What an address. This restaurant is one of the best Athens can offer in terms of seafood. Located a few blocks off Piraeus port, this hidden gem (that has been getting more popular through the past year) starts by specifying with full transparency on the menu what is fresh and what is frozen. Honestly both are good but let me guide you through the best order.

First, you should trust the staff! We were recommended the best plates by Ilias, and like everywhere in Greece, he didn’t hesitate to tell us when it was too much. We started with a very tasty bouillabaisse soup. It’s just the soup (no seafood inside) but had an amazing taste and was superb for a cold winter night. Then, the plates started rolling one after the other. Marinated seabass was a must have, the mussels were better than anywhere else, the fried squid in pepper sauce are ABSOLUTELY a not miss, anchovies were very nice and the fried zucchini were an very good pairing side to all of this. The only OK dish was the dolma (stuffed vine leaves). We finished by the delicious lobster pasta, the shrimp pasta looked also extremely tasty.But the quality, taste and service are un matched.

The great thing is that you can feel that they are busy, but this doesn’t prevent them from cooking the best food I have had in Athens, and give you the best service. Ilias was our great friend on that night. Thanks again and definitely an address to return...

I have visited the place 2 - 3 times in the past and I was well satisfied but this time I would not say the same. I will start with the positive staff first (fries-kalamari-fava)were tasty but fried fishkoutsomoura a dissapontment not worth the 12 euros, very small size fish and overdone in result the fish was dry and you had nothing to eat..The Greek salad was poor. The shrimp pasta was forgotten, we had to remind them about it and when it finally came it was a very small portion which was not justifying the price of 17 euros!!!!

For 2 people we paid 80 euros including a very generous tip and the treat for that was a lousy halva corner piece(greek traditional sweet) which doesn't cost to the restaurant a cent.

We won't come back cause we felt like we were not appreciated at all.Next time we will go elsewhere to spend our money since there they do not appreciate clients and probably 80 euros were not enough for a descent desert treat or something from...
