The 15 best hangouts in Argyroupoli to eat, drinks & coffee
For over 30 years Argyroupoli has established itself as one of the biggest hangouts in the southern suburbs. Back then there were only cafes around Agia Triada square and they were of course much more peaceful. Since then the shops have grown to dozens in number and have expanded to Marinou Geroulanou street and the adjacent streets.
To eat
Souxou Mouxou
A mezedopoleio with traditional small dishes but with a modern twist they have rightfully earned a place as one of the top restaurants in Argyroupoli. The Souxou Mouxou salad is a must, a refreshing salad with orange, grilled manouri, nuts, dried figs and raisins, as well as the greek carbonara, the variety of meats and the tomahawk steaks. My company first drank raki, then white wine and finally rakomelo. Bonus and the dessert they treated us to.
Mani Mani
A place like a village that with its courtyard takes you to the greek countryside and one of the few places in Athens and the southern suburbs where you can eat well-cooked the traditional pork gournopoula as it should be, and for those who know, soft with crispy skin. It is also offered in a pita roll. And with very tasty meat dishes that are worth trying.
Alargino Rakadiko
Here you will eat seafood accompanied by tsipouro or ouzo from owners who pay attention to quality and detail and have a deep knowledge of the island's cuisine. The dishes I recommend are eggplant with Tinos gruyere, monkfish in parchment paper, fresh grilled cod, crab salad and rocket salad. There are many more delicious dishes, I singled out the pappardelle with shrimp, zucchini and Kozani saffron and the snails burbouristos.
Mastello
You certainly don't expect to find a fish tavern in Argyroupoli, but here it is, it arrived from Andros island and landed here. A place that reminds you of an island, quite a different shop compared to the rest in Argyroupoli. The dishes that stand out are the krill crayfish, the Andros volaki, the cod bites, the shrimp gnocchi and these accompanied by Andros tsipouro. In a word everything is impeccable.
Ta Trapezakia
A tsipouradiko - mezedopoleio shop for delicious and fresh fish and appetizers. The meatballs are amazing, the appetizers are delicious, the tyrokaufteri and skordalia are handmade. No luxuries or gourmet treats, just hearty portions. Friendly service and affordable prices make it an ideal destination for a night out with friends.
For drinks - beer
Marantona
A bar for all hours of the day. From coffee to snacks and drinks and music for ages 40+ as well as new tracks. The decoration, the music and everything you eat and drink are characteristics of a quality shop. The aesthetics of the space also create the perfect mood. Choose it for pizza, cocktails, burgers and brunch.
Schedia
A timeless value in Argyroupoli. A space with wood that reminds of a raft or wooden ship from another era and on the ceiling a Renaissance map of the world gives the shop its identity. With a wide variety of beers and strong points the variety, the burgers and the drinks. One of the oldest shops in Argyroupoli, we the elder ones used to hang out there in the late 90s and spent endless hours there.
Life by Astarti
A welcoming atmosphere that exudes warmth and an interior design that combines vintage aesthetics with modern touches creating a charming and elegant space. It offers a wide variety of drinks that satisfy all tastes and preferences. Craft beer lovers will find themselves in heaven with an impressive variety of greek and international beers to choose from. The cocktail menu is equally impressive with well-crafted compositions. When it comes to food, this beer hall raises the bar. Each dish is a work of culinary art prepared with the best ingredients and full of flavors that will impress you. From delicious appetizers to hearty main courses and delicious desserts, the menu offers a wide variety of options to satisfy every craving.
For international cuisine

Try gyoza, shrimp tempura, various rolls, sea bass ceviche, bao buns, crab salad, glass noodles, pork teriyaki and mochi all freshly cooked and very tasty. It also has buffet hours every Friday and Saturday 20:00 - 23:00 and Sunday 13:30 - 17:30 with 17 € for adults and 10 € for children where you eat until you burst.
Momo asian bar
An Asian restaurant - a surprise with freshly cooked food full of flavor. The sushi is made on the spot, delicious and beautifully presented. Every bite is a delight from the melt-in-your-mouth salmon nigiri to the perfectly crispy tempura rolls. The menu is impressive with its choices and it's so nice to have such variety and creativity on the menu. And with several vegan options.
Abrazo Mexican Restaurant
Here the food stands out for its balance of flavours and the quality of the ingredients, from the al pastor tacos and burritos to the handmade salsas and guacamole. The cocktails, especially the margaritas, are an integral part of the experience. The tacos and burritos are delicious, the margaritas are perfect and the atmosphere is very warm and attentive. The margarita is very nice in regular and frozen form. I highly recommend Abrazo to anyone who loves quality Mexican cuisine.
For fast food
Overload Burger
For burgers, sandwiches and crepes. The burger is incredibly juicy and homemade, with fresh buns, properly cooked burgers and a taste that reminds of something made with love and not mass production. The fries are also freshly fried and delicious. Overall a shop worth visiting — simple, quality, value for money and with food that makes you to return. The food is really tasty and with fresh ingredients. The Pac-Man decoration gives a retro, playful feel.
Mango Pizza & Pasta
A warm place with relaxed music and nice lighting that creates a nice atmosphere. The dishes are delicious, the pizzas are very good in taste and quality of ingredients, baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, delicious and crispy. It is also worth trying the chicken pasta. The Italian menu is rich and worth exploring!
For dessert - ice cream
Lukumaki by Mixalis
For delicious doughnuts, fresh and high-quality without the smell of oil. You order them as you like, with honey, praline, ice cream and much more. The ice cream is also perfect as are the desserts. It has now established itself in the southern suburbs as one of the best choices.
Iter del gusto gelato
Here you will eat the best pistachio and lotus profiteroles ice cream you have ever eaten. The specialty of the shop, however, is the gelato pralinato which includes crushed cookies, praline of choice, ice cream of choice and whipped cream. These are the three very good reasons why you should visit it!
