Abyssinia Cafe

This small cafe in a ramshackle building sports a nicely restored interior featuring lots of gleaming dark wood and polished copper. It faces lopsided Abyssinia Square off Ifaistou, where furniture restorers ply their trade and antiques shops sell everything from gramophones to hubcaps. You can sit indoors or out with a coffee, but it's tempting to snack on Cheese Abyssinia (feta scrambled with spices and garlic), mussels and rice pilaf, the marinated anchovies, or keftedes (meatballs). Everything is reasonably priced here, but it's easy to run up quite a tab, because everything is so good -- especially the mezedes that are superior to the main courses. For a quieter experience, book a table on the mezzanine with its awesome views.
