Following their latest assignments in the Greek capital, we asked our inspectors to highlight the original, flavoursome dishes that will live long in their memory. The list below is a selection that showcases the best of Athenian cuisine in 2022.

Fine dining restaurants are also in on the act, and many boast outdoor spaces, whether a shady garden, an intimate patio or a rooftop area with a view of the Acropolis, Mount Lycabettus or even the sea.
