1. South Kitchen & Bar

After recently trying this restaurant within the last few months, it has reached the top of the list for one of the best places to eat in Athens. The theme is a mix between southern and French cuisine that the kitchen excels at achieving. The menu has a dish to cater for everyone's tastes. A personal favorite, the Pork Belly dish is to die for.

2. Last Resort

This restaurant isn't famous all across the country for no reason, its time after time classic last resort entrees are always a favorite go-to for a night out. With the space always packed with hungry customers, Last Resort will always remain a lasting favorite.

3. Iron Factory

Iron Factory is incredibly unique compared to the other restaurants downtown. It's “Korean barbecue" theme restaurant is quite an experience and a very wonderful one. The atmosphere, friendly staff, and cooking on the table is a great experience to treat yourself. The food ranges from chicken to red pepper pork belly usually consisting with incredible side dishes like kimchi fried rice and a ginger salad.

4. Porterhouse Grill

If you're looking for the best steaks in Athens, you've definitely reached the right place. Porterhouse is specially known for this and cooked perfectly to exactly how you like. It has a very sophisticated atmosphere and is always the perfect place to eat when you've brought up an appetite.

5. Five Bar

Although the word bar is in the title, it is hardly known for their drinks. Five Bar has continuously created incredible appetizers and entrees that keep customers always coming back. One of the most popular and tasty dishes they offer is the crab stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon, complete with an excellent side salad and cheesy risotto. Five Bar is definitely one of my personal favorite restaurants and will always continue to be.
