Tucked in a nestled cove of fantastic fisheries in romantic Microlimino is the exiting, new Plous Podilatou (Sailing Bicycle.) Made by the same creators as the fabulously successful Kitrino Podilato (Yellow Bicycle) Chef Vasilis Alvanidis employs creativity with Mediterranean seafood standards. Risotto with leek and lobster, spaghetti with steamed clams in white wine from the Aegean island of Limnos, and grilled Plurotis mushrooms served with smoked Graviera cheese, just as teasers.
Enjoy it all in a well designed, minimalist decor with waterfront tables.
Dresscode: Casual for lunch and casual evening for dinner

Located inside a small lobby (back and to the left) not far from Syntagma Square, you won't quite understand why a little place like this has been featured in the New York Times. This is not a place you go for atmosphere, though they do offer you a seat at the one table in the midst of the happy, busy buzz of the kitchen if you would like to dine there. It's a place you go for genuine, delicious food prepared with love and extreme attention to quality. The cheeses, olives, oil and bread all come from trusted producers in some of the best agricultural regions of Greece, including Amorgos Island, Kithera and the Macedonia. All of the food is prepared by award winning chef, Konstantinos Siopidis, though you would never know it by the prices. Even the most complicated dishes are not over twelve euros. The pastries and savory pies are made by his mother in law, Irini, who has given demonstrations of her cooking on television shows.

Passing through the backroads of Philopappou, skirting the bluecollar neighborhood of Ana Petralona, you will pass a candy-colored taverna that looks like it's been made out of decoupage and leftover housing materials. To Koutouki has the most offbeat "roof garden" in Athens, home style food like deep fried zucchini, tzatziki and boiled greens with lemon and olive oil, and a staff that may be limited in their English but makes up for it in enthusiasm.
To find it, start from the Dora Stratou Theater parking lot and walk up the road, across the bridge. You'll see it then.
