Pull up a chair at Oikonomou Tavern, a lively neighbourhood taverna with honest Greek cooking. Linger over veal stifado and meatballs at a relaxed pace, the way locals do.
Full description
Oikonomou Tavern is a long-running neighbourhood taverna focused on slow-cooked Greek classics at budget-friendly prices, with veal stifado and meatballs called out by reviewers. The mood is lively and unpretentious rather than luxurious, and it opens from 1 PM until 1 AM, which suits a long late lunch that stretches into the evening.
Opinions are mostly positive, though some returning visitors feel quality has slipped, for example with the Greek salad. With a 4.3 rating and a local crowd, it suits those who want an everyday Athenian taverna rather than a refined dining room.

Authentic neighbourhood gem. No fuss. Reasonably priced, slow cooked classics such veal stigato or their meatballs. Don’t expect luxury but expect great food and lively atmosphere.
