    by physiar
    This basement taverna, with enormous wine barrels in the back room and an ancient column supporting the roof in the front room, has been serving delicious deep-fried codfish and eggplant, as well as chops and stews, since 1865. The wine comes from the family vineyards. There are few pleasures greater than sipping retsina -- if you wish, you can buy a bottle to take away -- while you watch the cook turn out unending meals in his absurdly small kitchen. Don't miss the delicious skordalia (garlic sauce), equally good with cod, eggplant, bread -- well, you get the idea.

    Usually closed between June and September.

    Damigo's Taverna: Don't forget the Garlic Dipping Sauce

  • This restaurant is the cutest thing that I have ever seen. It's hard to find amongst the lavish looking restuarants around it. Family owned, it quite possibly could be the oldest family owned restaurant in Athens (don't quote me on it though!). As you walk down the steep stairs to the restuarant, you automatically are taken in by the smells coming from the open kitchen. Cute little chairs, tables, menu's... and workers.

    The Fried Fish was SOO good!! Combine that with their lovely table wine and you are on your way to having the BEST time. DON'T FORGET THE GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE!

  • it's this little hole in the wall that leads to a room below, right on a busy street full of bigger flashier restaurants.

    the menus are a bit beaten, but the food is really really good, and you must order the house wine!

    they're known for their fried cod, and if you get that and you love garlic you have to have that with the famous garlic sauce! pretty powerful stuff but really really good.

    of course get the greek salad.

    i had the chicken souvlaki, and it was yummy too.
