We have eaten in this fine restaurant three times in four years, and we believe it to be quite good. The seafood keeps us coming back. Seating is available indoor and outdoor, and we ate most recently outdoor. The tent walls and heaters are certainly sufficient. We had one salmon dinner and one sea bass (sold under the local name). Both were excellent, but the sea bass is served as a whole fish so be prepared to bone it yourself. The olive and the feta cheese appetizers were excellent. The house white wine was 3 euros, and was a good wine. Don’t order red wine in Athens!

Be prepared for many feral cats roaming the dining area. They were quite passive. The waiters were on the spot. A look around other restaurants showed Ydria was doing the most business.

We like it. We will go back.

The sign outside mentioned that Ydria offered various vegetarian dishes, that caught my eye immediately.

We were only in Athens for a few days, so I wasn’t able to taste all the typical Greek dishes. At least, that is what I thought. Ydria has a ‘Greek cuisine vegetarian variety’ dish which contained a delicious vegetarian moussaka, gemista, a fried zucchini ball and spanakopita. Absolutely loved it!

My boyfriend, who is a real meateater, enjoyed the ‘BBQ’ mix.

The staff was friendly.

We both had a wonderful dinner here for a good price. We recommend this place!

Red wine is very tasty, they have the Alpha beer which is a nice lager, polite staff. The place is in a very good location

Excellent food and atmosphere with no hard sell. Most restaurants in the area have a menu outside for your perusal. However, they do not seem able let you read through it but want to read it to you. Ydria was different. While the manager did come and speak to us there was no hard sell - she was just chatty, which made a very pleasant change.

The food was good. Excellent portions and great value with friendly service. This was the only place we went to a second time in our week in Athens. Highly recommended.

An explosion of flavours was provided at the first bite. I was overwhelmed by the special flavours of all ingredient used in this moussaka to spoil me for the time being.
