The Greekia Fountain: Greece at your fingertips
A little further on, the scent of oregano and golden pita beckons irresistibly. Greekia is Greece at its best, with a refreshingly modern twist. Order a gyros generously topped with marinated lamb , homemade tzatziki and crunchy vegetables. For vegetarians , the falafel wrap is a real treat.
Budget: Between €7 and €10

Amore Mio: Italy in a few mouthfuls
In this urban trattoria-style setting, Italy is told through slices of pizza al taglio. At Amore Mio, the ingredients come straight from the land of Dante : melting prosciutto, mozzarella di bufala, San Marzano tomatoes bursting with flavour. The pastry, made with love, is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Budget: Between €5 and €8.
