Equal parts restaurant and shrine, Melina Mercouri Café is located in central Plaka, underneath the onetime apartment of iconic actor, singer, politician, activist, and Greece’s sweetheart Melina Mercouri. The space is filled with Mercouri memorabilia, while the moderately-priced menu features excellent traditional Greek meze, meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, along with a variety of sweet and savory crepes and desserts. This family-friendly place offers indoor and outdoor seating, breakfast till late afternoon, and is great for a late-night snack. Located along a quiet street, three metro stations are within a ten-minute walk.
