Vasso's *** €40

Maybe even better than the nearby Tasia, it offers great food at expensive prices. €17 for a simple salad? Gee!

Casa Grec **** €25

Maybe the best restaurant in Kefallonia, this rustic-decorated restaurant offers great dishes at very cheap prices. Service, environment, food, they were all excellent.

Altamira ** €45

This is a mix of 4 different cuisines (Mexican, Indian, Asian, Middle-Eastern). The food is fairly good, as you get an idea on how each cuisine tastes like. However by no means you can call the dishes "traditional" - it's just a first taste. Be careful not to mix many different dishes together though. I found the place rather expensive for the quality of food they offer.

Galaxy Bar ***** €20

What an awesome bar! At the top of the Hilton Hotel, it has an outdoor patio, great views of the Acropolis as well as most of Athens. Super-expensive (a coke costs €7.20), but it's definitely worth going at least once. Probably my favorite bar in Athens. Thumbs way up!

Noodle Bar ** €11

Cheap, fast-food type asian restaurant chain, but with some unexpectedly high-quality dishes (such as the fried rice with vegetables).

Rosebud *** €7

Excellent warm and cozy cafe-bar in the heart of Kolonaki in central Athens. 

Base Grill **** €40

What a superb steakhouse - the owners are twins that have studied and perfected the process of serving a perfect steak (spalomprizola). They take care of all the steps, from growing and nurturing the animals to the exceptional cooking. The service is not great - they prefer to bring the meats medium-rare no matter what your preference. Also, the reservation game is a nightmare. However, it is probably the best steaksouse in Greece right now.
