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.

While staying in Athens you will probably go out in Kerameikos sometime. There are a lot of cool places around Elvis and the only place open late at night is this shop. It's the thing you need after drinking, and the square right outside is the ideal spot to enjoy your souvlaki.

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.

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!

The prices are really low (Dinner will cost less than 15/person). You'll get the chance to taste some of the most traditional "eastern" greek cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxing, feels like being in a greek village. If you are in a hurry, avoid it since everything is done slowly, in a holiday mood.
Best season is May-Oct, when you can sit outside.

Stani is not an ordinary place. It is one of the few dairy stores left in Athens (there used to be more than 1600 in the region), and that because people always focused on the quality rather than the quantity. Visit it for the stellar sheep yogurt that can be consumed even by lactose intolerants due to "bakili", enzymes good for your health.

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.
