Nolan

"A contemporary bistro in the centre of the city, just a few steps from the busy Syntagma Square. The chef at the helm here (his father is Greek, his mother Japanese), creates contemporary Greek-focused cooking with plenty of Asian influences, and enticing dishes that are fresh, colourful and perfect for sharing. Next door is a separate space called “Sweet Nolan”, a pastry shop that complements the Nolan brand’s other ventures. In the summer months, the restaurant moves to Mykonos, with the whole team, and stays there from July to mid-September." - Michelin Inspector

"This tiny fusion restaurant not far from Syntagma Square has made a name for itself among the city’s food lovers. Chef Sotiris Kontizas combines his own Greek and Japanese roots to create comfort food without geographic limitations, like gyoza with beef cheeks, bean noodles with octopus and Kalamata olives, and ceviche fricassee with guelly jack.

"Nolan is a Japanese-Greek fusion restaurant where the menu changes daily, offering dishes like donburi with minced lamb and vegetable sides soaked in a light beef broth."

"While you might think that your last night in Athens warrants a traditional Greek feast, we suggest to booking a table at Nolan instead. Known for its Greek-Asian fusion menu, the restaurant has been buzzed about since it opened in 2016. (Order the soba noodles with smoked salmon and tahini sauce and thank us later.) Somewhat surprisingly, the atmosphere is also relatively unpretentious."
