TAVERNA
This modern eatery with its white linen and freshcut flowers set in a garden courtyard is
upmarket for Exarhia, but the food is superb and made with largely organic produce. Try
interesting greens such as
almirikia
, the perfectly grilled fish, delicious mussels, or risotto
with mushrooms and truffle oil. It occasionally offers a fixed three-course menu (€13.50)
with wine.

An old-style Exarhia favourite on a lively pedestrian strip, this family-run taverna serves
grills and home-style fare such as
pastitsio
(layers of buttery macaroni and seasoned
minced lamb). Large courtyard/garden fans spray water to keep you cool, and on Sunday
it's packed with families.
