OMONIA SQUARE. Ideal specializes in Greek comfort food, just like Grandma used to make. The house specialty is silky avgolemono soup; other popular dishes include stuffed peppers, leek croquettes, and lamb with spinach. For something really memorable, try Smyrnaika tsouotsoukakia, which flavors spicy meat patties with ouzo and cumin. The oldest restaurant in downtown Athens, Ideal offers hip Art Deco décor and excellent service, which keep regulars coming back. Lunch is busy and crowded with local businessmen; if you prefer relaxed dining, dinner is a better bet. Smart-casual attire. Reservations suggested.
