Zuzuto Ramen Athens

Combination of comfort and taste

"In addition to ramen (my favourite is the Classic Shoyu), you can taste excellent sushi and try several other traditional dishes."

Zuzuto Ramen is, without a doubt, one of the best places in Athens to try ramen.

However, what exactly is ramen? Is it just a soup with noodles? Despite having originated in Japan at the start of the 20th century, ramen swiftly rose to prominence as a national delicacy. From its humble beginnings as a street snack, it has evolved into a global gourmet sensation and perhaps the most famous comfort meal in Japan. There is no need to analyse the various local recipes and variations of ramen, because at Zuzuto Ramen, you can taste many of them perfectly cooked.

The owners and workers of this restaurant are a group of people from different Asian countries. They have created a special Japanese restaurant with excellent food that, although it serves the cuisine of another country, creates a sense of familiarity and warmth. In addition to ramen (my favourite is the Classic Shoyu), you can taste excellent sushi and try several other traditional dishes. The overall impression is completed by the immaculate service and the neat area with the open kitchen and big windows facing the street. 

Zuzuto Ramen's cosy ambiance and comforting cuisine transform the restaurant into a welcoming home dining room, erasing boundaries and fostering a memorable dining experience.

Santaroza

Asian film noir

Its trademark is the long, wooden bar that, with a length of 14 meters is perhaps the longest bar in Athens. It's the best place for negronis and whiskeys.

Matchpoint bar

Calm, cool and collected

Matchpoint's interior is tastefully decorated, and the music is lovely but my favorite is sitting outside enjoying my drink and watching the world go by.

Ode to socks

Greek culture encapsulated

Ode to socks has made good use of the local greek heroes such as the priest (pappa), the priest's wife, the sailor, and the fisherman, who are characteristic figures in every Greek's childhood.

Every time is like the first time

There are always dishes of the day in addition to the set menu, so no two visits to Mandragoras are ever the same. And kontosouvli is always available.

It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

To Laini

Where the Cretan heart beats

My two favorites are Sfakianopita with honey and the famous Dakos. Every plate is cooked in olive oil with lots of rosemary.
