More information on Daphne's

Frescoes adorn the walls of this neoclassical 1830s former home, which includes a shady garden courtyard displaying bits of ancient marble found on-site. Diners from around the world sit at Daphne's tables. The courtyard makes it a real oasis in Athens, especially when summer nights are hot. The food here -- recommended by the New York Times, Travel and Leisure, and just about everywhere else -- gives you all the old favorites with new distinction (try the zesty eggplant salad), and combines familiar ingredients in innovative ways (delicious hot pepper and feta cheese dip). We could cheerfully eat the hors d'oeuvres all night. We have also enjoyed the stifado (stew) of rabbit in mavrodaphne (sweet-wine) sauce and the tasty prawns with toasted almonds. Many nights, live music plays in the background. The staff is attentive, encouraging, endearing, and beyond excellent. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
