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.

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.

James Joyce Irish Pub **** €10

I absolutely love that place. It has a the look and feel of a real irish pub (minus the annoying customers that sometimes smoke inside). The drinks and food are also inspired from their UK counterparts. Great choice if you need a place to relax and have a drink in the center of Athens.

Naytoiko **** €16

This is my favorite taverna in Greece: super-cheap food, superb quality, upscale surroundings, organic ingredients, friendly service, open kitchen. Can't imagine what else I would want from a place like this - it's definitely one of Patra's favorites.

Crepilateion **** €5

Κρεπηλατείον

This incredible tiny joint - in the shape of a train wagon - serves superb crepes until very very very late night. Ideal to try after a night out. There is no sit-down service, but there is a small room with benches to sit down for a few minutes before you get going again.

Singore Pizza **** €15

One of the premier pizzas in Greece, this small chain located in Patra offers superb pizzas. They are probably influenced by the Italians just across the Adriatic sea!
