A legendary, minimalist tavern next to the Naval Academy that serves only fried fish, salad, and bread.

Signature
Perfectly crisp, deep-fried red mullet.

We had read about this place and wanted to try it so we made our way to an unassuming side street tucked away next to the naval academy in Piraeus. The reputation this restaurant has is deserved - we had an incredible meal and very friendly service. We loved the simplicity of the menu. Fresh food cooked perfectly! Special mention for the complimentary orange cake they gave us at the end of the meal - it was delicious and the perfect end to a culinary experience.

If you want pampering, look elsewhere. Here, you get three things, red mallet, prawns, and Greek salad all perfect. Their quality remains unchanged for decades. Location is perfect for a seaside stroll afterwards, and prices very reasonable. An absolute must on every visit to Athens.

This is a truly local gem that comes alive at night. They keep it simple with three dishes that pair perfectly with a cold Greek beer. The shrimp was buttery and flavorful, and the mullet was flaky and delicious. While the Greek salad wasn’t the best we've had, enjoying the shrimp and mullet while sitting outside with a refreshing sea breeze made us forget this downside. It gets even cozier with the lively groups and interesting people filling the place. It’s a real community vibe, even some dogs and cats—joining in on the meal.
