Best places for cheap food are Exarhia and Kerameikos-Metaxourgio. If you are looking for something more elegant and professional, then Kolonaki has many restaurants that will fulfill your expectations.
In general, eating in Athenian restaurants can be expensive. Most of the times it is! Buying from a super market and cooking at home is a lot cheaper. In most of the super markets you can find fresh vegetables and fruits which are way cheaper than in most places in Europe, and that is because they grow in Greece.

You should order something to eat. The idea is small portions, rich flavour and decent prices. The scenery is beautiful, since the square is surrounded by trees. Amongst the buildings Dexameni is a nice suprise!

It could be hard to find a free seat during days of good weather; and that could be nearly every day in Athens! It often hosts jazz bands on Thursdays, so you might wanna check this out, especially if you're a couple. Don't miss the chance to visit the Numismatic Museum exhibitions, as the building itself.

Even though the food is a bit expensive (around 20-25/person) and not that remarkable, you should visit the place at least for a coffee or wine because the atrium is definitely worth it. It is also the perfect set for a romantic date. Just keep in mind it is closed in August!

It is the perfect alternative to cheap fastfood for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Delicious, fresh, homemade style pies with good ingredients and that un-pretentious quality of a place that is only occupied with what it makes and not with its image.
