Karamanlidika tou Fani
Athens, Greece
The read// why locals go
Part delicatessen, part meze restaurant, Karamanlidika tou Fani keeps alive the food of the Karamanlides, the Anatolian Greeks of Athens. They resettled here after 1922 and brought their cured meats and cheeses with them. You eat at tables surrounded by the counter's stock: pastourma, soutzouki, smoked and salted things, cheeses that never appear on a standard taverna menu. Around €22 a head, on Sokratous near the central market. Staff will explain everything and cut you samples before you commit. One of the few restaurants in Athens where the point is a specific history rather than a general idea of Greek food.
