ΑΤΤΑΛΟΣ εστιατόριο-μαγειρείο — Restaurant in Athens

📍 Attalos is a restaurant located on Adrianoy street that offers a view of the ancient Agora of Athens.

🚶🚶 However, our experience was not entirely pleasant as we were seated on the terrace, which turned out to be a mistake due to the heavy traffic on the street. It was a bit uncomfortable, and we couldn't fully relax. Additionally, the weather was chilly, which didn't help the situation.

Surprisingly good!

We thought we would have trouble finding somewhere nice to eat near the Ancient Agora as it's so touristy but we had a great lunch at Attalos.

The wait staff were very friendly, we got a lovely table outside in the shade and even though it was busy we didn't feel rushed at all.

We had a cucumber and tomato salad, a whole grilled squid and a moussaka, all of which were delicious.

The only downside was the bathrooms - they had two ladies toilets but both the doors were completely broken so you couldn't close either of them at all. I hope they fix this because it's extremely...
