About To Kafeneio
Open since 1836 in the quieter, uphill part of Plaka: grilled lamb, beef stifado and fasolada in a cosy room lined with vintage photos. Plaka is the oldest neighbourhood of Athens, a maze of lanes and neoclassical houses below the Acropolis, with tavernas, small museums and shops; it is largely pedestrian and best explored on foot. Athenians dine late, usually from 21:00, so book ahead for weekend dinners, especially at the best-known tables.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with To Kafeneio before you go.
