Lsandsia

Lsandsia is one of those new Athens addresses that immediately make it clear where the journey is headed. Modern cuisine, urban space, precise focus. No big conceptual talk, just a small, concentrated menu that revolves around two poles: oysters and pasta. Both taken seriously, both executed cleanly. The oysters come plain or with very subtle accompaniments, freshly opened, served cool, intended as a starter and perfect for that purpose. Then comes the pasta, crafted with precision, with depth but not overloaded. The pasta with seafood is particularly strong, cooked to perfection, with good texture and clear flavors. You can tell that the chef here has mastered his craft and consciously limits himself. The space is modern, minimalist, pleasantly noisy without being hectic. Concrete, wood, an open view into the kitchen, a crowd that knows what it wants. The service is attentive, direct, without unnecessary small talk. Lsandsia works as an evening destination, but also for a late lunch or a quick glass of wine with oysters. The restaurant is aimed at guests who want to experience Athens through contemporary cuisine. It’s not a traditional restaurant or a trendy hotspot, but rather a clear, urban cuisine with attitude. If you love modern lime pasta and appreciate oysters, this is the place for you.
