"Με καταβολές από την Αντιόχεια, το Λίβανο, την Κύπρο και την Κωσταντινούπολη, η οικογένεια πίσω από το Feyrouz ετοιμάζει φρέσκα, χειροποίητα και γεμάτα μεράκι σπιτικά εδέσματα. Λαχματζούνια όπως το ομώνυμο Feyrouz με λευκή λεπτή χειροποίητη ζύμη με μοσχαρίσιο κιμά, προζυμένιες φωλιές, σαλάτες, σούπες και πεϊνιρλί (το λεγόμενο πιντέ) -αγαπημένο το roostic με κόκκορα κρασάτο και mozzarella- αλλά και χορτοφαγικές πιτούλες όπως την φτόιρ, τη λιβανέζικη πιπεράτη χορτόπιτα με χόρτα εποχής και μπόλικο σουμάκι φτιάχνονται καθημερινά στην αυθεντική streed food γωνιά της Αθήνας.

"Perched on the corner of Karori and Aiolou, Feyrouz is a small yet mighty eatery that serves up a taste of the Middle East, with Mrs. Feyrouz’s flavors being inspired by Antioch, Greece, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Istanbul. The menu of savory street food eats is filled with flavorsome options such as Lachamtzoun (flatbreads) and Peinirli (aka pizza boats) and they offer a number of home-made Greek and Turkish desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth too. You will find it at Agathonos 2"

"Tucked away on the corner of a quiet street, Feyrouz is an unassuming hotspot for oriental-infused street food in the capital. Forget the traditional spanakopita and try the vegetarian lahmatzoun or the fatayer, a distant cousin of the Greek spinach pie, seasoned with sumac and red pepper. The fresh salads and daily soups are also a must-try."

"Dionysos is a fine-dining restaurant for special occasions, with a history of 40 years. Its excellent cuisine and view of the Acropolis are just some of the reasons why many Greeks and foreign visitors believe it may be the best restaurant in Athens. The romantic atmosphere offered by Dionysos is palpable."

"Close to Panepistimio metro station, Mama Tierra is a bright and basic vegetarian canteen. The eclectic menu is a journey across continents, taking in sweet potato hummus, vegan moussaka, Pad Thai, burritos and mushroom burgers, washed down with kombucha or green juice. The chocolate, avocado and date smoothies are a meal in a glass."

"Another favorite Athens vegan restaurant, lLocated at one of the most alternative districts of Athens, Mama Tierra. It was created to show people that vegan food can be as delicious!. They use high quality materials and spices as they want to highlight the quality and plethora of Greek products."

"I really don’t know why I was waiting until my very last few hours in Athens to finally go and eat at Mama Tierra. I had my last meal in Athens there. It was quite difficult to choose as they have many meals I’d enjoy but in the end I asked for vegan pad thai salad."

"Strofi restaurant has been a favorite since 1975 when it opened, and many visiting celebrities have dined on the ideally situated terrace with the magnificent view of the Acropolis, often after watching a performance at the famous Herodus Atticus theatre. The recently renewed and elegantly decorated locale, on three levels, is a very good choice to taste local specialties and excellent wines. The menu includes delicious dishes like octopus with oil and oregano, fried squid, tender goat with tomatoes and gruyere, risotto with seafood, Greek salad, and not to miss syrupy ekmek cake with vanilla ice cream, just to mention a few."

"You’ll find Strofi in an old mid-war mansion at the foothills of the Acropolis, in the surrounding and elegant suburb of Thissio. With a mesmerising view of the Parthenon, this is a part of old Athens that should be experienced with a superb wine list and the traditional tastes of Greece. Opening in 1975, Strofi is one of the long-standing Athenian restaurants, offering traditional Greek cuisine."

"Tucked away one a leafy, stair-lined street in Kolonaki, this is one of the best low profile restaurants in town.

"Loukoumades, the Greek donuts, is a traditional dessert worth trying. One of the best places to taste them is Krinos: based in a historical building downtown and open since 1923, here you can order loukoumades with honey syrup and cinnamon or in its modern version, topped with hazelnut praline. The atmosphere is retro with black-and-white images on the walls; the light although deep-fried and crispy loukoumades are served in plastic trays accompanied by a glass of water."

"Dipped in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon, loukoumades at Krinos are one of Athens’ guilty pleasures. Loukoumades are one of the most ancient desserts in all of Greece. Despite their age, these addictive sweet bites taste totally modern and are a must to try during a visit to Athens."

"Krinos is a traditional sweet shop that serves the best loukoumades in town since 1923. Loukoumades are little yeast risen puffs that are deep-fried until golden brown and then drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Apart from loukoumades you can try bougatsa and ice cream."

"Visit Hans & Gretel gelateria in Monastiraki and travel to a fairy land made out of sugar!. This place is definitely an experience that combines the popular fairy tale with dessert. It is always busy as it is very popular among tourists."

"So beautiful and sweet decorations with all kind of sweets, ice cream, and waffles. If you don’t know what to taste – ask the girls in fabulous dresses. My advice: try the chimney cake with homemade ice cream and colorful topping."
