Ama Lachei

The experience

Housed in a restored neoclassical former schoolhouse on Kallidromiou, this Exarchia mezedopoleio serves shareable Greek small plates in a bougainvillea-draped courtyard that was once the school playground. Expect crispy hand-cut chips, fried cheese pies with honey and mint, cinnamon-spiced meatballs and a long list of Greek cheeses and regional dishes, built for slow, table-covering meals with tsipouro or wine.

A beloved locals' mezedopoleio where the food and the tree-shaded courtyard both deliver.
