The mezedes place! "Meze", plural "mezedes"= small, tasty portions of food, similar to Spanish tapas. No menu cards here, just choose from the mezedes brought in front of you on a tray. Sausages on fire are highly recommendable. View to Mount Lycabettus from upstairs.

High-end confectionery since 1939 for the Athenian elite, from politicians to businesspeople. The old, aristocratic bar inside is something to watch out for, but whenever your host has tea there, he is more inspired by looking at the lighting on the ceiling.
