Residential east — Spondi (2 Michelin), Mavro Provato, the creative-class quarter
Pangrati is the residential hood east of the Kallimarmaro stadium — quieter than Kolonaki, denser than Mets, the kind of neighborhood where the bakery knows the dog by name. The Athenian creative class has been moving here for ten years and the restaurant scene reflects it: Spondi (the city's only canonical two-Michelin-star room) hides on a side street, Mavro Provato runs the city's most-booked mezedopoleio, and Cookoovaya's spillover sister project Bouilla holds the contemporary-Greek register. The gezgin uses Pangrati for one specific reservation — Spondi for the milestone dinner — and the neighborhood walk that bookends it.
