This is the place to be; the local custom food, is all freshly cooked and served to perfection. Try the stuffed vine leaves, then when you get home, YOU try and make them-Good Luck Stuffed vine leaves. Exotica- this may sound weird, but is foil baked pork and herbs-yummy.
Greek food is not simply the Greek food you know of. Travel the country extensively, and you’ll find quite a surprising contrast in the types of food served. The northern part of Greece is a very good example of this. In that region there are more mountains, and the temperatures tend to be quite cooler. The foods are heartier and more robust than in the south. Here you’ll also find more game dishes like venison and rabbit. Yet still, you could sense the taste of Greece in the food. Olive oil is still king in the north, but it is used in many more ways. Try to experiment with regional cuisines while visiting Greece. You’ll not be disappointed!
I traveled to Greece with several people; two of which lived there for many years. They told me throughout the trip over and over again that you simply could not get a bad meal in Greece. Everywhere we went this statement was proven to be true. The food is always fresh, well prepared, and delicious. The true test came on a day when we decided to drive to the Macedonian border area. We stopped at a small town next to the border called Evzoni to grab some lunch. This town was a virtual ghost town. The embargo on the Macedonia had caused border traffic to grind to a halt over the years, and this town was suffering as a result. It mainly now consists of border guards, and the few locals who have managed to squeak by over the years. Most of the people have long since moved to Athens or Thessalonica. We found the one remaining mom and pop restaurant in town, which was literally run by a mom...

Psara is a nice tavern with terrace up in Plaka, a bit far from the tourist crowds.Go early to take a good table, from some you can see Likavitos Hill. Athenian MezedesFrench friesSausagesand ouzo!!
This restaurant with terraceis a real classic in Plaka. It is located in the very heart of it, surrounded by many others. So what's the difference? ...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!
Greek Salad is the star of starters in most Greek restaurants... at least in the touristic ones. There are many variations on this delicious salad, but most include:- Feta (greek oat cheese)- Black Olives- Marjoram- Tomato- Green pepper stripes- Olive Oil- OnionSome may add lettuce... too.
This popular restaurant is located inside the Meat Central Market in Athens. It has a couple of tables on the Market's aisles, a perfect place to sit for lunch while you observe the busy activity in the Market.They have a menu, but is usual to go to the kitchen and choose there your dish. Patsa (a stomachs and intestines soup) is one of my favourites!!
Pallatia restaurant was a real discovery to me in Naxos. I was looking for a way to visit the Apollo Gate, in the Pallatia peninsula, not far from the capital centre. Walking along the pier I smelt some grilled fish and went on to have a look. Then I saw this little restaurant, at the pier under the Apollo gate Hill, where they had those classical Greek Menus including fresh fish and octopus. It was still noon so I sat on the pier, took off my clothes and had a swimm on the bay. Then I lied under the sun for a while, and at 1:30 I had a wooonderful lunch overlooking the capital's Castro.... a wonderful afternoon!
Niko's is one of the best and most famous places to eat in the town. Where is it? I couldn't answer to that, as it is in one of those narrow streets that are all the same. But just ask anyone in the street and they will kindly indicate you where is it exactly located.
