We walked by this quaint neighborhood restaurant and sat at the last available table. We were rewarded with an amazing experience. The veal and lamb dishes were outstanding. So flavorful. The service was excellent the family was extremely friendly and made our meal one of...the most enjoyable on our trip to Greece.More

Fantastic restaurant! Great location in a nice area, just along from the Acropolis museum. Really beautiful and quaint decor right down to the elaborate cutlery, the little antique TV and well chosen music. Service was impeccable. Very friendly, professional and the house red was very...nice, smooth and was great with the food. We had the potato soup....delicious with the lovely added ingredients, the cheese starter, bread and dip. Amazing flavours put together in these dishes and cooked to perfection. We had gnocchi for the mains and again, very nice flavours. We watched them being asked by other diners for things really outside their remit but they were lovely, patient and kind with them. Truly lovely people who care about their customers having a great experience. I will be back whenever I'm in Athens. Every time. 100% recommended!More

My husband and I were in Athens for a few days and we were walking around. Walked by Ellevoro and I knocked on the window. Their sign is in Greek, but Ellevoro is what it is. A lady came to the door and I asked...if they had any tables for dinner. They had a couple. Made a reservation and it was so good. Very different. The decor is somewhat antiques, They had a beautiful photograph of the Greek actress Melina Mercouri. The food was delicious. I had grilled red snapper over fennel and my husband had rabbit. Nice wine list and the service was so friendly. Great little place. Also, pretty close to the Acropolis.More

Found this hidden gem while wondering around Athens. Small neighborhood restaurant that has great atmosphere and fantastic food. The decor is like nothing else in town, very roantic. I had veal that was cooked perfectly. They make a good drink as well. We liked it...so much we went back again for drinks.More

You can read other reviews to confirm the quality of the food, but worth highlighting is the perfect alchemy of artistic attention to presentation of the dishes, the decor, and the service. I visit Greece regularly for work and find many restaurants I love, but...discovered this quaint yet trendy spot by luck, and someday I'd like to return just to bring friends to this spot.More

The Greek folksey décor belies the innovative treatment of Greek Grandma's recipes that delight the palate. We returned twice to this restaurant, found purely by chance, and enjoyed the best food on our Greek trip. Not to be missed.

We found this beautiful restaurant by accident near our rental and what a lucky find! Fine dining at only a slightly higher price than the generic restaurants a few blocks away by the Acropolis. We had lamb, veal and shrimp. Every dish was excellent, each...element creative and perfectly seasoned. Rivals our favorite fine dining restaurants.More

What a fabulous eclectic place with superb food and service. An absolute hidden gem, just off the beaten track in Koukaki, this family run place is very highly recommended indeed.

Pleasantly quaint small restaurant. We had a slow-cooked lamb which was delicious, portion and side vegetables were on the small side. Desserts were a disappointingly stodgy Greek yogurt brûlée and a quirky “Childhood Memories” dessert with cotton candy and strawberries in a chocolate sauce. We...were given a small appetiser of creamy feta, thought it was a nice touch until the bill came and we had been charged 3 Euros each for it. Also the majority of places in Athens automatically bring water to the table, here we asked for water and bottled water was brought. Disappointed that an ostensibly small family restaurant would resort to the tricks of a tourist trap. Some good food and ambience.More

Excellent food and service. The food is very traditional beautifully presented and tasty. White table cloths, candle light and a lovely atmosphere, definitely the best restaurant we visited in Athens. I would highly recommend a visit. Take your time and enjoy.

Named after the well-preserved Thission (ancient
temple of Hephaestus), Thissio is blessed with a small
wooded park and some less frenetic streets that offer
numerous quieter places to stay and eat. Largely
pedestrianized Apostolou Pavlou Street runs between
the Acropolis and forested Filopappou Hill, well worth
climbing for more great panoramas, until it merges
with Dionysiou Areopagitou Street. This leads to the
