Best places to eat traditional in Greece
8 Dec
The genuine and most fresh food in Athens is at Taverna Mega’s in plateia Anakasa, near Nea Filadelfia.
Finding this place years ago we are still loyal because of the real genuine and daily fresh food from the Family Mega’s who is running this place for decades. The taverna is on the side of the square and in summer time its really relaxing and silent, full of people and children playing. Thanassis is preparing the food in the afternoon as a daily ritual and cook the food to be ready about 6 or 7 in the evening. Not everything is ready cooked though and you can have to wait 20 minutes for the Biftekia, but believe me its really worth the wait. While waiting You simply enjoy a cold Fix beer in the garden watching other people.
This friendly environment is a genuine place of genuine people. Did i tell yo uabout the chicken, this grilled chicken portion with lemon mustard sauce is unbelievable really. The sour and salty mix with the grilled chicken is a real surprice…
Nothing is expensive either and you can easily count 7-12 Euro per head coming as a group, or even less but that depends on your order of course.
