 Featuring the Greek cry, Opah! |

This informal spot offers a friendly atmosphere that is most evident when warm ouzo is set ablaze at a table, while diners and waiters join in the cry, 'Opah!'

The Sausage Pizza and Avgolemono Soup are also customer favorites. Looking to participate in the 'Opah!' cry? Order the Hot Kasseri Cheese, drizzled with warm ouzo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional Greek cuisine |
109 West F Street San Diego, CA 92101 United States +1 619 234 1955 http://www.athensmarkettaverna... |
Fun and bright, this popular dining venue has been serving great tasting authentic Greek food for more than 20 years. Greeks frequent the restaurant to savor a little bit of home and to chat with owner Maria Pappas. Everything on the menu is recommended, but the restaurant is particularly famous for its delicious Lentil Soup. The portions are large and the atmosphere is friendly. On weekends, this place gets even more upbeat with live music and belly dancers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tiny spot near the coast |
250 North Coast Highway 101 San Diego, CA 92024 United States +1 760 944 2882 |
This small restaurant is ideal after a day at the beach. Located just a short distance from the coast, it offers a casual atmosphere and efficient service. Place your order at the counter and then relax at a wooden table. The walls are hung with various pictures and plates, while green plants sit on the windowsill. The hot sandwiches are popular, especially the delicious Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. For a larger appetite, the Chicken Kebab Plate or the Gyro Plate is highly recommended - they are accompanied by Rice Pilaf, Pita Bread, and a salad. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A slice of Santorini |
1846 Garnet Avenue San Diego, CA 92109 United States +1 858 274 1140 http://www.cafeathena.com |
Airy and bright, this strip-mall restaurant manages to exude charm and a taste of the Greek islands. The restaurant offers a rich array of traditional dishes, plus some new creations. The Seafood Bisque ranks with the best. Salmon Dolmas (grape leaves stuffed with salmon) are a delightful variation on the old rice-and-tomato theme. Greek and Californian wines are available. An artful re-creation of Cycladic architecture greets visitors. On the walls are well-rendered views of Santorini by various artists. Outside, a handful of sidewalk tables encourage people watching.

Trendy Carlsbad hot spot |
1854 Marron Road San Diego, CA 92008 United States +1 760 720 9961 |
Located one block from the beach, this restaurant is popular for evening meals. Inside, one wall is covered in an elaborate mural of an ancient Greek goddess. Yet, many diners still prefer outdoor dining complete with old-fashioned lamps and greenery. On the menu, the Shark Kabab and Kofta (ground lamb) Kabab are both popular. If you have a large appetite, order one of the combination plates. The Greek Combination Plate offers a skewer of beef or chicken, served with Gyros, yellow rice, olives, Feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. Review © 2007, Wcities |
