Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
When journalist-turned-politician Stavros Theodorakis decided to bring the culinary traditions of Crete to Athens, his restaurant became an immediate success with the crème-de-la-crème of the city. The much-heralded delicacies could come straight from yiayia's kitchen, dishes that are as comforting as they are downright delicious. The complimentary glass of raki at the end of your meal is ideal for digestion.
