Mike And Maria’s Guidebook for Athens
Food scene
This restaurant is not to be missed. 5 mins walk up the road. The food is so good! Even for greek standards. It's very popular among the local Athenians so I would ring them and book a place before you go.

So the greeks do this thing called paidakia - it's basically bbq lamb chops. Simple and delicious and this place does them the best, there are two of the same restaurants on this road - go to either. It's just next to the parthenon so a really good idea to combine this with you visit to the Acropolis.
