of the chef’s best hits), for which we were appreciative.

Lastly, it’s 85 euros per person … which is a steal when compared vs. other similarly talented Michelin starred restaurants.

CTC is located in a developing area in Athens, in beautiful building with a really nice outdoor space.
The restaurant recently got its first Michelin star and for a good reason.
The entire menu was a great fine dining experience.
Best plates: Well, all of them. I would note that the cauliflower and the peanuts desert were outstanding.
Flat plates: There wasn't any plate that was bad. If I could make a comment I would say that the "spinach pie" was more salty than I would like, the brioche and the bread were not of my liking.

We had the 11 course tasting menu. All the dishes were fantastic! Very tasty and state of the art in the looks too! The wine was phenomenal too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a gastronomy experience in Athens.

I haven't been here in years. My son suggested it for lunch on Valentine's Day. Nothing has changed - great staff, friendly atmosphere, amazing and hearty food. I had two buffalo chicken tacos and black beans. It was just as I remembered it, spicy, good, warm temperature, lots of veggies. I love how the owner always checks in the customers. I hope I don't wait as long next time to visit

My wife and I shared a Wedge Salad and a Club Sandwich which was delicious and more than enough for both of us. The sweet potato bites were good also. One thing that impressed me was the friendly and helpful staff. They consistently checked on us and were very attentive to our needs.

We were there last week and a roach was on the flatware at the end of open salad bar.  The trays are not getting clean, and I am concerned that they are not being sanitized.  The open pitchers of water and tea are left in dining room where the napkins, condiments, and open relishes are kept.  Customers have to reach around them or over them to get needed items.  Overall cleanliness and food quality, I give a 3 out of 5.

We stayed in Athens two nights and went here at least three times! These things are addicting! My favorite was the original honey and cinnamon. They have tons of flavors and ice cream to go with them so you won’t be disappointed. But you have to at least try to original once and I am sure you will go back for more! These are a great price and they give you a good amount. I ordered these on some of the islands and they were more expensive.

For non Greeks: Lukumades are like donut holes, but crispy on the outside and so moist on the inside. They are deep fried pieces of heaven that don’t even taste greasy!Lukumades is one of my favors Greek snacks /desserts!

It’s good and you will definitely love it if you are into sweets. These are like fried donut balls and coated with syrup and with a scoop of ice cream on the side. In the Netherlands you can compare it with tiny “oliebollen”. I only tried the most normal thing on the menu with only syrup and it was nice, but not really special. However, it is a must try when in Athens!

I’m not the biggest donut fan but if you like sweets this is the place to go. They load up the delicious fried dough balls with tons of sauce of your choosing, and it’s a super decadent filling dessert. Staff was friendly and fast, but cons are the long wait time to get our food (20 min) and the lack of seating (seems to just be a problem with all the restaurants on that street).

This Cretan restaurant has a wonderful changing menu with daily specials. The staff were very helpful. We sat outside to eat on a February evening, there were heaters to keep us warm. The food was very good, fresh ingredients,  interesting recipes and fantastic well balanced courses.

A small, cosy restaurant located in a nice neighborhood of Athens. Great, creative dishes with fresh ingredients. The staff is super friendly, attentive and professional. Highly recommend it for someone who wants to dine like an Athenian 🙂 Will definitely revisit when back to Athens!

The food is of incredible quality! The menu has a great variety of flavours and the staff are just wonderful. One our favourite places in Athens.

Excellent wine bar in the heart of downtown Athens in between the history Plaka and bustling Monastiraki neighborhoods. They have an extensive wine list both by the glass and bottle. Tons of local Greek wines to try. Food offerings include chips and crackers for snacks with Greek cheese and charcuterie as well. Best place we visited in Athens for a pre dinner glass of wine or just to go and unwind for an hour or two. Can't recommend it enough.

Lovely wine bar with seating inside and outside. We got a table outside and just had a couple of glasses of wine before going to dinner. It was great to sit outside and just watch people walk past. The menu of wine by the glass was not large but it gives you a chance to taste some Greek wine - and it also contained a map that show you the various wine regions of Greece. Great place to stop by if you want a glass of wine before you go out to eat dinner.

One of the greatest wine bars that I have visited before. Also, the music it’s incredible. Don’t miss the chance to spend a incredible afternoon in this place.
