More information on Vlassis

Greeks call this kind of food paradisiako (traditional), but paradisiacal is just as good a description. This very reasonably priced food is fit for the gods: delicious fluffy vegetable croquettes, a unique eggplant salad, and hauntingly tender lamb in egg-lemon sauce. Vlassis is so popular with Athenians that it doesn't need even a discreet sign announcing its presence in a small apartment building on hard-to-find Paster. Each time I eat here, I seem to be the only obvious foreigner. Figure the price of a taxi (no more than 10€/$13) into your meal tab; you may feel so giddy with delight after eating that you won't mind the half-hour walk back to Syntagma. 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.
