I've been here on an afternoon for coffee and people-watching while resting up ... as well as in the evening for drinks. Great experience each time and plan on coming back on my next visit o the beautiful Plaka neighborhood.

10 out of 10 for the location and the views. You really have to visit it. Unfortunately, the quality of the pie, the slightly unfriendly service and the fact that we never got a receipt for the bill, do not allow me to mark this place up. Improve your service and you will be the best.

Yiasemi was very good value - most of the patrons were locals and that is always promising. The food was clearly freshly prepared. We went with our children and we were the only family there. Many younger, Athenians were gathered having later afternoon/early evening drinks at the time. It was pretty busy and the service was a bit slow as... More

Yiasemi was beyond packed on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We climbed the hill and then the stairs to the rooftop. Our server was a star. He climbed a tight circular staircase from the kitchen to the roof over and over again...but was always polite, cheerful, listened to our English and very fast. The dishes were excellent, well prepared, nutritious and... More

We ate twice in this small Plaka place on several floors - the best eaqting experience in Athens. There is a list of 8-12 specials, 5 euro each, cooked to order by a brilliant lady cook. 2 each are plenty. The various "pies" - eggplant, carrot, spinach - are superb - rich yet light. Veal/tomato also fine. For sweet, try... More

Great place to relax and have some great food after visiting the Acropolis. Would recommend the spinach pie, the meatballs and an aubergine side (that I can't remember the name of).

Fantastic little restaurant with small tapasish dishes. Great food, Very romantic. We crammed ourselves into a table with our three kids. Still great. Do not opt for the roof terrace. You must sit in the street at this very nice little place a bit away from the worst tourist traps in Plaka.

We had a nice tapas-style dinner on the rooftop. The food was good - highly recommend the meatballs and the spinach pie. The tables/chairs were a little crammed and uncomfortable but not a big deal. It was nice because the restaurant was mostly filled with locals so we didn't feel like we were at a tourist-only locale. The prices were... More

4 of us shared 8 orders ... all were delicious. Dined on rooftop ... beware the precarious walk up if you have physical limitations, but the atmosphere is worth the climb. The ambiance reminded me of The Spotted Pig (West Village, NYC) ... lots of trendy youthful drinkers, but the food is the real treat.
