It is located in the Thisio area of Athens, and was a lovely 15 - 20 minute stroll from our apartment. The restaurant is listed in both our Athens guidebooks and the New York Times travel section. It was moderately priced (50 Euros for a meal for two, including tip, tax and wine), with great food, lovely atmosphere and a fantastic view. When the weather is warmer the rooftop garden opens up and is supposed to be quite a lively spot--our guidebook suggests arriving around sunset, and sitting with a drink (or two or three) and noshing on various mezedes (appetizers) all evening long.
Our new obsession is the 'Gigantes Tiganti' (this blogger has a nice picture & recipe): extremely tasty deep-fried beans, served at Filistron with a slightly spicy tomato paste sauce. The Gigantes are definitely something I am liking about Greece.
If you come to visit us, we can go here.
