Vlassis

Frommer's Review

Greeks call this kind of food paradisiako (traditional), but paradisiacal is just as good a description. This reasonably priced food is fit for the gods: delicious fluffy vegetable croquettes, a unique eggplant salad, and hauntingly tender lamb in egg-lemon sauce. Vlassis is so popular with Athenians that it doesn't need even a discreet sign to announce its presence -- which is in an old mansion around the corner from the American Embassy on hard-to-find Paster. Figure the price of a taxi (no more than 10€/$13) into your meal tab, although you may feel so giddy with delight after eating that you won't mind the half-hour walk back to Syntagma.
