Cherchez La Femme

Great small plate restaurant, the flavours of dishes were very memorable. Smoky moussaka, very soft lamb stew with beans. Sweet tomatoes in the Greek salad and of course crusty soft bread you wipe your plates clean. Our server Linda is friendly and funny. She want to make sure we don’t leave a drop of flavourful salad dressing behind and she brought us on the house dessert (maybe because we return all the plates squeaky clean) !! 🥰 Beautiful Instagrammable Art Nouveau-ish dining room and outdoor seatings with cute playlist. No Amex tho 😭

An extremely rare 5 stars from me. Perfect balance of great food and even better service. They know their market and they do it well. Busy, slightly boisterous, unpretentious, hearty, and flavoursome. Chilled red pepper soup with smoked trout, fava bean dip, and shrimp saganaki - everything was made with love and amazing flavour and little creative twists to the originals. Bonus brownie points for the little bottle of amazing extra virgin olive oil to go with the bread, just in case it was needed. It wasn't, but we had some anyway. Don't hesitate, walk in, ring and book, just eat here.

Located just off Mitropoleos Square is the quaint and beautiful Cherchez La Femme. Serving traditional, yet elevated, Greek small plates this local hotspot is a phenomenal place to stop for a quick lunch or a lengthy and indulgent dinner. There are plenty of tables outside for patrons keen to people watch, or a cool and tastefully decorated dining room inside for those wanting to escape the chaos of Athens. The food itself is stunning, every dish is uncomplicated but with an element of flair that raises it above the many tavernas you can find dotted around the side streets. We would recommend two dishes each for a sufficient meal or 3-4 per person if you are particularly hungry or have a big group. Lastly a note on the service; charming, attentive & faultless - we even received a delicious dessert on the house so they could ask our thoughts. All in all - would 100% recommend for anyone searching for a delicious place to while away the hours!

Absolutely amazing Greek food! We had a variety of Greek tapas — the octopus and anchovies were out of this world. The wine was top-notch too. George took excellent care of us — super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations on both dishes and wine. And the dessert? Let's just say we were literally licking our lips.

We honestly loved this spit. Retro chic vibe with a dj spinning his heart away! Everyone who worked here seemed so happy and to be genuinely having fun! On top of it... the food! Absolutely delicious, fresh, and unique. We sat in a little corner table inside to escape the heat and busyness... we were happy as so many came to the outside tables begging. The owners removed them, but we were happy we sat inside. We gave money to several people in Greece.. I would just be uncomfortable with it ongoing at our table. HIGHLY recommend eating here! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, service, and delicious meal. We had the tzaiki, grape leaves the orange and beet salad, seabass.

We got a lovely seat outdoors across the street from the church and we enjoyed a delicious casual Greek meal, everything we ate was delicious, reasonably priced, and we had a delightful waitress who couldn’t have been sweeter. Recommend!

High quality ingredients prepared beautifully - traditional Greek recipes with a modern twist and packed full of love and flavour. Don’t forget the dessert!!

We came here following a recommendation for the Greek coffee served there. The waiter Desard spoke excellent English and was very nice with excellent recommendations. One of the best places we visited in Athens
