On your way to the hotel, stop here for lunch!

Taverna Manolis is a family-run restaurant in Chalandri, a residential neighborhood of Athens. The atmosphere transports visitors to an old-fashioned Greek taverna setting, with wall decorations like vintage paintings, drawings and photographs. What sets it apart, however, are its strong ties to the music world: performers such as Nick Cave, Depeche Mode and Moby have all dined here. Chef Spyridoula and her husband Manolis are devoted to delivering high quality food, sourcing ingredients from local markets and even serving some dishes influenced by Greek-Turkish cuisine. Diners can look forward to large helpings of freshly prepared fish, seafood, grilled meats, meze, salads and more. Prices are also very reasonable, making Taverna Manolis the perfect spot for a budget-friendly night out – especially on crowded weekends filled with locals and loyal regulars alike.
