The best place for lunch in Monastiraki is ´Thanasis´. On the menu you found skewers of prime ground beef wrapped in grilled pita, along with grilled green peppers and salads. (Mitropoleos 69)

The restaurant offers delicious ´Feta Üsiti´, which is baked feta cheese. The one from Paradosiako´s is baked with olive oil, tomato and parsley inside a ceramic dish.
