Mikri Venetia
Located in one of Koukaki’s pedestrian streets, Mikri Venetia (Small Venice) is a modern taverna/mezodopoleio. Characterized by modern Greek cuisine, Mikri Venetia serves a set menu, as well as daily dishes. The calamari risotto served with zucchini and basil is particularly tasty, while the cod ‘meatballs’ are a must-try. If the weather allows it, make sure to sit outside and watch the children play in front of the terrace. Here’s to a traditional taste of Athens.

9. Rincon Mexicano
Rincon Mexicano
Don’t head to Rincon Mexicano if you are expecting Tex-Mex food. Rincon Mexicano serves real, traditional Mexican flavors. Owner and main chef Señora Ines prepares and cooks tamales from the heart as well as a plethora of small dishes. And though the menu may be limited in choice, it is definitely full of flavors – the chili con carne is spicy and tasty. They also make a mean margarita.
