A familiar concept since its it was first introduced to us as a modern deli-restaurant . After all , Ergon ’ s objective is to present the local gastronomy in Greece and abroad through a variety of Mediterranean products which are prepared with respect to tradition . In this framework , Ergon already counts 13 such Greek deli-taverns . With this successful recipe , last June , the second store in Athens was opened ( following the one in Nea Erythraia ), a step away from Syntagma Square on Mitropoleos Str . with its entrance being on Petraki Str . walkway . The space shares the same philosophy with the other stores . Shelves which carry products of exceptional quality ( more than 600 items ) from small Greek producers , while the main refrigerator keeps a fine “ collection ” of local cheeses and sausages , fulfilling their purpose of whetting our appetite . These ingredients are used to produce some of the dishes served here , whereas those who crave something from the menu , can purchase it for takeaway . A large variety of spreads , sauces and exceptional olive oil , handmade pasta , wines and herbs are only few of the available products , while those which easily stand out are the tomato jam , the locust bean rusk , the homemade pies made according to recipes from Kozani and the tuna from Alonnisos , hard to find elsewhere ! As for its exceptional menu , it follows modern Greek paths . First place amongst the best sellers are either the graviera cheese with paprika from Naxos , the fried zucchini balls and the fava from Santorini , whilst especially adored are the Thessaloniki meatballs , the handmade gyros and the orzo with seafood . Fast selling are also the delicious platters and the spreads ( fish roe salad , eggplant salad etc .) which perfectly accompany ouzo , tsipouro or wine from selected Greek vineyard . It also serves brunch with products from small producers from all over Greece . From € 18 . Daily 10:00-01:00 the deli ( the kitchen 12:00-01:00 ).
