A Century together
1923
In the basement of a two story detached house on 19th Xenokratous street, Grandfather Kostas Filippou opened a barrel winery, where also ice and coal could be bought.
1935
It gained a Golden award for the production of barrel wine.
1936
The sale of wine began to be accompanied by delicacies – mezedakia that his wife made.
1950
Kostas Filippou son Giannis took over the restaurant.
1968
The detached two story house was replaced by the building where the restaurant still stands today on the ground floor.
1995
Third generation took over, represented by grandson Kostas and his wife Patricia.
“Filippou restaurant with an open kitchen since 1968 (pioneering for that era), symbolizes honesty and trust in what we have been creating everyday over the years. The restaurant is a timeless hangout of many famous and not, from artistic, political and business sectors, people who have left a mark in Modern Greek history.”
