TOP DISHES
Revithada (chickpea stew)

The reason most regulars come — slow-cooked, served from the pot.

Grilled sardines

Whatever the Varvakios fishmongers next door sent over that morning.

Horta (wild greens)

Boiled, dressed in olive oil and lemon — simplicity as discipline.

BEFORE YOU GO
  1. 01No sign on the door, look for stairs down on Theatrou Square
  2. 02Cash only, no menu — you point at the pots
  3. 03Open lunch only until early evening; closed Sundays
YOUR NOTE

Legendary, no-frills basement taverna serving old-school Greek home cooking (chickpea soup, grilled fish) since the 1880s at rock-bottom prices — a true taste of old Athens.
