Preserved to this day at number 6 Eratosthenous, is a living part of the city’s history, having created a community around it before it was cool that continues unabated in the “now”. When the charismatic team of It’s a Village and the recent instant hit, Steppa, took it over, they “embraced” every retro aspect, respecting the artistry on the ceiling, which was crafted by a 1950s iconographer, and polished the wonderful mosaic that continues to embrace the visitors’ steps.
What has changed since its opening in the distant 1937, are all the things that matter, and all those quality aspects one expects from a modern all-day venue, to the highest degree: irresistible specialty coffee, specially selected for Louvron with the signature of Qualita Unica, a delicious menu curated by executive chef Antonis Kleiton Malikis, balancing successfully between brunch and “tweaked” mezze — all beautifully presented with quality ingredients — plus spirits, cocktails, wines, and beer to warm your mood from early afternoon after work, to the evening going out.
Come here every morning to flavor your day with the delicious sunny-side-up eggs with beans and handmade sausage, aka the Bretannikon, or sweeten your hypoglycemic yearning with fluffy golden loukoumades with honey, walnuts, roasted almonds, and cinnamon. Stay for the light, homemade chicken kebab drizzled with an exquisite peach mayonnaise, served with peach salad and chili, for the handmade spicy cheese dip served with pita bread, or for a juicy, lemony pork tenderloin with fresh rosemary and sun-dried tomato.
The surprises don’t end here, as you can pair all the above with alternative signature cocktails like the humorously named Musee Du Louvre with mastic, gin, Chios mandarin, fresh lemon juice, and sweet grapes. After all, the street becomes more cinematic at twilight with the lights of passing cars. Take the trouble to follow its historical footsteps; you’ll get lost in Pagkrati’s most wonderful time capsule.
