Vezené sits on Vrasida beside Evangelismos, with a glass porch on the front, and cooks modern Greek regional food with fire at the centre of it: aged cuts, seafood from named producers, pasta. It opens every day from six in the evening until one in the morning.
The list it is not on
It holds no Michelin star and is not a Bib Gourmand. It is also, consistently, one of the first names an Athenian gives when asked where to eat — which is a different signal, and on this site not a lesser one.
Awards measure a kitchen against a standard. Repeat local recommendation measures it against every other option those people had on a Tuesday. We would rather have the second, and say so.
What it gives a household on the coast
Fire and meat, done seriously — the one thing the Riviera does not have. The coast’s kitchens are built around fish and a horizon; almost nothing here is built around a hearth.
It is also open on the nights nothing else is. We have not eaten here.
