5 Best Restaurants in Glyfada, Attica and Delphi

'AVIT

$
A beachy vibe pervades this hip inner-city vegan café, its terrace fenced off by bamboo. The menu is entirely plant-based, with chewy mushroom gyros, buddha bowls, veggie burgers, and triple-fried potato wedges the star attractions. The latter comes with a choice of sauces, of which the tangy black garlic sriracha is unmissable.

Ark

$$$
Like its near neighbor, Balux Cafe, Ark is part of the Asteras Complex, an attempt to turn a stretch of sandy beach into your entire day: lounging, dinner, drinks, dancing. Ark, however, is focused on the culinary side, and under the guidance of chef Yannis Baxevanis it is a tempting affair. By day the café churns out smoothies, excellent coffees, and cakes; by night its waterside setting (including tables that line a jetty jutting into the harbor) indulges chef's Greek-French culinary leanings, from organic beef tenderloin served with a potato tart, to his signature wild local sea bass cooked in a wood-fired oven.

George's Steak House

$

This spot feels a bit like meat corner: a steakhouse opposite another steakhouse, next to a grillhouse—and, bizarrely, a krav maga dojo. But George's trumps them all. What started out as a butcher's shop in 1951 has expanded over the decades, prompted by regulars from the old U.S. Airforce Base before it shut. Back then this area was dubbed "Burger City," and little has changed. Steaks and biftekia (thick, grilled, hamburger-like patties of ground beef and pork served without a bun) still hit the plate with regularity. The service is fast, so don't be disappointed if all the tables are taken; there's a continuous stream of diners coming and going. You get value for your money here.

Sardelaki

$
There are two big rivals in the eyes of locals for the crown of best seafood in Glyfada: Barbouanki and Sardelaki. The former is fully franchised across Greece now; Sardelaki (meaning "sardine"), on the other hand, has stuck to the region where it all started, with restaurants in both Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, and feels a little more authentic because of it. It's also excellent. The Vouliagmeni branch might have the views, but this is where it began. A menu packed with fried anchovies, classics like saganaki shrimp, and grilled sardines with tomato and onion ticks all the comfort food boxes at a good value.

To Spiti

$$
This stylish Mediterranean eatery rarely disappoints, and the Glyfada branch (there's another one in Athens) feels likeably hidden away despite being on the corner of Lazaraki and Dousmani. The discreet entrance reveals a rather polished interior and a menu that does the simple stuff really well yet throws in the odd surprise, such as the octopus with caramalized onions and fava, or a prosciutto spaghetti with dill and mustard sauce. Tasty pizzas, salmon pastas, meatballs, and the usual Italian crowd favorites bulk out a menu fit for lunch or dinner.
