In the ’90s, Athenians could only dream of the variety and quality of street food that exists in their city today; ‘street food’ at that time meant only souvlaki and koulouri. Over the last 15 years however, with a broad and colourful influx of cultures to the capital and with a rise in innovative entrepreneurship amongst Greeks, the capital has seen a welcome explosion of top quality places serving freshly made, tasty, imaginative and authentic street food.

With influences from as far and wide as Vietnam and Asia Minor, Italy, North and South America and the Middle East, Athens is now spoilt for choice. The foods served at the places we present here, in the most thorough and varied guide you’ll currently find online, are mostly made by expert cooks who have firsthand experience of the recipes and ingredients they are serving with love and care, and it shows. Here we showcase our tried and tasted selection of places that serve flavour-packed dishes that can be enjoyed on the hoof. We have not centred on souvlaki, pizza or burgers, as there are many wonderful places specialising in only those foods that deserve their own presentation. Most places described here are located in the town centre, offering the perfect food stop while you are exploring the Athens’ most exciting spots and landmarks.

Alfonso Alvarez, affectionately known as Poncho, runs this small and vibrant taco spot near Syntagma. The menu offers three kinds of tacos and quesadillas. Each day, Poncho and his team prepare fresh masa de mais taco dough, which is then topped with choices like mushroom, pork gyro, or chicken, and garnished with cheese, spring onion, pineapple, and coriander. For added zest, lime wedges and a selection of sauces, including salsa verde, chipotle, and habanero, are available. They also serve unique homemade beverages like agua de Jamaica and agua de tamarindo, tequila-based cocktails and craft beers.

Located at the entrance of the Varvakeio Meat Market on Athinas in Psyrri, Volvi is a compact eatery, occupying just two-by-two metres, yet it’s a hub of culinary enjoyment. Specialising in a limited yet memorable menu, they serve pork souvlaki skewers and soutzoukakia, which are meatballs baked in a rich, spiced tomato sauce. Freshness is key here, as the meat is sourced daily from nearby butchers. Customers relish the tender pork skewers, served either in a pita wrap or as a main dish with tomato, onion, chilli flakes and mustard.

This modern souvlaki joint, a creation of the team behind the chic Cookoovaya restaurant, offers a refined twist on classic street food. Located in Monastiraki in a spacious setting with high ceilings, it has four areas: a bakery, a fresh produce section, a butcher’s counter, and a grill station. At its heart lies a large marble bench where cooks in aprons meticulously prepare ingredients. The menu includes four types of premium meat – pork, beef, chicken, and ewe – presented in three styles: wrapped in small pitas, atop pitta bread, or served over thin, crispy, hand-cut fries. For those preferring vegetarian options, the eatery offers calamari or dolmadaki (stuffed vine leaves) in pita, alongside salads and aubergine dip.

Cantina Mavili

This is one of the city’s most beloved ‘vromiko’ (‘dirty’, the classic term Greeks use for street-food) hot dog and sandwich spots in the city. Located at the back of Mavili Square, for decades it has catered to Athens’ boozy night owls streaming from the surrounding bars since 1989. Its chicken nuggets literally covered in mayo sauce and its large hot dogs with fluffy buns, are best enjoyed loaded with coleslaw, pickled carrots, onions, and a variety of oozy sauces. Top it off with several dashes of dash of Tabasco.

Cocona, a quiet corner on a buzzy pedestrian road in Kolonaki, sells a mouthwatering array of traditional Greek pies with an Asia Minor influence. The secret to Cocona’s unparalleled taste lies in the quality of the ingredients used; the vegetables and herbs are always fresh, and they exclusively use fine extra virgin olive oil in all their preparations. The menu includes tray-baked options like the spinach and feta cheese pie, mushroom, chicken, and herb-rich greens pie. Apart from the presence of its welcoming and effervescent owner Ioanna, the most special feature is the Mikrasiatiko Gkiouzleme, a thin, curved metal-baked pastry rolled out daily using a traditional rolling pin and filled with choices fresh mushrooms, spinach with herbs, pastourma & kasseri cheese.

Lacantina, a quaint eatery established in 2016 in Exarcheia, is more than meets the eye. Inspired by his travels in Asia and Europe, its owner created a canteen that doubles as a compact restaurant. Specializing in ethnic street food, it offers a culinary journey from Lebanon to India. Highlights include uniquely prepared falafel with fava beans, as made in Egypt, and unconventional salads like that with mung beans with goat cheese and balsamic dressing. The bestseller, the Chicken Curry Wrap, is a must-try, with chicken cooked in coconut milk with mushrooms and peppers. Also, the daily selection of seven velvety soups, ranging from classic celery root to chestnut soup with cognac, offer feel-good warmth on a cold day.
