The quirky Tazza All-Day Bistro and Wine Bar in Monastiraki fuses vintage French furnishings with Greek and Mediterranean food.
Tazza All-Day Bistro & Wine Bar is a gorgeous and modern café with vintage flair in busy Monastiraki. Lila, the owner, and Sophia, the manager, have carefully selected all the items displayed in the colorful restaurant, so much so that it feels like a fascinating art gallery. That bathroom is a must-see. The moderately-priced Mediterranean menu with Greek inspirations includes meat, pizza, pasta, risotto, and vegetarian options. This family-friendly spot is great for breakfast (served till 12:30 pm daily), sandwiches, drinks, and full meals, and the staff is extremely hospitable.
