Choni Mezedopoleio Restaurant — Restaurant in Athens

Support this neighborhood establishment! It's definitely worth a visit. Service was beyond excellent. Steve was very kind, friendly and helpful. Even though their kitchen was supposed to close, they agreed to keep it open because I was coming in in a later flight that had some delays (I arrived at around 22:45 on a Sunday night). They were beyond kind, and let us sit and have dinner although everywhere else was closed. The food was excellent. We can highly recommend the marinated gavros, fava and of course the horiatiki salad. Make sure to ask for the house tsipouro - it was smooth and wonderful. They even offered some portakaopita at the end, which was delicious. I will certainly visit again. Thank you...

The wine (recommended by Steve) paired beautifully. And a big compliment to Steve – polite, attentive, and genuinely caring. A hidden gem in Athens – authentic, warm, and truly exceptional. Highly...

We ordered: tzatziki, homemade bread, Greek salad, 2 chicken souvlaki, sea bass fillet (it's a real fillet, no bones found!) and spaghetti neapolitano. The food was very good (tasted homemade just like promised), the portions big and the service (Stavros) very friendly and helpful. At first we had doubts because the place is new and we were the only customers at the time (Monday afternoon). However we trusted Stavros who invited us in from the street and are very happy we did. The place also has vegetarian options, so everybody can find something to eat. We also tried the local ouzo - it was awesome, but very strong so be careful with the amount if you wanna walk home without...
