This year, the historic Katsourbos celebrates 20 years as the restaurant that led the revival of Cretan cuisine in the Athenian dining scene. Today, it continues with the very same philosophy: warm hospitality, top-tier quality, and a deep passion for cooking. The menu is frequently updated, with ingredients sourced directly from Crete, including organic olive oil. The pasta and bread are handmade.

Signature dishes you must try include the slow-cooked lamb “tsigaristo,” the traditional wedding rice “gamopilafo,” and lamb with stamnagathi (wild Cretan greens). These are staples that no table should go without—just like the wines and spirits, all sourced from the island. Simply grab a table facing the square and enjoy!
