Lovely lunch and dinner spot across from the museum and metro station. Found it on a top Moussaka list and it did not dissappoint. The hosts and hospitality were wonderful--- would gladly eat here again. Note- we ordered the greek salad and the meal for...2 (we're both Americans and were hungry...) stuffed ourselves full and still had 3 trays to take back to the hotel for another meal. Big portions, reasonable pricing.More

Wow… everything about this place was glorious. Really enjoyed the mixed Greek sharer for 2. Huge amounts of food, reasonably priced and lovely staff. It is positioned amongst some more touristy places (which would normally put me off) but this place was modest and definitely...worth a visit ❤️ Huge love. Would recommend and visit again!More

Although it is touristic spot, I think that both the staff and food were great. The starter was great, the moussaka was very good , but the wine (their own production) was marvelous . Maybe I was just searching for a less fruity wine, but...I would say the experience was greatMore

I can’t say enough about how much we loved our dinner here. This meal was so memorable, not just for the food but also because of how welcoming and generous the employees are. We were greeted and seated inside the very busy restaurant. Everyone working...there was smiling and having a great time interacting with each other and the customers. Our meal was fantastic and we appreciated the cheesecake that was brought out for us and the shots of a local liquor! The experience here is something we will remember forever and if we ever get back to Athens (would love to!) we will definitely return here.More

This place was supposed to have the best moussaka in Athens and I was not disappointed. It was the most delicious I have ever eaten. The other dishes (saganaki, pita and dessert) were also really tasty. The food came very quickly, the staff was totally...friendly (dessert was on the house) and the portions were good. The prices are also good for the location.More

Food is exceptionally amazing, 100% authentic Greek cuisine. Service was also great, very friendly place. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend had an orgasm during lunch... though I cannot blame her! 🤤

Awesome place to get some traditional Greek food. We had the grouper which was the special of the day, it did not disappoint. The flavor was excellent, it is served with potatoes, dill lemon, eggplant, peppers and zucchini. Careful if you are allergic, it comes...with some amazing mushrooms in a homemade sauce (we asked for them on the side). The plate was so big it's good for three people, we ordered it for 2 of us and we couldn't finish it. Our friend had lamb and it was excellent as well. They followed our meal with traditional Greek Mastika, which is a drink that helps you with suggestion. We ordered traditional Greek coffee and an expresso, I loved it. They brought us a homemade cheesecake with the coffee, I can not say enough. The atmosphere, the EXCELLENT service and the food are an absolute MUST! Our waiter Kakos is AMAZING! You have to come here.More

I came to LIONDI with my husband and three adult children while visiting Athens, and was treated like royalty! The food was amazing and we loved every course. The staff was SO friendly and personable and gave us an evening to remember. Our server, Vasili,...joined us in shots of ouzo, mastiha, and lemoncello which made the night even more fun!More

Thissio / Makriyanni
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

I don't remember if it was on the menu. Just lie the others, my friend and I often got free desserts. We ate at Liondi about 6 times while we were in Athens.

We were just there in February and at the very least, Stavros was still there chatting with all his guests, so I think you won't be disappointed!
