Granada

Fantastic little restaurant in a quiet side street near Monastiraki square, only two blocks from the apartment we rented. After having been extremely disappointed with the food we had our first day in Greece, Granada was a very welcome surprise. It’s obvious the owner takes pride in his food and hospitality. Everything was so fresh and of excellent quality and taste. Highly recommend trying this spot.

Walked past this store and it just give you a homely and right feeling. We were lucky to get a table for 2 despite fully packed Saturday night. The service was excellent and we had some really great starters (we love to eat starters and the grilled veg in Greece) and they were truly amazing!

Amazing place. The staff is extremely nice and careful, making sure you are good at all times. We ordered several plates to try a bit of everything. We finished really full and happy, one plate less would have been perfect. We ordered some dips, risotto (which was incredible, maybe the best risotto ever), some croquettes and some fried sweet potatoes. We drunk and tasted local beers following the recommendations. The total price was 33.50 € for two people.

Food was delicious as well as the wine and sangria. Glad we picked here. It was quiet at 8 but picked up about 9.

Very nice small traditional non traditional tavern. We had the beef which was so Soft among others. The raki was super tasty and cold. The staff friendly and fast 🥘 ***** 👧 👦 ***** 🚽 ***** 🎶 ***** 🪟 ***** 💰 *****

Great bang for the buck! We loved everything about our dinner at Granáda. When we learned there was live music that night, we were hesitant. However, it turned out to be one of our most memorable nights we've spent in Athens. We ordered the dips (4 dips & handmade chips, my favourite being the beetroot hummus, sweet and creamy). We also ordered the scallops, pork cheeks and octopus. Octopus with fava beans and caper jam was our favourite although the other dishes were quite tasty as well. The wine menu is as basic as it gets, we ordered the 500 ml house red wine, we found it very decent for what we paid. We finished the night with a glass of sangria each. The prices were more than fair and the service very friendly - no wonder the place was packed.

A good selection of tapas and big portions. The bulgur with shrimp was tasty - flavors are subtle but came together well. The lentil salad needed a little more lemon juice and salt, and then it was perfect. The beef souvlaki was disappointing, it lacked texture and taste.

A hidden gem in the heart of Athens! Tasteful combination of Greek and Spanish tapas with prices that will surprise you. We're welcoming service.
