"Celebrity chef Argiro Barbarigou serves locals and tourists some of the freshest fish and seafood in the city. Her restaurant, Papadakis, opened at the foot of Mount Lycabettus in downtown Athens in 2005, attracting A-listers like Jean Paul Gauthier, Carla Bruni, and Pierce Brosnan. Less-famous diners can also stop by for lobster, squid, and the fisherman’s soup known as kakavia. [$$$]" - Demetrios Ioannou

We found this place on google

And came here for the good
Reviews and the menu. The food was excellent. We shared a few of the starters. The ceviche was really good and we also had the Papadakis Salad, beautiful cheese from Paros. The smoked aubergine is a must.
For the mains we had the spicy linguine, simply delicious and really fresh prawns. Also the WHITE GROUPER with fresh truffles, shiitake mushrooms and white wine was to die for. Would highly recommend. Service was a 10!

I had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly outstanding. Our waitress was Tonia ,she was incredibly friendly and welcoming — she translated the menu for me with a constant smile and made sure we felt comfortable throughout. Her hospitality really made the evening special. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

The only reason for a lower atmosphere rating is, outside dining is awesome (romantic), inside more normal seating. Food quality is top and good pairing wine.

It was our last evening in Athens and we are so glad we chose Papadakis to end our wonderful holiday in Greece. The service was kind and helpful and they graciously found us a table outside. The food was delicious and perfectly served as we enjoy sharing our dishes .😋Octopus braised in honey; chickpea casserole; orzo with shrimps; fried calamari; orange fondant with chocolate ice cream. Lovely setting in the beautiful suburb of Kolonaki.
