Kollias

It isn't easy to find this legendary fish taverna, but the search is worth it. Located in Piraeus on the outskirts of Athens, the restaurant serves extremely fresh, innovative seafood dishes at affordable prices. Reliable dinners include grilled sea bass or shrimp in tomato and pepper sauce. Adventurous diners should try mussels stuffed with rice, grapes, and pine nuts; cuttlefish stew with broccoli and cream; or lobster with lemon, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Fresh salads and vegetable fritters accompany meals, and a simple but excellent wine list promises terrific vintages. Smart-casual to dressy attire. Reservations necessary.
