Asian fusion restaurant
RawBata
Japanese and Greek cooking meet at this chef-owned restaurant in a quiet Athens neighbourhood, where a seasonal menu runs from tuna handrolls and nettle gyoza to rooster rigatoni.
The story
RawBata sits away from the city's tourist circuit, and the trip is part of its appeal. The room feels relaxed and quietly stylish, with well-chosen music kept low enough for conversation. Behind it is Chronis, a young chef-owner whose cooking pairs Greek and Asian traditions, and who often comes out to talk with diners. The seasonal menu is built on clean, fresh ingredients plated with care. Raw dishes include seabass ceviche, scallop carpaccio and tuna handrolls, alongside shrimp dumplings and nettle gyoza. Heartier plates such as yellow curry monkfish and rooster rigatoni show the Greek side of the fusion, and a baked apple dessert closes the meal. Service is friendly and personable throughout.
