4 Diogenous Street, Athens, Greece
From $0/night
Concierge "Platanos is just what you want when you set out to eat unpretentious, grilled, and unreconstructed Greek dishes (try the lamb with artichoke, and the eggplant salad)."
Fodor's "Set on a picturesque pedestrianized square, this is one of the oldest tavernas in Plaka (established 1932)." Full review
Frommer's "Indoors, the walls are decorated with great old black and white photos and outside, tables spread beneath a shady plane tree (platanos means plane tree)." Full review
Lonely Planet "Dig into reliable home-style fare, such as chicken with okra, at tables under a giant plane tree." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Taking its name from the plátanos (plane) tree outside, this 1932-founded taverna showcases meat-based stews and laderá (cooked vegetable dishes) in its repertoire."
Rough Guide "A long-established taverna, with outdoor summer seating in a quiet square under the plane tree from which it takes its name."
Rough Guide "One of several evening-only tavernas around the main square of the upper town, serving inexpensive, earthy rural food (the owners also have a butcher’s shop)."
Frommer's "The walls are decorated with great old black and white photos and outside, tables spread beneath a shady plane tree...on the plates, the food has been consistently good spitiko fageto since 1932." Full review
