Καφενειο · Μεζεδοπωλειο · Open daily until 2am

A traditional taverna in the heart of Plaka.

Honest Greek meze, ouzo poured slow and coffee that lingers — on a vine-shaded terrace where the Acropolis stands close enough to touch.

01 — Our Story

A whole era comes alive in the alleys beneath the rock

Tucked into the winding lanes of Anafiotika — the island village built within Plaka by craftsmen from the Cyclades — our café-mezedopoleio has welcomed wanderers for decades. By day, the terrace sits dappled under vine and plane tree; by night, it glows with candles and strings of warm light.

We are family-run and proudly traditional. Expect honest Greek meze, ouzo poured slow, coffee that lingers, and a rooftop where the Acropolis stands close enough to touch. Sit a while. There is no hurry here.

“Καλώς ήρθατε — welcome, as if to our own home.”
