The story
Garum Athens brings Greek ingredients and Asian technique together through a menu built around fermentation, with dishes moving from gyozas and mushroom dim sum to alkaline noodles, bao, pad Thai, and ryzogalo. The restaurant occupies a converted house in Mets, with a small courtyard on a quiet street, handmade ceramics, and interiors shaped by exposed stone, wood, and restrained Japanese references. Inside, the room stays calm and polished, with two distinct spaces and a chef’s table noted by diners. The kitchen’s pacing leans toward shared plates rather than large mains, and several regular picks surface repeatedly: mushroom dim sum, bao, alkaline noodles, shrimp gyoza, and the rice pudding-style dessert.
