A Food Expert's Guide to Eating in Athens, Greece - AFAR

"The taverna 2.0 trend started [in 2014] with places like Seychelles, and now young chefs are ditching the ‘Zorba the Greek’ octopus and cheap ouzo clichés and redefining the taverna for the 21st century." - Anya von Bremzen

"Seychelles It’s always fun stumbling upon places the locals frequent. If you’re in Athens, venture beyond Monaistaraki/the Plaka and all the typical souvlaki joints to the Metaxourgeio neighborhood. Here, you’ll find Seychelles—described by Buzzfeed as “one of the 31 places you should eat around the world before you die.” Here, not only are the clientele and interior space hip, but the menu is fun and creative with simple but elevated dishes such as chickpeas with feta and mint, tomato and zucchini fritters, and a fantastic selection of cheeses from all over Greece. The pappardelle with kavourmas (cured pork) was jaw-droppingly delicious! Do yourself a favor, and make the trek out this way ... take the metro to Kerameikos, then walk or grab a cab for under five Euros. You’ll be glad you did. Ask about the daily specials and always book ahead (in warmer weather, ask for a table outside on Avdi Square). By Andrew Tzembelicos"

"Housed in a former residence on Avdi Square, this bustling restaurant features mismatched furniture, brightly coloured walls and an open kitchen. Ask to sit outside and enjoy recipes and ingredients from all over Greece: black-eyed pea salad with smoked eel; slow-cooked octopus with pickled okra; or pappardelle with kavourmas (sautéed meat) from Komotini. All this plus lots of local cheese – a tasty accompaniment to a bottle of Greek red."

A friend told me about this place from a previous trip and it lived up to the recommendation! Great fresh and creative menu options: large delightful greens salad, green beans with chèvre, pine nuts, and grapes!!, fresh house made gnocchi, etc.). We were a group of 3 able to fit in shortly after they opened on the weekend without a reservation. Would definitely go back!

Had such a wonderful dining experience at Seychelles! I ordered the beef pappardelle and it was absolutely delicious. We were lucky to get a table on a Sunday without a reservation.. the restaurant filled up quickly, which shows how popular it is. We sat at the kitchen bar and loved watching the chefs in action. I believe it was the head chef we chatted with and he kindly offered us a complimentary appetizer while we waited. Such a thoughtful gesture! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively and the service made the whole experience even better. Truly had an amazing time and would love to come back.

Maybe had better days We were honestly a bit disappointed. The atmosphere is nice and the menu sounds promising, but both service and execution fell short. Service was inattentive and slightly unfriendly — no one checked in during the meal or asked if we enjoyed it, which set the tone. Food-wise, the green beans with feta, grapes, almonds and mint had potential but were underwhelming: the beans were slightly overcooked, under-seasoned, and lacked freshness. There were too few almonds and grapes, and the mint was barely noticeable. Roasted grapes and chunkier almonds could have added the contrast and sweetness the dish needed. The chickpeas with fennel had nice flavor components (especially the charred fennel), but the dish overall was under-salted and flat. A touch of chili or brighter herbs would have lifted it. The triple-cooked fries were well seasoned and tasty, but for “triple cooked” they weren’t quite crunchy enough — still good, but not outstanding. The pappardelle with ragu was the biggest letdown. The pasta was slightly overcooked, the ragu too tangy and not cooked down enough to develop real depth. The onions were still noticeable, and it lacked the rich, slow-cooked character you’d expect. A reduction with demi-glace or longer simmering would help tremendously. Overall, it feels like a restaurant that might once have had more precision and edge, but is coasting a bit now. The ideas are good, but the execution and service need tightening. With more attention to seasoning, texture, and hospitality, it could shine again. They didnt even said good bye. We didnt felt welcomed.

Best food experience in Athens, I was skeptical about its location at first, but once seated and had a look at the menu, the experience started changing. The food was exceptional, I wanted to try everything on the menu, but a man has his limits. Everything we had was at its best, for the salad to the tiramisu. Just exceptional!

Lovely restaurant hidden away in the centre of Athens, the food was a blend of Greek and European cuisine with exceptional taste. One of the guys working at the bar did an incredible job and made our experience one to remember. Portion sizes were huge! So tasty - really recommend

Considering the chefs were from the Greek "Master chef" the food wasn't that amazing. It was good, sure, but there are places with better tastes in the same price range. Service was amazing (also considering that we knew one of the crew, so your experience may differ). But the atmosphere, again considering the rotten roads around that spot, was very very good.

I ate there twice in a 4 days trip! That's how awesome this place is. The food is incredible, so tasty and rich and a great variety of choices that you would want to order everything. The service is great, the staff are incredible and so helpful. Highly recommended. They have a really nice terrace, the indoor area is very cosy and homy.

One of the highlights of our trip to Athens! One of the better restaurants I visited, food was perfect and prices were great considering the quality and service. We had a blast and would definitely recommend to anyone. Just make sure to book a table in advance!
