A Hidden Gem in Athens: Meigma
Today we had the pleasure of discovering Meigma, a restaurant that beautifully blends the essence of Greek cuisine with a fresh, modern twist. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting—elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a special meal without being too formal.
The chef’s tasting menu was absolutely delicious. Every dish featured familiar Greek flavors reimagined in a contemporary way that surprised us with every bite. You can tell there’s great attention to detail, both in the choice of ingredients and in the creative presentation.

Read moreAbsolutely worth the hype! contemporary Greek cuisine at its best.

We had the chickpeas with calamari, a dish that felt like a warm hug 🤗 absolutely delightful…I could eat buckets of it. The mountain greens with prawns was literally perfection. Definitely best dish I have tried this year.. by far! The ravioli with cheese, egg yolk, and pepper was comforting yet playful, it’s also worth trying! The apple and tahini dessert was simply 🫠 can’t wait to go back and try more dishes The wine selection is fantastic with plenty of options for all tastes and budgets. Excellent service, very knowledgeable and passionate about the food & wine ❤️ In short if you are looking for skilled, comforting, meaningful, high quality Greek cuisine this is the place. Excellent...

But it was worth the...
