Athens

Seafood Taverna restaurants in Athens

  1. A

    Vasilenas

    This classic Piraeus tavern has been spruced up and the menu modernised, but the third generation now running the show maintains much of the family tradition and well-deserved reputation for good-value, delicious seafood. You can’t go wrong with the generous set menu (€34) and there’s also à la carte dining (and a few meat dishes) on the shady terrace in summer.

  2. Kollias

    It’s worth risking a clash with an Athenian taxi driver to eat fresh fish and seafood on the terrace of Tassos Kollias’ superb taverna in Piraeus’ outer reaches. For tighter budgets, you can get five seafood treats for €15 a head across the road at his mezedhopoleio, Ta Pente Piata.

    An enduring seafront taverna in Piraeus, this place is popular for fresh fish, grilled to perfection and served with a simple oil-and-lemon dressing.

    One of the older and well-regarded tavernas in Plaka, known for its seafood mezedhes, this atmospheric place in a renovated 1898 house has pleasant shaded courtyard and tables on the charming Plaka street.
