More information on Spondi
Athinorama, the weekly review of the Athenian scene, has chosen Spondi several years running as the best place in town. The menu features light dishes -- the fresh fish, especially the salmon, is superb -- as well as dishes that you will find either delightful or a bit cloying (roast pork with myzithra cheese and a fig-and-yogurt sauce). The setting, a handsome 19th-century town house with a courtyard, is lovely; the wine list, extensive; the service, excellent; and the desserts, divine. You'll probably want to take a cab here. 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.
