About Cookoovaya

Founded by a group of top Greek chefs, Cookoovaya serves generous, wood-oven-led modern Greek cooking that never tries too hard. Ideal for sharing. Ilisia is a central residential area beyond Kolonaki, home to the Megaron concert hall, with the Byzantine and Christian Museum and the National Gallery close by. Athenians dine late, usually from 21:00, so book ahead for weekend dinners, especially at the best-known tables.
