Modern Times

4.7 ·

Settle into Modern Times, a neighbourhood Greek table that locals and visitors both praise for honest cooking. Work through grilled sardines, pork chop brizola and a bowl of well-loved tzatziki in an unfussy room.

📖

Full description

Modern Times is a low-key neighbourhood restaurant serving simple, traditional Greek food in a deliberately old-school setting. Reviewers praise both the fish and meat dishes, naming the pork chop brizola and grilled sardines as highlights, and one visitor ranks its tzatziki as the city's best.

Staff come across as friendly and the atmosphere as relaxed rather than polished. With a 4.7 rating over more than a thousand reviews and mid-range pricing, it suits an unhurried lunch or dinner with a partner or friends.

It is closed on Mondays, and booking is recommended.

Reviews

Truly excellent neighborhood restaurant with simple greek food. Everything we tried was great, both fish and meat dishes. The highlights were the pork chop “brizola”, the grilled sardines, grilled tsipoura, taramosalata. Highly recommended for food quality and value.
