Have a seat on the terrace atop Mt. Lycabettus: the Acropolis glitters below, and beyond, Athens unfolds like a map out to the Saronic Gulf. It's tough to compete with such a view and, at times, the food and the service (or both) fail to match it. Standouts include a sumptuous tart of monkfish foie gras and sour apple, and Kobe beef crusted with Greek mountain herbs. No road goes this high: the restaurant is reached by cable car.
