About Eating Out at Athens Restaurants
(Athens, Greece)



There is no doubt that Greeks are known for their loving of eating out, and the spectacular city of Athens is home to one of the country's highest concentrations of restaurants, cafés and bars.

Eating Out: Places to Eat in Athens

Traditional Greek tavernas abound all over Athens, being particularly concentrated in the heart of the city and around the Plaka and Psirri district, with seafood restaurants being plentiful in the Piraeus area, in and around Kesariani Square, and close to the Mikrolimano harbour, often offering impressive views of the waterfront. The Greeks enjoy eating and drinking, with meal times usually turned into an extremely relaxed and social event, where the conversation is considered to be as important as the food itself.

Traditional mezes dishes are on offer at Mezedopolia restaurants all over the city of Athens, where you will always find the city's national drink ouzo, characterised by its notable aniseed flavour, served to complement many local dishes. Other types of cuisine can be found all over Athens, including Italian food, French bistros and Japanese sushi.
