Zisis

Reasonable priced old shop with old Greek mother-like lady cooking the fish. The fish were lightly fried and easy to chew and swallow including bones. The little anchovies surprisingly tasted so meaty. And the sardines tasted so fresh. All fried and served in a paper cone by a friendly waiter. The Zisis salad was good too, fresh lettuce and some mint flavour, though I would have enjoyed it more with more of the smoked mussels.

This is a nice cute little restaurant near Athens Flea market. Very good taste until we order again and again. Highly recommended

Zisis is a great spot for seafood lovers. We tried the shrimp, squid, and anchovy, along with a classic Greek salad everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely cooked. One of the highlights is their unique serving style: fried fish like anchovy, sardine, and sand smelt are served in paper cones, which adds a fun and casual touch to the experience. If you’re in the mood for simple, tasty seafood with a creative twist, Zisis is definitely worth a try.

Zisis – Fish in the Cone: Small Space, Big Flavor Zisis in Athens is a cozy seafood spot that delivers seriously satisfying bites. We tried the cod with potato salad, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The concept of seafood served in cones is fun and practical, especially for exploring the city on foot. With friendly service and a laid-back vibe, Zisis is a great stop for anyone craving authentic Greek seafood without the fuss.

Came to try the seafood in cones. Didn't have the small shrimps when I dined. Service was poor as I had to ask for plain water, which we got when the meal was over. Server also looked like he was in a bad mood. Smelt was fishy and bitter. Squid could have been more crispy. Fish burger was a fish patty not "battered" as the server said. Fries were the only good thing. Save your money. Not worth it.

Tried Zisis – Fish in the Cone while in Athens and overall had a great experience! The cod fish in a cone was super fresh and crispy – definitely a must-try. The squid was well-cooked and flavorful, and the seafood pasta was tasty and full of ingredients. The tuna was fresh and well-prepared too. We also tried the burger, but it wasn’t quite what we expected. The patty had a slightly unusual texture and flavor that didn’t quite hit the mark for us. Still, the seafood is definitely where Zisis shines. Great concept, fast service, and good value. Worth a visit if you’re in Athens and craving quality seafood with a modern twist!

At this place you will taste the best most fresh fish and shrimps ever.🐟🦐🐙 We got to this place exactly 20 minutes before it closed and they welcomed us to sit. The waiters are very friendly and patient. We ordered the fried sardines, fried calamari, and fried shrimps. The sardines were SO FRESH like you could still taste the sea in them. The food was perfectly cooked and served nicely. This was my mom's favorite place in athens, and I will definitely come back when I get the chance.

That could be one of the best gems and food experience in Athens, it has the heritage, great products, and a cute seating overlooking the street! However, the chefs needs some push and some larger taste packets to make it a protection! Can be easy
