In short
Grilled meat fast and cheap on Monastiraki Square since 1965, a minute from the metro, between sights at almost any hour. It is a budget kebab stop in the centre of Athens.
O Thanasis is a kebab and grill restaurant at Mitropoleos 69 on Monastiraki Square in central Athens, founded in 1965 by the brothers Thanasis and Xristos. It suits travellers who want a fast, cheap plate of grilled meat between sights, at almost any hour. Monastiraki metro station on lines 1 and 3 is about a minute away, the flea market lanes start next door, and the Acropolis rises behind the square.
The minced meat kebab that made it famous
The kebab that made O Thanasis famous is minced meat grilled on a skewer and served with pitta. It is the dish to order on a first visit. Gyros and pork souvlaki fill out the short grill menu, and there are a few vegetarian dishes. Plates arrive quickly and prices are low, which is why the place is packed at lunch.
Indoor floors and tables facing Monastiraki Square
Seating spreads over two floors indoors, with outdoor tables facing Monastiraki Square. The outdoor tables are the best spot for watching the crowds. Large tables suit families and groups, and staff are friendly even at peak times. A meal usually takes under an hour.
