Oikeio

With excellent home-style cooking, this modern taverna lives up to its name (meaning ‘homey’). It’s decorated like a cosy bistro on the inside, and tables on the footpath allow people-watching without the normal Kolonaki bill. Pastas, salads and international fare are tasty, but try the mayirefta (ready-cooked meals) specials, such as the excellent stuffed zucchini. Book ahead.
