Ta Karamanlidika tou Fani

Athens, Greece

Part deli, part restaurant, on Sokratous Street in the central market district of Athens. Fani Koutsovitis opened it in 2009 to preserve the charcuterie traditions of the Karamanlides, the Greek Orthodox communities of Anatolia expelled in the 1923 population exchange. The glass cases hold cured meats, aged cheeses, and loukaniko from small Greek producers. You can eat at the marble counter or at one of the tables in back. The loukaniko is sliced to order from whole links, served with bread and a glass of ouzo or tsipouro.
