Fodor's Expert Review Roloi

This mezedopoleio in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Proskopon Square has had a change of ownership, which is reflected in an updated and more affordable menu. After you have tried the day's special or a round of mezedes: roasted red peppers stuffed with goat cheese, bekri meze ("drunken" meat stew), the marinated anchovies, and a range of salads in season, sip a complimentary homemade limoncello while you enjoy dessert which is also on the house. In warm weather tables go out on the platia (square) under the shady trees; in winter, seating is in a split-level dining room with a chic ambience (the walls are adorned by many clocks—roloi—which inspired the name of the place).
