FOINIKES Hidden for 17 years in a quiet neighborhood in Aghi-
as Varvaras Street, the family tavern Foinikes is not among the
top secrets of the culinary scene of the city for nothing! Why?
Because, the experienced in the food industry, Kostas Sariano-
glou, managed to attract to the western suburbs citizens of var-
ious districts of Athens not only due to the high quality offered
but also due to its eccentric menu. Next to a great space, which
makes us feel as part of a big group of friends, it is also known
for its traditional delicacies on the skew, with first and best the
Ionian frigadeli (lamb liver wrapped in caul fat), kontosouvli,
kokoretsi, fried pork, bekri meze with fresh fried potatoes and
fresh salads. What makes it stand out, however, is the large va-
riety of hunt. Along with quails and partridges, you will also find
bison, ostrich, crocodile, kangaroo, zebra! As weird as it may
sound, these exotic dishes, besides being a source of vitamins
and nutrients of high nutritional value, are also extremely deli-
cious. Even if you are reluctant at first, a delicious meze is worth
ordering for everyone to taste. After all, the bison meat is sim-
ilar to liver, the crocodile meat tastes like chicken or fish, while
the zebra fillet resembles to tenderloin meat. As for the ostrich,
one of the most normal and healthy meat, we assure you it
easily competes in flavor with calf meat. All arrive at your table
in fillets (from high quality farms) and masterfully prepared on
grill. A culinary experience you must definitely have! Tue.-Sun.
