Athens Food Guide
June was perfect for visiting Athens. The weather was great and we could sit outside all the time during our meals. Athens offers a great variety of different restaurants, not to mention all those great rooftops.
Here are a couple of suggestions for eating in Athens!

Seychelles Restaurant
The only good thing of our AirBnB was having discovered the Seychelles Restaurant. It was our host’s favourite one and we couldn’t blame her. The ambience is lovely and they have a small choice of great dishes. We weren’t so hungry and went for some grilled cheese and sardines along with beer & wine.

Rooftop tip
A for athens
A rooftop couldn’t be better for a relaxing sundowner. Athens has many great rooftop terraces and we chose A For Athens. The hotel with its rooftop is known for its great location with view onto the Monastiraki square and the Acropolis. The drinks were really good. If you decide to come for dinner here, you should definitely book a table on weekends!

Best souvlaki in Athens
O Kostas
I could definitely live of Gyros pita. But a great souvlaki is a delicious change! We found O Kostas in our guide and were awarded with the best souvlaki in Athens. Even though the queue wasn’t that long, we were waiting quite for a bit. The delicious Souvlaki definitely made up for it. Perfect for a fast and inexpensive lunch. Note: only open until 17:00!

Food-flagship store in Athens
Yoleni’s
I took a picture of the façade of YOLENI’S because I loved it a lot. I didn’t know that apparently a great food flagship store with great restaurants hid behind. Given the fact that I’ve got a picture of it, I can also include it in my recommendations. Will try it next time!

Brunch in Athens
Nice n easy
Our first choice the IT Restaurant was closed on Sundays. Luckily, Nice N Easy was close by so we stopped there for a nice brunch. The café/restaurant offers everything what the modern brunch heart desires – zoodles with pesto, Oeuf Benedict or pancakes. Everything super healthy of course! In fact, Nice N Easy is one of the few restaurants in Athens, which focuses on very healthy and clean dishes. The terrace outside was full when we arrived but it is lovely inside too. Otherwise, you should book in advance.
- By the way, they also have a second dependance on Mykonos!

Little Kook
Little Kook is a fantasy café in the heart of Psyrri. It’s definitely worth a visit for all the fairytale lovers. The prices don’t come very cheap but the experience is unique.

Restaurants in Athens
Ble papagalos
Last but not least, a lovely bar tip called Ble Papagalos, engl. blue parrots. It’s a cozy bar with great music on weekends and delicious cocktails. Make sure to have a look at the interior too! We enjoyed an aperitif on the terrace and let the evening fade away!
