Our verdict
Con Christopoulos and Stavros Konis lead the charge with this Athenian-style diner, where crisp fried sweetbreads, slow-cooked olive oil-forward dishes and lively horiatiki showcase Greek cuisine well beyond the expected. Add a glass of assyrtiko, a slice of orange fillo cake and the easy warmth of Hellenic hospitality, and it’s clear why Kafeneion has become a city favourite.
