Athens: Food review

Food, one of my favourite topics to blog about. Even as I compiled and gathered the pictures together, it makes me hungry just to look at these yummy food.

1. Breakfast at the hotel

Mind my half-eaten croissant,cheese, egg and ham

2. Ariston

Read about this place during our research, and without a doubt I told hubby that we must come here.
The pies are hearty and cheap (about 2 Euro/pie). This shop is located at Syntagma area. Apparently this pie shop has been around for since 1910, hence one of the oldest bakeries in Athens. There are many types of pies to choose from, namely cheese pie, fish pie, meat pie, just to name a few. We got the cheese pie and meat pie respectively and happily munched them as we walked around.

3. Smile Cafe Restaurant

This is another restaurant which is highly recommended in Trip Advisor. Smile Cafe Restaurant is located within walking distance to the Acropolis. They even provide free maps of the sites and monuments situated around the restaurant. The food here are reasonably priced. Check out the restaurant here

4. Postscript

As we warned on Trip Advisor not to go out late at night (dangerous), we decided to eat dinner at the nearest available restaurant to the hotel. On the first night, we stumbled upon this shop. We didn't know the name of the shop as it was written in Greek. Later we found out that the English name is 'Postscript' or PS

Their serviette

Bread is definitely served at every restaurant. Even if you ask the waiter/waitress to take it away, it has already been included in the cover charge.

Pork in wine sauce with rice....super yummy!

Beef in tomato sauce and rice..equally mouth-watering!

After the Acropolis climb, and the museum tour, we were both exhausted. Went back to the hotel and pigged out until almost 9pm. We decided to go back to Postscript for our dinner due to the generous food portion and the cheap price.

** When dining at any restaurant in Europe, it is good to tip (about 1-2 Euros)
