Ταβέρνα Το Φαγοπότι — Restaurant in Athens

If you’re staying near the Grand Hyatt in Neos Kosmos, this tavern is an absolute must. Tucked away with the charm of a rustic Greek home, it feels like stepping into a warm village kitchen—complete with the faint aroma of a wood-burning fireplace and the welcoming atmosphere of old-world hospitality.

We went for a last minute dinner for my birthday. We ended up having a very special night thanks to the man who served us. All the food was really delicious. The restaurant is an authentic cosy setting to drink good wine over classic Greek food with friends. They didn’t have gigantes on the menu but he rustled them up and they were the best we had all holiday. I couldn’t fault it. And to top it all off he served us free cocktails at the end of the meal with free cake with a candle for my birthday. He did it all on his own volition, we didn’t ask. It was so kind and made it a really special night. I would highly recommend if you want an authentic, non-fussy but...
