Athens - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
Yes, there are endless options (fewer delivery options in the suburbs), everything is priced well and felt cheaper than ordering out in the US. There isn't much variety for food from different international regions and Greek food at all price points will be the most common to order on the apps. - Oct 2023
Wolt and Efood for food delivery and takeout are exceptional. Really since COVID pretty much every place has this option or you can just call them directly (most places speak some English). - Jan 2023
You can find all you need, the only thing missing is real Korean food. I'm sure it's somewhere. - Mar 2022
Typical restaurant is Greek, but there are a few varieties. Thai, South African, sushi, Chinese, etc. food delivery was abundant - you can have a cup of coffee delivered to your house. Easy to use apps. - Jan 2020
Food delivery is super easy through an app called CLICK. Easy pizza, sushi, and of course souvlaki. Food is cheaper than in US. - Mar 2018

Food deliveries are excellent and affordable. - Oct 2017
There are several great restaurants here, some downtown and some in outlying suburbs. For delivery, there is an online service called ClickDelivery--you can see menus, order, and in some cases pay by PayPal. - Jan 2017
Athens is an international city so there are a number of ethnic restaurants available, although they are more expensive than Greek restaurants. Athens has Thai, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, German, Middle Eastern restaurants, etc. just to name a few. The dining scene is great! Food delivery services are good, and for take out there is no delivery minimum so you can even have a burger and fries delivered if you so choose. Main food delivery websites are https://www.clickdelivery.gr/ and https://www.e-food.gr/. The AB supermarket chain has a delivery service, although the website with the items to order is in Greek (www.ab.gr). - Dec 2016
The only drive through was McDonald's, but there are many U.S. restaurant chains and the best part is everything can be delivered. The Greek Tavernas all have similar choices and are very good, fairly reasonable as well. You can also find high-end restaurants. Mexican is available and there is one I found that was rather good, but not spicy. - Sep 2013
McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Goody's (local fast food restaurant chain), many souvlaki and gyro places. All cuisines are represented, except for good Mexican. Prices range from cheap to 5 star restaurants spread out all over the country, but mostly in the big cities and the islands. Speaking of the islands, good fish is available, even though not very cheap! - Jul 2012
McDonald's, Starbucks, Applebee's. About the same in the US. But the food in Greece is FANTASTIC. - Jun 2010
The food is fantastic. There are a few McDonald's and lots of Starbucks. Plenty of restaurants, cafes, tavernas. - Jan 2009
Plenty of cheap places specializing in gyros, etc., and more expensive restaurants that charge 20 Euros for spaghetti. Not much in between. - Dec 2008
Lots. McDonald's (that's the only drive-thru I've seen), Starbucks, KFC, Auntie Anne's, Pizza Hut, Applebees, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday. Lots and lots of inexpensive tavernas. Some nice upscale Greek and European restaurants. - Jun 2008
