Koita

Microbakery by day, dining bar by night · Laodikis 38, Glyfada

One room around a central bar: trays of dough moving at the back in the morning, a kitchen and a zero-waste cocktail list by night. Open nine until midnight.

A long curved bar counter in a dark room, espresso machines and a pressed-metal ceiling.

Commercial relationship

None. LivingTheta has no commercial relationship with Koita, receives nothing from it, and pays for what it orders.

Zero-waste cocktail programme Built on offcuts from the kitchen rather than bought-in cordials.

Koita is a single large room on Laodikis built around a central rectangular bar. In the morning it is a microbakery and coffee counter with the dough visible at the back; by evening the same room is a dining bar with a kitchen by Pavlos Kyriakis and a cocktail list made from what the kitchen would otherwise throw away.

The gap it fills

Evening. Sofi’s shuts at half past seven and most of the specialty rooms in Glyfada close around eight. A household that wants somewhere between a café and a restaurant at nine at night has had almost nothing on this coast, and this is the clearest attempt at it.

That puts it in a different bracket from the dining rooms further along the coast — cheaper, later, and not a booking you make a week out.

A table, and the right one

We do not run a booking service. We do know which rooms are worth a Tuesday, who is cooking rather than plating, and which kitchens will send someone to your house. Ask and we will tell you what we would do.

  • 01 A human reads it. Always.
  • 02 We name names, and we say why.
  • 03 Any commercial relationship is disclosed up front.
  • 04 Nothing you send us is sold to anyone.

Where we earn a referral fee we say so on the page it appears. Nothing in the editorial rankings is for sale. Read the charter.

What is this about?

We reply within one working day. Your details are never sold or passed on without your say-so.
