Hala says
Chef Lefteris Lazarou's seafood room on Mikrolimano harbour in Piraeus. Lazarou was the first Greek chef ever to hold a Michelin star (2002, at the original Varoulko). He held it for more than two decades, then dropped to Main Selection in the 2024 Guide. The whole catch is from that morning, and the room is glass-walled and over the water. Cab from central Athens (25 min), or pair it with the new Piraeus tram line.
Good to know
- Price — €€€€
- Order — red shrimp crudo + sea urchin pasta
