East-West Bistro

This place, which opened in 1995 on the main street in Athens, is all the rage. Upstairs, dining is more formal, in a classically styled room where the fare of Northern Italy is sometimes prepared with zest and flavor, though the other dishes are uneven, at best. Depending on the night, many dishes merit a rave, whereas others, such as shrimp and mussels tossed with spaghetti in a mild red-curry cream sauce, don't make it. Try fresh grilled yellowfin tuna with a parsley caper butter or chicken breast breaded with shaved ginger and orange instead. Downstairs is the largest selection of tapas in Athens, including carpaccio and a Thai ratatouille crepe. Main dishes range from jerk chicken to salmon in rice paper.
