Plaka is a trendy district in the heart of Athens. The Greek people show filotimo (loving welcome), and kefi (passion), for their culture, and especially their food and drink. In this menu, I have built an experience around a traditional Athenian taverna, both with trendy and traditional mezze style foods. As my mother used to say, “Come in come in, what would you like to eat?”
