Hottest new Athens restaurant openings for 2021 It has been a challenging year for the restaurant industry but you can always count on Athens restaurateurs to feed this city’s insatiable appetite for life. Killer views, vegan temples, French flair, Iberian shared plates, Cretan cuisine, Scandi-minimalism, meaty outposts - this year has been a great one for new, exciting and innovative cuisine. Angela Stamatiadou lists the hottest new Athens restaurant openings for 2021. Gastone Grill & Spirits Gastone is a shrine to all things meaty. So, if crackling pig with piccalilli sauce, pork chops, lambchops, slow roasted short ribs, burgers and hots dogs make you salivate, head to this new carnivorous outpost by the Liakou brothers (of Cookoovaya and Basegrill fame) and their partners. Smart, casual, street-dining without compromising on the service and quality, this is a postpandemic trend we hope to see more of. The cocktails here do not disappoint either. Our Mai Tais and Old Fashioneds were just the way we liked them. We didn’t try the cheese platter and cold cuts, but we did covet them from afar!
