Athens: Top Restaurants for a Taste of New Greek Cuisine

"Housed in a pretty neoclassical home in Keramikos, with warm wooden floors and a glass roof opening onto a garden terrace, this restaurant champions a produce‑first philosophy: good food is impossible without the best ingredients, especially in Greek cuisine. The local, seasonal, biodiversity‑friendly menu is composed according to deliveries and revisits tradition with finesse—Greek salad becomes distilled tomato water served as a granita; lamb chops meet aubergines, olives and herbs in an original pairing; and stuffed tomatoes are enhanced by a purée of dolmades—before a dessert that re‑enacts the old custom of offering sweets after the bill. The wine list leans into a return to basics too, spotlighting many natural and biodynamic Greek bottles, all while preserving a generous sense of hospitality." - The MICHELIN Guide
