"Holy shit. Now that's how you Michelin on a budget!
Great staff, constant 'wow' with every meal and overall location. Don't skimp on the bread. 😉
I recommend having a cocktail too. Ask the staff what their combo would be because they do know each menu item."

"Michelin guide listed restaurant specialising in small plates beautifully presented and packed with flavour. Limited number of covers inside with additional outdoor seating when the weather permits. We were slightly crammed on a table for 4 with 5 of us but otherwise the service was excellent with every dish explained and the recommendation of 8-10 menu options between the 5 of us was about right. Notable highlights were the octopus, ravioli, beetroot, the beef, sea bass."
Graham Keeble
"The food here is really excellent. We went for a tasting menu (pre booked). We were there quite early (7pm) which may account for the lack of atmosphere. Servers were very friendly and attentive. Special shout out to the chef and server this evening who were amazing about accommodating my intolerance to chilli- the dishes were delicious and my husband and I both enjoyed them very much!!"

Two days in Athens
On the edge of Plaka, Okio serves tempting Mediterranean cuisine with a contemporary component. Chef Panagiotis Giakalis likes to use produce from the market, where he is to be seen almost every morning. The well-devised dishes sometimes feature surprising combinations – for example, squid with mango and courgette tempura; Angus beef with aubergine and miso – to be savoured on the terrace, beneath the arcades, with a glass of Greek wine or a cocktail.
