For the last 7 years, it has been chirping (karderina is a yellowbird) in the hearts of Athenian foodies everywhere who find here not only amazing special flavours from Greek cuisine, but also warm and nice atmosphere of a shop made to offer unforgettable moments in its every moment.
Karderina has a creative point of view, easily puts a chicken ballotine, tightly stuffed with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan sauce, to keep company with a yogurt iskender or a nice Cretan Ntako. Karderina has also sociability, relaxed mood, relaxation, rhythm: here you eat for pleasure, slowly letting the baked Amorgian raki encourage communication, until you order the next dish that will call you.
The large courtyard, paved with pebbles and atmospherically lighted, opens in the summer to enjoy the Attica’s sky, in the winter it closes like a nest to embrace the patrons and fellow travellers. Colourful, open-hearted and welcoming, it has soul, it has truth, and above all it has the best and most imaginative things to satisfy your hunger.
We chose the shank with honey sauce, juicy and delicious and in a boisterous portion for 2 people; the airy tart with leek, bacon and mixed cheeses; the mushrooms in a brief passage from the pan with goat cheese and thyme; the amazing prawns with saffron and ouzo. The list continues with countless appetizers that will put you in essential dilemmas which one to choose first, with delicacies like tomato meatballs from Santorini and Skopelo’s twisted cheese pie with honey and sesame, to an unforgettable bekri meze and a nice potato salad with bacon and mayonnaise.
All the essences of the Greek meze culture, quality choices from Greek vineyard wines and several beers, as a first step for the success of your every visit to it. For the sweetest ending, save room for a sweet treat.
