    This is the restaurant of choice for many locals in the Plaka, therefore one can expect good food at good prices. Top picks (this list is a collection of dishes I ordered plus bites I got from my girlfriend) include the spanakopita, fish soup, Greek salad, eggplant salad, yoghurt dips, chicken dishes and teh excellent roast potatoes.

    The menu is in several languages including English. At night they have mostly grilled food and it can get pretty festive. These are some of the best waiters in Athens too. Very attentive, fast and they all speak English.

    We found this restaurant in Plaka. Although we were very hungry, we decided to go to a place where we could see groups of locals to make sure that the food was good.

    I don't really remember what we had but I remember that it was really good and the portions were very fair.

  • This is definitly one of the best restaurants that I ate in Plaka. The food was very good with an excellent choice for vegetarians. Its open very late and packed as it gets later in the night. I like the food so much that I in fact went back the second night to the same place.

    My hotel also suggested this restaurent as one of the best and it lived up to the expectation.

    I tased 1/2 the vegetarian items on the Menu and never found a bad dish. Polished off every plate. yummy.

  • This restaurant seems like a typical tourist place because their menu is in English and Japanese. However, the food is better than the other tourist restaurants in the square. Be careful of your bags because this square is a popular hangout for gypsies! The staff at Vyzantio is very sweet and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. They take credit cards.

  • It's hard to beat the atmosphere of dining out beneath the Acropolis, but you do pay for the privilege. However this restaurant prices its menu realistically and is popular with locals year-round.

    I found out about this restaurant thanks to VirtualTourist. It was a great experience, the food was good and cheap. My girlfriend and I both had menu for around $20 total. Only negative point perhaps is that it's crowded (lots of locals eat here), but that's positive if you want to experience Greece to the fullest.

    Vizantino/Byzantino is a must if you want quality and have a tight budget. Great atmosphere too!

    It started with a typical salad, the main dish was souvlaki with rice and fries for her and moussaka for me. There was a glass of white wine included for both of us and as much free water as we wanted (although requesting a new bottle takes a while because the waiters are very busy with attracting new customers). Dessert was ice cream for her and watermelon for me. It was delicious!

    This restaurant is one of the many in Plateia Filomousou Eterias, in Kydathineon. Waiters keep asking you to seat as you pass by...

    Here you can find probably the cheapest menus in Plaka. You can order for a menu WITHOUT DRINK, so is cheaper than the average, that include the drink. You can order then a jar of tap water, that is FREE!

  • Anywhere in Plaka, at night, where you can see the floodlit Acropolis. (Although you will be paying for the view). Try the Taverna Vizantino.
    A lot of locals eat here so there is good food at reasonable prices for the location.

    Stuffed vegetables and grilled seafood.

  • This restaurant is in a square in Plaka full of restaurants at the edges and trees in the middle. Vyzantino has a menu with more than just the usual offerings. You can sit under the trees or under the canopy and enjoy people-watching as you eat.

    I ended up eating two of the usual offerings, the taramosalata (fish roe salad) and the pastitso, both of which were very good.
