For Greeks, eating out is a way of life, an entertainment. Local taverns
are places where most of Greeks enjoy their food and drinks until
late at night (2 or 3 am) before going to a night club. It is possible
to eat at every hour of the day in a tavern, a grill place, a restaurant,
a fast food or a souvlaki place. Dinner never starts before 9- 9.30
pm. The wide range of local taverns propose traditional cuisine with
appetizers such as the famous tzatziki and horiatiki salad, a choice
of grilled meats, assortments of seafood and typical Greek wine or
ouzo.
Most of the taverns are quite cheap for the quality they offer. Some
of them even have live bands playing traditional Greek music to accompany
the meal and dance all night long.
A wide range of restaurant proposing Greek or international cuisine
can be found in Athens from quite cheap to very luxurious and elegant
ones.
Service charges are always included in the bill and the customer can
add a tip if he likes to (the custom is usually to live a small amount
to thanks for the service).
Here is a list with some of the best places to enjoy a good meal.
