Glyfada’s culinary scene keeps getting better with new restaurants, cafes, and bars popping up all the time, giving us more options for our outings. This month, we’ve got our eyes on four new arrivals in Glyfada that have piqued our interest.
First up, over at 2nd Marina, right next to the local fishermen’s hangout, we’ve got Astakos (Diadochou Pavlou 46, 2nd Marina), the new seafood hotspot in town helmed by chef Angelos Bakopoulos. It’s a chic yet laid-back outdoor space with a boho vibe and retro touches reminiscent of seaside tavernas from decades past. You’ll be greeted with a trolley stocked with tsipouro from all over Greece, followed by a platter loaded with irresistible starters. Next, dive into mains like shrimp moussaka, seafood pasta, tuna with sour trahana, or octopus stifado. The fish soup is already winning hearts, along with the hammerhead skate à la polita, serving up the magic of the sea on a plate.
Right at the heart of Glyfada, there’s a new gem called Vélo(17 Doumani St.), which just opened its doors in February. It’s aiming to become your go-to spot for all-day dining in the area. At Vélo, your day begins with a tempting brunch menu featuring fluffy omelets, sweet and savory pancakes, and a delectable caramelized tsoureki stuffed with vanilla-infused cream, savory caramel, and hazelnuts. After 13:00, Chef Stathis Amaxopoulos takes over with creatively crafted Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Winenona(10 Giannitsopoulou St.), which also recently opened near Hariton Square, is making waves with its chic space, inviting atmosphere, and welcoming vibes. It’s the ideal spot for an after-work drink in the afternoon and transforms into a perfect dinner destination later in the evening, with a curated selection of Greek and international wines and a menu that complements the experience perfectly. We highly recommend trying their pinsa or one of their sharing platters.
Last but certainly not least, at the higher end of Glyfada, a new delicatessen named Bonama (80 Dim. Gounari St.) has recently opened its doors. It boasts a wide variety of cheeses, charcuterie, and local products from across Greece on its shelves. Additionally, there’s a diverse selection of wine labels to choose from. However, Bonama isn’t just about shopping for home. You can also enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine in the store, paired with some of their delights, such as a scrumptious sandwich made with freshly baked bread.
