Arguably the neighbourhood’s bedrock, it is an institution which has been going strong for almost a century. Although the eponymous Mr. Oikonomou still lives above the restaurant, business has been in the hands of the colourful Mr. Kostas Diamandis for two decades—a "they don’t make ‘em like they used to” Greek, with a dry sense of humour and a big, kind heart. In the open kitchen, the female cook, Garyfallia, dishes out no-nonsense family fare such as roast baby lamb with waxy-lemony potatoes, rabbit casserole, or stuffed cabbage leaves (beef and rice) in a silky egg and lemon (avgolemono) sauce. Don’t be shy to ask for wine from the “reserve” barrel in the basement, and make sure you try some of the amber-red quince preserve Kostas makes himself, for dessert.

This is a traditional Greek food place that has never disappointed me. They serve some classic vegetarian and meat dishes and cheese at very reasonable prices. The surroundingarea of Petralona is worth walking around too.

Oikonomou, a traditional taverna in the quiet neighbourhood of Petralona. Try the kokkinisto (cinnamon and tomato stewed beef) and laxanodolmades (wild green parcels) in a village atmosphere. Mains from €7.
