TasTe Athens a complex culinary universe

Athens has generated a vibrant dine-out urban culture that proudly exhibits the country’s lavish seasonal produce and rich heritage that has been passed down for generations. Exploring the culinary universe of Athens can be an exciting challenge for foodies. Go local, and find the best family-owned tavernas and all-day cafés – although the many bistros and cocktail bars that seek to reinvent these Greek staples creatively are worth trying as well! In addition, authentic grill houses are everywhere – you can find them scattered across the Athenian neighborhoods, and each has its own unique personality. Athens also has no shortage of luxury options, with numerous Michelin-starred fine dining restaurants and rooftop bars and restaurants that boast stunning views of the skyline and the Acropolis. There’s a reason that food is a focal point of Greek culture.
