Paradosiako

The Plaka Cuisines: European, Greek

About

If you don't go there for the olive oil that's green as a freshly cut lawn, or the eggplant salad (melitzanosalata) that will make you stand up, pat your head and rub your tummy, the grilled calimari, plates of fresh red mullet or, most lethal, Bakaliaro" served with a vampire-destroyingly delicious sidekick called "Skodia." (garlic) ...if none of these things get you to go to Paradosiako tucked in the "foyer" of Plaka on Voulis street, just go to watch the owners fight. It is run by a husband and wife team in such a tight operation you wonder if there's enough oxygen on the sidewalk for everyone, and yet nowhere will you get a truer appreciation of Greek matrimony. Entertainment and fantastic food rarely come together at such a bargain. Average meal: 10-15 euros a person. Excellent beer and ouzo selection.
