Kiki de Grece

Syntagma & Plaka


Man Ray's muse, Kiki de Montparnasse, declared that in hard times, all she needed was bread, an onion and a bottle of red wine. This pedestrian-street bar also takes her as its muse, and offers plenty more than a bottle of red. There's a huge range from Greece's vintners, paired with seasonal dishes from various regions in Greece.
