taverna
Athens dining spot
A taverna is a small Greek restaurant or café, typically informal and family-run, serving traditional food and wine.
The term evokes outdoor seating, simple decor, and local atmosphere: We found a little taverna by the harbor.
Outside Greece, taverna often signals a Greek-style establishment.
