Casual Dining · Modern Greek

The Rouga

One of the city's busiest tables — a lively, long-running spot in the Valaoritou nightlife quarter serving traditional Greek cooking with a light modern twist since 1999. The wide menu runs from grilled octopus, lamb and shrimp saganaki to baked classics like pastitsio, with vegan options too, and a complimentary custard pastry to finish. Quirky cosy decor, live music some nights, generous portions and fair prices; book at weekends, because the room fills fast.
