Tromero Paidi — Restaurant in Athens

This French inspired bakery and patisserie, that is housed in a renovated old low-rise house in Ilisia, is another great addition to the Athens foodie scene! 😊😊

Also the seasonal (?) pistachio-orange blossom babka is a real treat. No English labels in the displays but if you know your French pastries, you’ll recognize them, and the ladies who work there are always happy to help with explaining...
