Mediocre experience - Edit
Came to the resturant at 830pm to try their lion's mane mushroom steak, but they were out of it. Then asked for the burger sliders, but they were out of them. We ended up just getting the moussaka. We started with the me*ball terokafteri and the hummus and sausage. We ordered bread as well. The bread was fresh and amazing. The ME*ball dish was not good. It was 3 small meatballs (reminded me of frozen gardin brand) on a small bed of a spread that tasted to my unrefined palate like hummus. It was very uninspiring. The hummus and sausage was very well prepared and quite tasty, but the portion was small. The moussaka was just not good. It was bland and seemed to be missing the vegan meat substitute that would have brought the texture and flavor together. Their signature dessert, the baklava cheesecake, was very good, and the portion was too large for us to finish. The service was excellent, we were sorry that the food did not match it. I can't recommend this restaurant, but to be fair, I did not have the dishes that I went there to experience.

Classy with traditional Greek option - Edit
This was a nice change of pace from the very casual counter-service type restaurants. Was classy with delicious & creative cocktails. Menu had some traditional Greek options such as moussaka. My favorite part was a baklava cheesecake. I dream about it still. Went the next night just for dessert and a cocktail.

Great dining experience in the heart of Athens - Edit
The service at Avit was amazing, even before we arrived our reservation was super taken care of. After some kitchen issues we arrived a little later and had all the restaurant for our self. The menu is packed with great things and we had some amazing Cesar salad, Lino’s mane mushroom steak and the Chitarra pasta.
Read moreWe especially recommend the gratin coming with the steak the most. But steak and pasta were also an excellent choice. The drinks were also great we recommend Crossroads and the one with ginger, 10/10! The baklava cheese cake in the end blew our mind and of course is a must for everyone dining here. Thanks again for this wonderful first evening in Athens. And hopefully see you sooner than later.

Large portions with unique taste - Edit
We were a couple, and we ordered the calamari fritti, greek salad, lion's mane, and burger twin. It was a bit too much for us. Portions were big and fulfilling.
Read moreThe ingredients tasted fresh and of high quality.
I would have reduced the quantity of the pickles in the burger since it was too sour for our taste.
Service was excellent!
I really recommend to visit.

Delicious and creative dishes! - Edit
We came here for dinner and loved it!
Read moreIt's a lovely little restaurant with a great selection of dishes. Our server was also really lovely and attentive.
For our starters we went for the wild farmed sourdough, Me*tballs with tirokafteri and Calamari fritti.
All three dishes were excellent! The sourdough was hot with a crispy crust and lovely soft chewy flavoursome centre. It came with a lovely big pot of olive oil for dipping. The me*tballs had a lovely chewy, meaty texture and were delicious with the rich, creamy, cheesy purée they were served with. The calamari were also crispy with a rich flavour, lovely creamy sauce and delicious fresh salad bits that contrasted really well.
For our mains we went for the Shiitake Genovese and lion’s mane.
The lion’s mane was absolutely delicious with a lovely crisp smoky flavour that contrasted well with the delicious asparagus and sauce. The pasta was good although in my opinion wasn't up to the flavour of the other dishes. That said, it was one of my wife's favourite dishes so maybe just my personal taste on that one!
For dessert we got the Baklava Cheesecake. This was another excellent dish - super creamy with a delicious flavour!
It's quite expensive (we paid €92 for our meal - although that did include a glass of wine and two bottles of mineral water on top of the food) but I think it's worth it as it was truly delicious!

Vegan gastronomic restaurant - Edit
The first restaurant I tried in Athens after arriving.
Read moreI got to try one of the few fine-dining restaurants in the city, and I wasn’t disappointed by the quality or the service.
After a homemade lemonade, I moved on to meatballs with torokafteri—a real treat.
I even asked for some good bread to mop up the sauce.
For the main course, an Avit breakfast with brioche, tomato sauce, mushrooms, avocado, and cherry tomatoes!
For dessert, the baklava cheesecake—it melts in your mouth.
Very warm welcome and tasteful decor.

Central restaurant, gourmet unique food - Edit
Visited for dinner. Very tasty food, pricey as in 'elegant gourmet restaurant' prices. However the portions on were adequate and quite large so i would not say it's overpriced. Had a colorful salad and a massive plate of seitan burger with mushrooms. Probably the most memorable seitan texture I ever had, highly recommend!
Read moreThe personnel was helpful, too formal for my taste but as expected in a gourmet restaurant. The space has lovely decor and it's clean. The bathroom is spacey and clean as well, unfortunately accessible only by stairs. The restaurant is located in the city center and it's easy to find.
(Beware of the city pavement: during the time I was sitting for dinner I must have witnessed over 15 people tripping over the pedestrian stones on the road which are badly maintained by the municipality of Athens.)
Pros: Unique food, Casual gourmet experience, Central location
Cons: Toilets accessible only by stairs, Pricey (but not overpriced)

Modern and elegant - Edit
We went here for a quiet celebratory dinner. The vibe is quiet and thoughtful. The decor is modern and elegant. The menu is small, but everything we ordered was tasty. One of the starters stood out: the fried-mushroom "calamari" served on a bed of mango salad. My main was superb: a Lion’s Mane mushroom steak with black rice, grilled asparagus, and sweet corn and lime espuma. My friends liked the garlic linguine and the burger sliders, too. My one caveat is that many of the dishes don't seem to have much protein.

Good - Edit
Very nice staff and atmosphere. Side dish with tomato tartar was good. The shiitake and lemon/garlic main pasta dishes were both a bit bland. We were informed of three dishes out of a small menu card not being available to order.

Really excellent 100% plant-based food in the heart of Athens - Edit
A wide menu choice of delicious fully vegan food, a great atmosphere, warm and friendly staff, and (when we were there at least) a great 80s music mix playing. Not the cheapest of places, but thoroughly justifying the cost.

Extremely tasty food, good service - Edit
We had a bit of a long wait for our lunchtime vegan burritos as I think they had to go out for pitta (😂)but that gave us more time to enjoy a good Greek red wine and a home made ginger lemonade (very tasty). Plus, the staff were very communicative and spoke excellent English.
Read moreWhen the burritos arrived they were extremely tasty, possibly the best food we had in Athens. It was quite a light lunch, but filling enough to keep us going until dinner. We would definitely go again to try some other dishes.
