About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Since the 1960`s, the Triantafillopoulos family, at its restaurants in Athena, Greece and Jacksonville, Florida have worked with top quality materials showing respect for the food itself and the customer.

As of December 2017, their son Yiorgos and his wife Marilena would like to welcome you to a brand new restaurant in the heart of the city, The Athenian Owl.

Reflecting the heritage and the authenticity of Yia-Yia`s (our mother and originator of the first two restaurants) recipes, we add to her wonderful food our passion of representing Greek healthy cuisine at its best.

    Athenian Owl is consistently one of the best meals in town. The food, staff and atmosphere make for a fun evening, it feels like family dinner. They don’t have customers, they have friends.

    The Owl is one of our favorites! It's as close to dining in Athens as you can get in Jacksonville. The service is always very friendly and engaging, and they make you feel like family. The Greeks have a word for this, philoxenia, which is more than just hospitality but more like turning strangers into friends. We've tried quite a few items from the menu and all have been excellent. Highly recommended!

    The food here is always excellent. It is prepared by those who know how good Greek food should taste. This is a family affair by a family who loves people and preparing food for family. You are always welcomed as family.

    They did a great job decorating the restaurant for Valentine’s Day. Each table had a small box of complimentary chocolates. They took care of the small details that make a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner. One of the reasons we picked this place is because it’s a family restaurant. We had our 2 year old son and the staff made him feel welcome. Thank you for providing the Spider Man coloring pages. He loved it. Food is great as always. Thank you for giving us a great experience.
