• Κατσαρόλα, within walking distance and close to the Metro station Acropolis (Syggrou 29 & Th. Negri), offers traditional and modern greek cuisine in a space with plenty of light and unobtrusive jazz music in the background. They usually prepare different dishes each day and there is typically no selection of dishes one would find in a typical tavern (της ώρας). The cost was very low the last time I was there (3 months ago, they re-opened on mid-September) and should not exceed 20 euros for a 3 course meal including the wine. (circular)
• Φελλός, at Drakou str, just a few steps from the Syggrou-Fix metro station exit. It offers several dishes at affordable prices, but the best thing about it is that it offers a very updated and extensive selection of greek wines (hence its name), and there is a sommelier available for your assistance in choosing one to accompany one's dinner. The prices are not as low as (1) but again a 3 course meal including wine should not exceed 30 euros. (circular)
