Had a fantastic dining experience at Andros last night. The cocktails were so tasty (Midas touch and golden age). My boyfriend loved the beets and feta he finished the whole plate! The Avgolemono took me straight to Greece. The lamb chops and bones were a highlight for me. The sea bream was divine. The baklava froyo was one of the best desserts I’ve had in the city. WILL be returning to Andros very soon :).

Just book the reservation. There is not a single bad thing on the menu. The service is excellent. This was my 4th time at Taxim but my first after visiting Greece a few months ago. I felt like I was back in the town of Elounda in Crete. This is a truly authentic experience. Amazing evening!!
