About Bairaktaris

Bairaktaris traces its first taverna to 1879, and for six generations the family has served Greek grills and home cooking from its restaurants in Monastiraki and Syntagma. The menu spans grilled meats, soutzoukakia, kebab with yoghurt and the oven dishes of a classic taverna. Come for a fast plate between the flea market and the Acropolis, or book a table and stay longer. Our advice: keep it simple with the kebab and a Greek salad.
