Pame Tsipouro Pame Kafeneio restaurant in Athens, Greece

Pame Tsipouro Pame Kafeneio is a lively and traditional restaurant located near Agias Irinis Square in Monastiraki.

Lively and family-friendly Pame Tsipouro Pame Kafeneio is located in bustling Monastiraki opposite the Church of Saint Irene in a pedestrian-only street. The idea behind the restaurant is to create a friendly space where friends can meet and laugh over tsipouro (Greek spirit) and mezes (small bites). The owner, Antonis, has designed the restaurant to look like an erstwhile village kafeneio: a coffee shop that also served as a post office, tsipouradiko (place to drink tsipouro), and mini-mart. The affordable menu features traditional Greek dishes, including meat, seafood, homemade pasta, and vegetarian options. Open late, with very hospitable service. Pame Tsipouro Pame Kafeneio’s original branch is located in Fokionos in central Athens.
