Hello guys, greetings from Athens. My father is the Manager of Krinos, so if you come to Athens again it would be a pleasure to arrange a tour inside the shop to look from inside what's happening and all the process of Loukoumades and anything else that is handmade since 1923. Looking forward to see you!!

[@locavore_eats]

Hello!! We absolutely loved the food at Krinos!! We will definitely be visiting again when we go back to Athens. Hope to see you then!!

[@annehajdu8654]

Sounds delicious.

[@ruel1087]

I stayed in Athens for almost 10 days in the central area of Monasteraki. I really enjoyed authentic Greek foods in vintage restaurants in Plaka and most especially in the central market of Athens which is frequented by the locals with very reasonable price

[@gpan62]

Love Greek cabbage rolls...covered in avgolimono sauce ("egg-lemon")

[@leilamarilynhunt1371]

Hello being Greek from Cairns, no food compares to Greek food from Greece, to Agrinio was my favourite eatery in Athens for meats, I'm glad you guys like Greek food and thank you for sharing

[@wuichong]

I will be visiting this coming April, I will follow exactly this food recommendation.

[@geohan1619]

Another great spot for breakfast is "Stani" (Στάνη) near Omonia Square. One of the best spots for traditional Greek yogurt and cream along with other breakfast dishes.

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks! We will make sure to go there the next time we're in Athens!!

[@35Justme1]

Thank for the tip, I will go there in May.

Good thing I found this video. This will surely help me on my upcoming trip to greece

[@ioannisgavrilidis3594]

Greetings from Warsaw Poland. I am Greek and I try to visit Athens at least once per year for all these nice food spots. You have visited many awesome and iconic spots and approached the greek culinary culture with the greatest respect. In just one video you showed almost all the spectrum of our foods. I will definitely be watching your videos and if I ever visit some other city you visited I will try everything you recommend

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you so much!!! Hope you are doing well there in Warsaw. We've always wanted to try Polish food too and hopefully get to visit Warsaw one day!!

This is my first time watching your channel and I LOVE GREEK food. I’m Filipina but grew up in Aus and you guys look filo to me. Greek is my fave food even above filo and Italian. I often tell Greeks that Filipinos and Greeks are very similar it’s all all about Food, Familly and Fun. (I also said fighting but king of as a joke) 😂 Don’t come for me it’s just my personal observation. Great video and I have saved your video for my next trip back to Greece. Will be subscribing and watching your vids with anticipation. Efcharisto/Salamat/Thanks 🙏💗

[@locavore_eats]

Hello! Yes we are originally from Manila but live in Auckland 😊 We agree, we really felt the very warm Greek hospitality there and the food was amazing! Also loved how alot of the dishes came with rice 😅

[@johnt6022]

I actually quite enjoyed watching this video. Ive seen plenty of videos of greek restaurants and eateries throughout Greece, but this particular video stands out from the rest.

[@athinaironos9009]

Good job guys!! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🇬🇷 🇬🇷

[@kogkoko3603]

I am very glad that you also visited Greece and liked it. but be sure that you didn't get to know the homemade flavors and the very, very delicious local foods and various recipes. From one end of Greece to the other and also the islands. I suggest you also go to Epirus, prefecture of Ioannina, to Zagorochoria. There are 46 villages, with houses built of stones, the roads with stone slabs and of beauty and food, not to mention the taste and deliciousness. Zagorochoria. Ζαγοροχώρια.

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

Which places would you recommend eating in those areas?

[@evankos1261]

Love yo show 👍I am Greek 🇬🇷 and know you just made me hungry 🤤 👍🇬🇷

Greek food is longer overshadowed by its neighbors. It has become very well known all over the world now. Every state in US will have gyro spanakopita moussaka pastitsio avgolemono soup greek chicken etc... Great video and you guys went to legendary foodie spots. Well done!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💙💙💙

[@sakisgr1396]

I am Greek and the gyro in the United States it's an abomination everywhere because it's an invention that looks like Beefaroni and it tastes nothing like the 1 in Greece

Thank you friends.u went to most places Athenians actually eat so well done

[@richardguardiani8326]

Lots of comments that Greek food is really Turkish food. Well, who were in their countries first, the Greeks or the Turks? The Greeks were. Historically, parts of Turkey had Greek settlements around 500 BC or so. My guess would be the initial influence on the food is Greek with large Turkish and small Italian enhancements.

[@Flemo2140]

Heading to athens next month, just added a bunch of these to my list. You guys are are definitely on my wave length when it comes to food i want to try

OMG you are sooooo right for the free dessert!!

[@philippkucia8442]

Lol, thank you guys for making a video about Greek food in Athens, so delicious. Except of some of the Pita dishes at the in your video mentioned Kostas restaurant, I have never heard before of any dish even though the 'Greek' community is huge here. Spelling can very greatly but here they are called like Souvlaki,Tarama,Bureko, a pastry like thing called Phyllo served with Pistacchio and other Ice Cream, food called Suzuki or Sousoukaki, and most notoriously, Zaziki. Actually it is a sauce but some younger Greek and especially the Non-'Greek'people here eat it like a soup (there might be a separate Zaziki like soup dish but I am sure it tastes better and unknown here) after covering e.g. their salads with it and having mostly unlike in Greece a thick and almost gooey consistency the Non-'Greek' people here eat it bucketwise like some people (I think US-Americans) eat ketchup, dipping everything imaginable from sausage to boiled/baked potatoes into it or drink.

[@gpan62]

In Greece, tripe is lauded as a preventative for a hangover. There are many 24 hour or overnight tripe restaurants. I prefer some tripe on a plate with some lemon squeezed over it. The one time I tried tripe soup I didn't care for it....too...tripey.

[@annamartin3489]

A great video. Glad I found your channel and love greek food.

If you ever do merch, consider "yoghurtlou" as one of your major assets! I'm definitely buying!

It's actually yiaourtloú / γιαουρτλού in Greek which is our rendition of the Turkish term yoğurtlu, which means 'with yoghurt, yoghurty'

Next time try tea called "tea of mountain" tsai tou vounou. It is very healthy. The tip to eat great food in Greece is to make friend a greek and eat their mother's dishes. For desert great is chalva in BBQ with lemon and cinamon especially if you drink retsina is good mezes.
