The experience

On Arrianou in Pangrati, this compact mezedopoleio (Black Sheep) has been one of Athens' toughest reservations since it opened in 2010. Two small indoor rooms and pavement tables fill nightly for a rotating list of modern Greek small plates - grilled and marinated meats, seafood, cheeses and vegetables - meant to be shared over tsipouro. A welcome shot of raki and tomato-topped bruschetta greet you.

Athens' hardest-to-book mezedopoleio, and the shared plates justify the effort.
