Zigoala

A deeply personal tavern on Lykourgou Street, halfway between Omonia and Kotzia Square, that arrived as Athens' big hit of the season. Zigoala weaves food, music, memory and companionship into something hard to categorise — part modern tavern, part tapas bar, entirely its own thing. The aesthetic is warm and disarming, the cooking rooted in Greek tradition with a contemporary lightness. One of the more quietly special rooms in the city right now.
