A small, unfussy room off Syntagma where Sotiris Kontizas cooks Greek home food crossed with the Japanese and Korean flavours of his upbringing.

The cooking
Comfort with a sharp edge: greens and dumplings, familiar Greek dishes nudged sideways by Asian technique. No ceremony, a great deal of flavour.
Why it is in VANE
Proof that a personal, mongrel kind of cooking, done honestly, beats a hundred careful tasting menus. One of the easiest good meals in Athens.

On this profile: a researched profile, drawn from the restaurant's own record and reporting, not a claim of a first-hand visit. Where we have eaten there, the review says so.
