Quick picks:
Founded in 1936 on Percy Street, the Elysée became a Greek institution in the 1960s when the Karageorgis family brought in traditional Greek live music. It is still family-run and famous for its plate smashing, with private dining rooms, a cocktail bar and a roof garden. The first choice for a birthday, a name day or any night that needs music.
Modern Greek seafood on Paddington Street. The kitchen ages its fish in-house and uses every part of it, and the wine list is built around Greek whites, especially Assyrtiko. A refined choice for a special dinner.
Kima’s neighbour serves modern Greek cooking as sharing plates, with ingredients often imported from Greece, a Greek wine list and a cocktail bar. Its lower-ground room, the Larder, can be hired for group dinners.
A Greek deli and restaurant on Store Street, a few minutes from Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road, serving rustic Greek cooking. The deli stocks more than 300 Greek products with protected designation of origin, so you can take feta, graviera and thyme honey home after dinner.
True to its name (“nostimo” means tasty), this spot in the Brunswick Centre near Russell Square serves souvlaki, gyros and Greek salads, alongside traditional dishes made with fresh ingredients. Ideal for a relaxed lunch.
Founded by Athenians to bring the city’s street food to London, Suvlaki grills its skewers over charcoal every day. The right choice for a quick Greek lunch in the West End or the City.
