Karamanlidika is a traditional Greek deli and restaurant with two locations in Athens, Greece, offering a diverse range of artisanal cured meats, cheeses, and other delicacies, but while the original location in Psirri is more casual and offers a deli-style experience, the second location in Kolonaki is more upscale and provides a more refined dining experience.
The Greco’s Project is about quick, well-prepared Greek classics, including one the best Gyro wraps in the city. It’s an ultra-casual restaurant that caters primarily to city visitors walking up the two busiest pedestrian streets in the city, Ermou and Mitropoleos, and with a third location on the edge of Monastiraki Square.
Mama Says is actually a small cafe and restaurant situated in Pangrati, known for its delicious and innovative breakfast options, as well as a variety of creative sandwiches and salads that are sure to tantalize your taste buds, all served in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a quick coffee with friends.
Hippy3 is a lively little gastropub that’s popular among a varied mix of an upwardly mobile, young professional clientele and a smattering of tourists of the same genre. The popular bar does a great job of producing pop-food favorites like burgers, pizza and tacos. Just happens to be a great spot for breakfast, serving up scrambled eggs and, of course, avocado toast. It’s our favorite gastropub in Athens.
Our favorite little haunt in Koukaki is the cafe cum bistro called Neratizia, on the ground floor of a small boutique hotel of the same name. The little cafe opens early and offers a wide range of breakfast favorites, from pancakes to scrambled eggs. For lunch and dinner enjoy Greek classics prepared with a little modern-day flair. Great spot!
