Atmosphere, check. Tasty Mediterranean fare, check. Heavenly dessert selection, check. This Gazi restaurant seems to have everything going for it. We give it four stars!

Not a big fan of fish? Dining at Margaro may make a convert out of you. Whether you choose the crayfish, the mullet, or the marida, it’s better to wash it down with the restaurant’s barrel wine.

Mexican food in Greece? Why not? But make sure you get the real deal. Try Meson el Mirador. You’ll definitely love their enchiladas, quesadillas, and of course, their margaritas.

Seriously one of the best eateries in Plaka, Damigos is famous for their bakaliaros (deep-fried cod). The retsina is also a hit, so you’d do well not to miss it!
