Blue Fish Athens

Plaka, with its meandering alleys, blooming jacarandas and rich history, reeks of charm and character but its gastronomic offerings have remained, until recently, woefully below par – restricted to tourist traps serving lurid fuchsia tarama and tired staples. With more discerning tourists and a new postcrisis consciousness taking hold on young, creative restaurateurs, luckily, that is a thing of the past and newcomers like Blue Fish have dared to break free from the mould by introducing a fish restaurant in a saturated meat environment.
