We will be in Athens for a few nights this summer on a family trip with our three teenagers. They are well-traveled and will eat anything. My wife and I are not looking for Michelin spots (this time around anyway). Any good recommendations for the Plaka neighborhood? I know there are a lot of spots from which to choose, but any good recs would be much appreciated. Good wine a bonus, obviously.
Not much help on sit down restaurant but we had great Gyro from a couple of small stalls while walking around. They’re probably all equally good.
Also not a meal, but (just outside the Plaka boundaries) check out Alchemist Cafe for coffee and some awesome pastries
Oinoscent has to be one of my favorite wine bars in the world

DItto Oinoscent. (Kostas is a homie.) And Vintage is also great.
Nolan would be my top dining spot in that general area. I usually go once / year. Yes, Michelin-y. But smartly casual and really good.
For street eats : Tylixto Greek Wrap. (Be prepared to wait.) Kostas souvlaki as well
72H Artisan Bakery.

We had a good meal at Point A. Food was pretty good. Service was great and the view was great.
