Hoocut brings a cook’s care to the pitta on Agia Irini Square, where grilled meat is chopped by hand with an outsized cleaver before it goes into the wrap. It keeps late hours, open until midnight at weekends, so it suits the hour after a drink in the square as well as a quick lunch. Takeaway and phone orders are part of the rhythm here. Our advice: come after dark, when the square is at its liveliest.
