RawBata

Tucked quietly into a residential neighborhood, RawBata doesn’t announce itself with grand gestures. Yet this unassuming spot, recommended to me as a staff favorite by the team at Delta, Athens’s Michelin-starred darling, proves itself more than worthy of the nod. What unfolds here is not pomp or pretense, but a confident fusion menu that feels both inventive and deeply assured. Each plate is composed with a precision that never veers into fussiness, marrying unexpected flavors and ingredients in ways that feel as natural as they are thrilling. The dining room is modest, the kind of space you might miss if you weren’t looking for it, but the staff carries themselves as though every dish they set down is the most important of the evening. Their attentiveness is neither scripted nor obtrusive; it is the quiet, steady presence that allows the food to shine. RawBata is not simply a neighborhood gem. It is, quite distinctly, the kind of restaurant that those who work in the industry themselves seek out: a place where the craft of cooking is treated as adventure, and where every bite feels like discovery.

Go! You ll thank me Later! RawBata in Athens was an absolute delight. The atmosphere was warm, casual, and buzzing with friendly conversation — the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. The menu shines with creativity, showcasing Asian and Greek influences in perfect harmony. Each dish had its own unique character, refined yet approachable, with flavors that were balanced and elegant. As a huge fan of starters, I was truly impressed — every plate delivered a wow factor, both in taste and presentation. From the vibrant, fresh ingredients to the skillful execution, RawBata delivers an experience that feels both exciting and comforting. A must-visit for anyone who loves food with personality and finesse when in #Athens

RawBata is a gem in a proper Athenian neighbourhood ( and not a touristy one). We had a great evening in terms of food, wine (we had four bottles), and the great attitude of the restaurant's crew, who were terrific fun ( and helpful). My personal favourite was the coq-au-vin, which made me think that I was in a remote Greek village eating a traditional dish. Very well done to the chef and the entire team.

WOW!! Everything was just incredible. Truly memorable we started with the beet salad, moved on to the skirt & added the eggs with mushrooms at the end, fosihfijf with the MOST delicious rose cardamom crème brûlée. WOoowowoooooow!!!! I wish I could live in this dessert! Absolutely impeccable ❤️‍🔥

Overall, the fusion of Greek and Japanese cuisine worked amazing making for a unique dining experience that I would highly recommend to adventurous food lovers. Ceviche, sushi, squid with beans and beef cheeks are miraculously amazing!

This was a much anticipated restaurant to finally open, in a non commercial area! The food experience is simply magnificent, indulging into simple fresh fish & vegetables (we do not eat meat but there are meat options on the menu). Personnel was professional, the prices just normal and the wine options great! I need to mention that the friendly personnel together with the great food are going to be the reasons that I will visit it soon! Loved it! Good job to the amazing chef!

Overall, it was a great experience. All the dishes we tried were very tasty, especially the tuna, and the lamb with trachanas. The service was great, even though I would suggest booking ahead of time (especially on the weekend).

Raw Bata is a new entry. Nice place inside and outside. They offer mostly fish with a few additions of meat like kokoretsi. We ordered four plates which were all flavorful. I think my only two comments would be that I would prefer the sushi to be ready to eat instead of us trying to figure out the amount of rice and fish to add to the seaweed. And the other is that the salad needed more of the bread/ntakos. They were only two small pieces. Best plates: ceviche. Great combination of fish and greens. The eggs. They might seem simple but their flavor is well combined with the grilled mushrooms Flat: The salad. Fresh but ok.
