Oikeio (pronounced Ikio). Excellent home-style cooking, this modern taverna lives up to its name (meaning ‘homey’). It’s decorated like a cosy bistro, and tables on the footpath allow people-watching without the usual Kolonaki bill. Pastas, salads and international fare are tasty, but try the daily mayirefta (ready-cooked meals), such as the excellent stuffed zucchini, moussaka!. Nice prices. Book ahead on weekends.
