I was walking in Kerameikos after dinner and was looking to have an after dinner Raki per my usual. I saw this place walking around and without looking at the reviews and thought why not? So I sat down and ordered a raki. It was a pleasant time until I got the bill. I saw that they charged me 2 extra euros for water I never ordered. When I asked the waitress, she instantly became very rude and said 'well' she brought it and thats the way it is! I saw that earlier they didn't charge any of the locals this so its definitely a scam on tourist.I live in Athens (not a tourist) part of the year and I've seen this scam on many places.

This time I didn't. I told the waitress this will be the last time I come here. She said 'I don't care' and left. Well, there are a lot of excellent places in Athens and I'll spend my...
Read moreThis place was absolutely phenomenal. The staff (shoutout V!) and the chef were wonderful and so kind, and the food was some of the best we had over our 10 day trip.

We were in Athens for 4 full days and had dinner here 3 times! We really found a home here and kept coming back, I would eat here every day if I could. This felt like a real neighborhood spot, I can’t recommend this place enough! Prices were super reasonable and the friendly cat Constantina is an adorable plus. If you are nearby, GO EAT HERE! You...
Read moreTonight is our last night in Greece. Sad, yes, but we ended our three week trip here with a superb meal at Cachou. The experience began with a warm welcome. While they offer outdoor dining, we decided to eat inside in a charming area with stone walls, exceptionally comfortable chairs and tables, and a fireplace right out of a Melina Mercouri movie. Please see the attached pictures. The food was amazing! We met the chef, Demetrios, who is talented and passionate about his food. The pictures of his dishes speak for themselves! Given the exceptional level of service and amazing quality of the dishes served, Cachou is an...
