Plakaki Cafe — Restaurant in Athens

Located super close to our hotel (palladium home) at "food square" (it is the whole area and not the name of a restaurant which someone either mislabelled or just wanted to commend all the restaurants located here).

After a very disappointing breakfast the day before, my mom and I were very happy to eat here. My club sandwich had perfectly toasted bread and my mom had 2 eggs over medium and bacon (ham). She said her meal was done superbly. The feta cheese was also fresh and light on my mom's salad (she can't eat dairy so I help remove it from her).

We were also glad to see that not all greek pancakes were flat like crepes and drowned in syrup but rather elegantly drizzled with honey and fluffy as it should be. It was a drastic contrast to the breakfast we had to endure elsewhere in Plaka.

They were opened early while most places were still closed so we might just go there again tomorrow before we head to our cruise. They also serve sandwiches for breakfast so brunch works before check out.

We sat in the covered outdoor seating instead of inside the restaurant so don't have many pictures. My mom is very picky but enjoyed her meal so I can see why they have 4.8 stars. Great quality in breakfast items which is hard since a restaurant that does all 3 meals aren't always paying attention to how they cook their eggs in the morning. Never got a chance to try their dinner items, maybe next time if I visit Athens again.

Update: second visit and the food is even better. Eggs were less runny on the over medium request and my mom's bread was warm this time. We did come earlier at 7:20 am versus 8:30 am but we noticed that both times it took 20-30 minutes to get our food after ordering. My mom thinks it is due to the fact that most people only do coffee while we ordered full breakfast items so the kitchen may not be prepped. I don't think this is the case but the food is always...

Visiting Plaka Key Cafe in Athens was a delightful experience, especially for breakfast. Their scrambled eggs and bread set a high standard for the meal, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. The owner's warmth and hospitality shone through, especially when he surprised us with the offer of unlimited cappuccino refills. We indulged in just one more, but it was a thoughtful touch that enhanced our experience. Additionally, a pleasant conversation with the barista, who crafted our espresso, perfectly rounded off our visit. This cafe in the heart of Plaka not only served great food but also created a memorable atmosphere through its...
