Just a few blocks from the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, this taverna draws theatergoers for its congenial service and dramatic roof garden views of the illuminated Acropolis. Inside the old two-story house, signed glossy photos indicate the many performers who have dined here after a show at the ancient theater. Despite the many tourists, Strofi continues to attract locals who have been coming here for decades. The tzatziki, with its ground cucumber, abundant garlic, and velvety yogurt, goes well with the perfectly fried, thinly sliced zucchini, or the village bread. Another good appetizer is fava, a purée of yellow split peas. Reliable entrées include roast lamb with homemade noodles called hilopites, rabbit stifado (stew), veal with eggplant, kid prepared with oil and oregano, and rooster stewed in red wine.
