One of the best meals we’ve ever had in Athens was at the Tudor Hall Restaurant, on the 7th floor of the King George Hotel on Syntagma Square and with fantastic Acropolis views. Fantastic food, too, from chef Asterios Koustoudis, who creates a menu of contemporary Greek cuisine, featuring seasonal ingredients with a modern twist.
