From midday
Savoury The Diavola pinsa and a smash burger — this is not only a cake shop.

Routina is on Dousmani in Glyfada, the shop the pastry chef Dimitris Makryniotis opened with his wife. Individual French-style pastries — tarts, tiramisu, crème pâtissière with strawberries — and from the middle of the day a short savoury menu built around a pinsa and a smash burger.

Why it is on this list

Because the pastry is at a level this coast has very little of. Cova at Astir Marina is the other one, and that is a Milanese house owned by LVMH operating a seaside outpost. Routina is a chef with his name on the door.

For a household on the Riviera the practical point is that both are inside twenty minutes, and they are completely different propositions at completely different prices.

  • 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.
