Yum


Well, I feel like there are a million wonderfully unique places to eat in Athens. The problem is, sometimes it's tough to break away from going to the one's you love to try something new. I thought it'd be nice to voice our opinions about our favorite (maybe lesser known) restaurants and our favorite things to order there. Maybe this will give courage to people like me who are scared to try a new unfamiliar dish when their favorite meal is a block away.

My number one top choice is Big City Bread (393 N. Finley Street~Downtown in between Broad and Prince Ave.) and I absolutely LOVE their Croque Madame! This is a popular lunch entree found on every Parisian cafe menu. It's basically a grilled ham and gruyere cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top (if you don't like fried eggs, the Croque Monsieur is the same thing sans oeuf). Their quiche du jour and sweet pastries (Truffle stars, chocolate croissants, and fruit tarts) are also to die for, but I haven't found much I don't like there. They have a wonderful patio (with fire places in the winter) and are very dog and child friendly. They even let kids (or adults for that matter) graffiti the walls and ground with side walk chalk.

Any other good suggestions?

I love me some Big City Bread. I have yet to try one of their yummy desserts yet. Take that back. I did snag a bite of a little boys cookie once. I did know the boy in case you were wondering!
