Bairaktaris Syntagma Square — Restaurant in Athens

This was an unexpected gem of a pit stop on our way to the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of seating space upstairs, which was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the street below.

The service was fantastic, with the staff going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. And the food... well, let's just say it was VERY tasty. We were impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the care that had clearly been put into preparing the dishes.

Another thing that stood out to us was the reasonable prices, especially considering the central location. It was definitely a better choice than the McDonald's next door, and we were happy to support a local business that clearly took pride in their food and service.

Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience at this little gem of a restaurant. Whether you're in a rush and need a quick bite, or you want to sit down and enjoy a meal in a cozy atmosphere, this place is well worth a visit. The service, the food, and the prices all make it a great choice, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal in the heart...

Even my partner was worried because he’s like “I think that guy is about to take their tip”. WE HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR FOOD SERVICE WORKERS TOO BECAUSE THEY DEAL WITH A LOT. To top it off, when we ordered the food, and we modified the order from fries to rice, THE SAME WHITE GUY HAD AN ATTITUDE. I had to tell him that I’m paying for it and that’s how what I wanted. Even to get us some taziki sauce to dip. He had an attitude. Like I said, the food is very good, but it’s disturbing that this guy is stealing tips from these young men who go back and 4th on their feet for a...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience at Bairaktaris Syntagma – Authentic Greek hospitality at its finest!

We had the absolute pleasure of filming an episode of the Mofo Show at your restaurant, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, your team welcomed us like family. Their warmth, professionalism, and passion truly reflect the heart and soul of Greek hospitality.

The food was nothing short of exceptional—authentic Greek flavors crafted with love and tradition since 1879. Every bite of your kabobs and gyros told a story of heritage and dedication. You can taste the history and pride in each dish.

A huge thank you to the entire staff for treating us with such kindness and energy throughout our shoot. It was an honour to capture your story and share a taste of Greece with our audience.

If you’re ever in Athens, this is the place you must try for a true Greek experience—authentic, historic, and full of heart. 🇬🇷💙
