Ama Laxei is a taverna – restaurant located on Kallidromiou Street, in Exarcheia. It has an adorable yard and some interesting dishes, including grilled meat.
Reason to go
The yard is very pretty, making the atmosphere cozy and charming. The place used to be a primary school, so the yard, which today is full of tables, used to be a school yard! Ama Laxei is also located next to many interesting places in Exarcheia, so you can combine it with a nice walk or a couple of drinks at a bar close by!
Highs & Lows
Nice atmosphere and environment - beautiful yard (when the weather is nice).
Tasty food, quality house wine and very good service.
Young and interesting crowds.
Tip
I like the wild mushroom couscous (containing chicken and smoked pork) and the grilled meat. You should give these dishes a try!

Crowd and Style
Mostly young crowds; intellectuals, artists, crowds discussing/interested in politics. Lately, the place is also popular amongst tourists. The Exarcheia neighborhood has a long tradition of people who are strongly involved in politics and public dialogue.

My name is Lina, I love travelling and when I visit a new place I want to experience it as a local would. I live in Athens but I’m originally from Chania, Crete which I visit throughout the year.
