The menu is comprised mainly of "sharing platters" ranging from 7-17 euro’s per plate. A small terrace is perfect in the warm summer evenings while in the inside area diners can feast their eyes on the beautiful wine wall and the minimalist rustic decoration.
A small bar inside also serves wine to the wine aficionados who are there just to enjoy the wine list or are looking for an alternative to the hundreds of typical bars around the kolonaki area.

At Mariano, “tsipouro time” is taken very seriously and veterans will deeply appreciate the 12 fine-tasting spirits that perfectly accompany the wide range of mezedes. Mezedes from the land and sea, handmade and hand-picked, as well as juicy burgers with sautéed vegetables or seasonal vegetables, boneless pork chops and excellent sausage plus 2 fresh salads.
And great prices - less than € 20 per person. Apart from the wide selection of tsipouro and similar tastes, the 20 wine labels and ‘homemade’ Moschofilero and Aghiorghitiko from Corinth offered in a glass make those who love experimenting, as well as the Greek meze culture, feel at home.

During the summer GiGi offers its lovely outdoor patio for a daytime coffee, lunch or an unforgettable evening under the star-filled sky, while in the winter the welcoming indoor space is ideal for after dinner drinks and socializing with friends.
Even though GiGi Meat Lab started out as a neighborhood hang-out, its great food and friendly atmosphere made it a favorite spot among Athenians from all around the city.
Gigi Meat Lab is one of the most versatile eateries in Athens, it is an excellent choice for the younger crowds and couples as well as for families with young kids. In fact, it is popular among families, for Sunday lunches because of its child-friendly atmosphere, great location, and great food.
Some of our favorite dishes are the mama style fried meatballs with spearmint, the alternative beef carpaccio with gorgonzola, harissa, and almonds, and the decadent gigiplex– a signature dish with fresh cut french fries, ground beef, cheese, and egg.
Obviously, you shouldn't leave without tasting one of Gigi's succulent burgers; there are a few options to choose from, and they all taste delicious. Our personal favorites are the bacon mushroom melt and the classic hamburger with its juicy patty, crunchy pickles, and yummy mayonnaise dressing.
Gigi Meat Lab tends to get very busy during the weekends, so we strongly suggest you make a reservation beforehand!

The kitchen is dominated by seafood tastes and is basically Greek, having a somewhat varied character, however, as we are going to see.
There are four appetizer proposals, and a wine selection of 30 excellent Greek choices including mainly white wines, which fit in the character of the kitchen, a good variety of beers and, of course, ouzo, which cannot be missing from a place like that.
The unbottled wine we serve (Muscat from Limnos and Agiorgitiko) is carefully chosen, and there is also unbottled tsipouro.

Kozi was born and raised in the beautiful country of South Africa. When his parents, who are from the island of Imvros, decided to return to Greece, Kozi made a promise that he would never forget the delicious braai's that he so often enjoyed in South Africa. He decided to continue this tradition and share it with all his family & friends in Athens.
Today Kozi invites everyone interested in eating good, clean & fresh meat to his still small but comfy space in Melissia.
Having recently been there ourselves, we definitely recommend the burger and the rib-eye. Beware - this restaurant doesn't take reservations - you must get there early!
