Soil occupies a delightful house with a romantic patio-terrace, in the shade of leafy orange trees in the Pangrati district, a stone’s throw from the famous Panathenaic stadium – the venue for the first Olympic Games of the modern era. Here, chef Tasos Mantis (co-owner along with Alexandros Mouridis, who runs the front of house), creates contemporary seasonal cuisine featuring classic techniques, a solid basis in Greek cooking and a Nordic touch. This is showcased on a menu of well-presented small plates that reaffirm the restaurant’s “farm to table” concept, with a special focus on vegetables, herbs and edible flowers from the chef’s kitchen garden in Alepochori (cultivated by his father). At the end of the experience, guests are even given a bouquet of the herbs used in their meal.
