Take a break at Melina Mercouri Café, a vintage-styled bistro named after the beloved actress. Order the warm orange pie with an iced chocolate, then choose between the cool interior and the street-side tables.
Full description
Melina Mercouri Café is an old-timey bistro dedicated to the Greek actress, serving all-day dining from coffee and desserts to salads and Greek dishes. Reviewers single out the warm orange pie, served with iced chocolate, and the cosy interior that gives relief from hot days, while outdoor tables look down the street.
It sits at the base of the stairs on the way up to Psaras Taverna, in the Plaka area, and keeps long hours until 12:30 AM, so it works for a coffee break or a relaxed meal.

The orange pie!!!! Omg so good. Best one we had in greece. Warm and juicy! We had it with delicious iced chocolates. It was a great reprief from a hot day sitting inside though there is really cute outdoor seating as well with shade. This would be great in both summer and winter. Service was great and prompt.
