The Best Places to Eat in Athens Greece in 2024
The birthplace of a world-renowned empire, Greece is a vibrant destination with crumbling ruins, cultural heritage and, perhaps unsurprisingly, a dazzling restaurant scene. While the city’s culinary offerings have evolved to accommodate a growing number of fusion and fine dining establishments, some traditional tavernas have also remained intact to showcase the best of hearty Greek cuisine. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a sumptuous seafood feast overlooking the glistening sea or a fine-dining experience that celebrates the rich history of the country, these top restaurants are the places to be. Featuring an array of creative and contemporary dishes, these restaurants aren’t simply an invitation to dine, they’re an immersive, culinary adventure that spans time and culture.
One of the oldest tavernas in the capital, Psarra’s Tavern is the linchpin of Athens’ traditional taverna scene. Located just around the corner from Monsikleus in a striking neoclassical building with ochre-colored walls, this eatery has been serving up classic Greek dishes since 1898. From comforting tripe soup and avgolemono to savory goat fricasse and fragrant galatkoboureko, this is the kind of taverna where taxi drivers, local market workers and students converge to feast on time-honored recipes. A relatively new addition to the Athens culinary landscape, Wine is Fine draws arty types with its organic wines and a laid-back atmosphere. Nestled among hardware and homeware stores in a liminal area of the city’s Monastiraki, this dining spot fuses French sharing plate sensibilities with traditional Mediterranean fare. Expect beef tartar, real mayonnaise and zingy salads alongside an eclectic mix of natural wines from both Greece and abroad.
Chef Sotiris Kontizas is the mastermind behind the eclectic fusion at Nolan, where dishes that fuse Asian dining sensibilities (small plates arrive at your table exactly when they’re ready) with Mediterranean flavour and endemic ingredients sourced from around the region. The result is a restaurant that’s both refined and approachable, with dishes like sea bass stuffed with saffron rice, sardines in red curry sauce and a vegetarian version of the popular boeuf Bourguignon proving it. Stepping inside Spondi feels like entering a culinary sanctuary, where every detail, from the grand neoclassical entryway to the bespoke dinnerware, sings an ode to gastronomic excellence. From the luscious seafood platters to the delicate and flavorful meze to the sublime desserts, Spondi is a must-visit for any serious foodie visiting Athens.
