Ditto this... had to eat here for a few meals after going broke at 1800.

Tzitzikas kai Mermingas, just off Athens' main Syntagma Square, was our favorite meal in Athens. I initially found out about it, scouring the boards on Chowhound before my trip last month. Did NOT disappoint. Had a salad, along with grilled octopus and entree was the Chicken Moussaka. LOVED IT...

Just returned from Santorini last week. My wife and I dined at 1800 and I gotta say, while the service was great in comparison to most restaurants in Greece, the food didn't live up to the hype. In response to your question, we paid 130 (60 + 70) euros for two chef chosen meals and while the portions barely qualified as adequate, the flavors just weren't distinctly mediterranean and a bit on the bland side.

As for ginafly's rec of Ginger, I can't endorse or condemn that choice, but coming from the SF Bay Area, I'm never far from really good sushi, so I opted for Vanilia instead which is directly across the way from Ginger. Vanilia had to have been the best meal we had in my 2.5 weeks in Europe (also visited Spain and London). Started out w/ mussels, shared grilled tuna steak and a FANTASTIC plate of seafood pasta. Only meh moment of the meal was dessert, but only because our expectations were blown through the roof from the starter and entrees!

Have fun; would LOVE to go back soon...

Heading to Seville, Madrid, & Barcelona in mid-May... Is there an up-and-coming El Bulli substitute? I want to try some inventive cuisine while i'm out there!

Four outta five on that list are in the San Sebastian area, so it's a bit out of the ways.

Ditto ccbweb... I know the topic is burritos, but La Corneta's got a killer carne asade and prawn (HUGE prawns, btw... way larger than El Farolito, another fav) quesadilla... It definitely warrants a 15 minute BART ride during my lunch breaks
