A Guide to Athens' Underrated Food Neighborhoods | Condé Nast Traveler
"A longtime producer of galaktoboureko (the creamy semolina‑custard–filled phyllo pastry moistened with simple syrup), Kosmikon has been making this beloved dessert since 1961." - Devorah Lev-Tov
Beautiful little restaurant in Plaka area. It was very busy in the evening hours but the atmosphere, food, and service was excellent.
We tried a variety of dips, pita, and entrees. The salmon and lamb chops were fantastic as was the baklava with pistachio ice cream.

The atmosphere is great but I feel like this place might be a tourist trap. We did not pay nearly as close to as what we paid here anywhere else.
I got the flank steak. My wife got the fish. She enjoyed the fish. My steak was not flavorful at all. However, I must say their tiramisu is amazing. I did not get a picture of it but if you really want to try something here it would be the tiramisu.
Their shrimp was delicious as well. Only thing I didn't like was the steak and it was recommended to me by the server.

Our favourite meal in Athens. We had an excellent night dining outside on the streets in Plaka. We had excellent drinks, amazing food and watched the people pass by. it was a lovely atmosphere under the lights at night.
Service staff were also great and very professional.

Great Outdoor vibe restaurant in the famous Plaka.
I wouldn't return here due to the dishonest waiter.
He was adding items on the check even after I corrected him, and added his own tip without asking. He did this twice perhaps thinking after adult beverages we ladies were tipsy.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! In a touristy area it can be hard to find good food but this place has EXCELLENT food, service, and staff. Everything we ordered was exceptional and every person we interacted with was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend eating here. (We came back again and again because the experience and food were so good!)

Great food and service! "Normal" prices for a top touristic area.
We had Carmelized Shrimps, Moussaka and Grilled Seabass.
All three very tasty

Enjoyed our Athens dinner. Great outdoor people watching atmosphere. Loved the gnocchi, lamb chops and Greek salad. Tasty dishes and good service at a reasonable price. Well done and will be back.

We stopped here briefly for a cappuccino and a bite to eat. I didn't expect much because it was in the main touristy walking area but I was absolutely blown away. The Greek style eggs were so good and you really need to get an order of the pancakes. That was basically dessert and we devoured everything. Also I need to mentioned how perfectly frothy and delicious that cappuccino was.
