★ ★ ★ ★ ★ While I am not fan of very touristic places (and this is one) I thought this spot was very cosy. Focussed in tourists, but it didn’t bother me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent location and romantic views. The food was very good, but portions were small and prices higher than similar restaurants in Athens. Also we were immediately given (and later charged) for bread, even tho this was listed as an item on the menu and we didn't ask for it. Service also was pretty slow, even by Greek standards. Overall I think it's overrated and I wouldn't return.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good service and food was good. We didn't enjoy the grilled octopus as it was too hard and rubbery to eat. The zucchini balls were delightful, light and airy and the mousaka was tender and flavorful.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is awesome. We had a dinner on the rooftop together with our team and we tried literally everything on the menu. Not a single meal was less than perfect. Next time I'm bringing my family and I'm sure we'll have a great time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had heard so much about this place we expected more. Food was decent, not amazing. We got a table on the roof which had nice views though the tables on the steps looked equally pleasant (plaka is such an atmospheric area). The grilled octopus and the lamb were both decent, but the sides weren't great, especially the potatoes. Our favorite dish was the fried cheese with the honey. That was the one thing that was spectacular.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really enjoyed this restaurant! Nice location and delicious food! They are very considerate as well. I had forgotten my bag there (I know, stupid move on my part). I noticed maybe 10 mins after I left and I had to run back up those steps in the heat. I was very fortunate they had kept my bag for me in the back. I was extremely worried someone may have snatch it. I will definitely come back here on my next trip to Greece.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a fabulous gem of a restaurant, perched in the old town. Probably the most memorable lunch we have had while in Athens. Super relaxed atmosphere and soak in the local flavour and hospitality. Staff attentive and great local cuisine. From the vine tomatoes, the Mousakka and the lamb cutlets some of the best. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
