Hrisanthos tavern
About This Spot
Stepping into Hrisanthos Tavern feels like slipping into a well-loved chapter of local history, nestled quietly on a corner of Vrilissia. This is a place where time slows just enough to savor the simplicity of a neighborhood gathering spot — familiar, unpretentious, and filled with the gentle hum of steady, contented conversation. The rhythm here is easy and welcoming, inviting both long-time regulars and newcomers to settle in without rush.
The tavern’s atmosphere carries a tangible warmth, shaped by decades of shared meals and stories. It’s the sort of place where the air is fragrant with the scent of grilling, a hint of wood smoke, and the comforting presence of home-cooked flavors. The pace encourages you to linger, to appreciate the balance between tradition and the everyday joy of good company.
Here, the kitchen’s focus feels rooted in respect for honest ingredients and straightforward preparations that awaken a deep, satisfying savor. The steaks—a local specialty carefully tended over many years—are a quiet star of the experience. Paired with rustic sides that reflect the neighborhood’s casual heart, each bite feels like a connection to both place and time. It’s an experience best enjoyed with the simple pleasure of close conversation, where the food’s intention is not only to satisfy hunger but also to anchor moments of genuine togetherness.
Visitors to Hrisanthos often return to this calming embrace of tradition, drawn back by the tavern’s steadfast character and the ease it offers to slip away from the bustle of everyday life. It is less about flashy trends and more about the reassuring constancy of well-cared-for flavors and a space that feels like an old friend.

An old classic. Been going there for the past 40 years, before the era of delicatessen meat. Still one of the best traditional steak houses in the wider Athens area.

Very very very tasty steak and french fries. I haven't eaten there for years, but I recently tasted their steak (takeout) and it was really good. For the whole experience however I will have a more wholesome opinion when I revisit.

One of the oldest (used to be in another location) steak houses - simple stuff and excellent steaks! If you want simple Greek food with a focus on steaks, this is your place!!! The steaks are grilled to perfection - starters include all usual Greek starters. Worth visiting!

Good is between 4-5, not in matter of quality, but fillets are expected to ask how to cook, medium is not always the desired. But quality, kitchen, service and environment are all great. 5 stars for vfm

Love this place, we comes here a lot. Steak is always great, portions are very good and staff are super friendly. Highly recommend! Try some spicy cheese and grilled sausage

Great steak tavern in vrilissia area, with big space and garden. Fast service and always a pleasure to visit. On Saturday and especially Sunday you have to book a table
