April 6, 20187 yr I am taking my wife on a Seabourn Cruise of the Greek islands and the Dalmatian coast this summer. We have a couple of days in Athens before we start. Can anyone recommend a couple of restaurants in Athens?
April 6, 20187 yr the one lesson i have from athens is that tables are for wait service, if you go to the counter inside and order gyros you're probably getting the takeaway and they don't like you sitting at their tables (not that i could have known other than learning greek).

April 11, 20187 yr I was in Athens in May 2016. Mani Mani was the first restaurant I went to. It doesn't have a view, but the food is phenomenal. http://manimani.com.gr/english.html I had posted photos of the whole meal back on the other site, but here was the highlight of the meal. Pork tenderloin with orzo served with manouri (soft cheese), figs with honey & almond sauce. Definitely worth a visit. Stani dairy bar is definitely a must visit. Get the yogurt. Kuzina was another restaurant I was able to visit while in Athens. This was the view from my table. https://www.kuzina.gr/en/home Main course of the night was the 12 hour roast pork. Also had a memorable meal at Hytra and one of the many Greek Tavernas. Honestly, some of the best food is found at the neighborhood tavernas.

For a nice and expensive meal, it was quite disappointing. But, as Hundystick said, for drinks or a fancy breakfast, it was spectacular.
