About
TOPA is a basque-cretan tapas bar in Kypseli, a lively and authentic area that brings together various cultures and traditions. The name TOPA means “cheers” in Basque, and that word perfectly captures our philosophy: sharing, connecting, and enjoying food and drink around a table. The concept of TOPA is a tapas bar with a Greek heart. The menu is mainly inspired by regional Spanish cuisines, particularly the Basque Country and Catalonia. Our philosophy draws from authentic elements of both regions, such as tapas culture, vermouths, and traditional ciders, which are widely known and appreciated throughout Spain. Here you will find a respectful meeting point of two Mediterranean traditions: Just like in Crete you can sit with dakos and tsikoudia, in the Basque Country it’s jamón and txakoli. Our goal is to bring these two cultures together with honesty and care.

★★★★★via Google“Food was unique and really tasty. Prices expensive for the portions. Would have given 5 starts if the staff was a little more chatty and friendly though... Snail casserole was interesting, cretan sausage very good. Cretan pasta didn't excited me, considering the price.. Would love it more with apaki rather than courgette..”
★★★★★via Google“I really liked this relaxed Greek/Basque inspired tapas bar in the Kypseli area of Athens. The menu has quite a number of really tempting choices that can be paired with eclectic wines on the wine menu .... even a pretty decent non- alcoholic white wine! Everything I and my friends ordered and enjoyed was well prepared with authentic flavors that were nicely balanced and showcased the quality of the ingredients used for each dish. The service was very friendly and prompt and the prices competitive. I already look forward to another visit to taste more of the Chef's inspiring tapas dishes. 😍😋”
★★★★★via Google“One of my go-to spots in Kypseli. A Spanish tapas restaurant with a Cretan twist that really sets it apart. I’ve been twice now and the food has been consistently great — it has a wide variety of dishes so you can try something different each time. Warm, relaxed atmosphere and always a place I’m excited to come back to.”
★★★★★via Google“A really fantastic addition to the food scene in Athens and an amazing addition to the ever growing collection of new, independent business in Kypseli. The restaurant is clean and attractive, the staff were really attentive and very nice and the food was excellent.”
★★★★★via Google“Excellent on so many levels. The food is just at the right level of creative, without losing the depth of the underlying ingredients. The Greek side is amazing. The Basque as good. The vibe is fun yet chilled, buzzy yet cozy. And the staff are charming (shout out to Andreas)!”
★★★★★via Google“We have been there twice so far and both times were excellent! We've had the seasonal greens, the chickpeas with oysters and the black hog both times, plus the ewe meatballs, the baby shrimp, the tuna with almonds and the Cretan lamb. Everything was delicious, the portions are sufficient but not large, the general atmosphere is welcoming. Both times we have paid around 30euros each (with 2 glasses of sparkling wine/beer) which I feel is decent for the quality you get. Since they don't accept reservations, just make sure you go early! I will definitely revisit! (greens, tuna, lamb, chickpeas and black hog in photos.)”
★★★★★via Google“Excellent dishes, authentic and prepared with attention to the flavours. Extensive wine menu, nice ambience, friendly staff. We especially loved the cod croquettes, the tuna with almonds, the tortilla and the pasta with zucchini. Great music too. We'll be back 😊”
★★★★★via Google“If you‘re not going there (once or twice to cover the amazing menu) you‘re missing out on an extraordinary food experience! A perfect mix of greek and spanish tapas! Very friendly staff. The carob olive oil gelato is probably the best ice cream I had this year (and I‘ve had plenty).”
