In terms of location – on the pine-covered private peninsula of the Astir Palace resort, with unobstructed sea views – this Athenian member of the Nobuyuki Matsuhisa family is perhaps the most beautiful. Omakase and à la carte menus, with all the signature dishes, including black cod and octopus with mushrooms. Get there early in the evening and enjoy the fabulous sunset, as you sip cool sake. [40 Apollonos, Vouliagmeni • Tel.: (+30) 210.890.2000]
Spacious courtyard, contemporary Japanese and fusion cuisine from three talented chefs, one of whom is Japanese.

A new generation fish taverna, with fresh seafood at prices that won’t empty your bank account. They don’t accept reservations, so it may be a good idea to get there early for dinner, around 8 p.m., and preferably not on Saturday. We recommend the delicately fried small fish, the smoked eggplant salad and the grilled sardines. [15 Foivis, Glyfada • Tel.: (+30) 211.402.1195]
