Depending on how you eat - you can get away with anywhere from 25 - 60 euro for two. For example, if you eat a couple of appetizers and share a main plate, with a 1/2 kilo of house wine, you'd be on the low end. An appetizer, two main plates, house wine ... you'll be in the middle. The higher end depends on your choice of wine. In general when we eat out anywhere in Athens (not splurges) we tend to find a meal anywhere in the center costs around 20 - 25 euro per person. On the other hand, our favorite hidden spot, Kostas, in our neighborhood behind the old Olympic Stadium, never runs us more than 9 euro a person and we leave stuffed, satisfied and full of wonderful regional Greek wine and we eat wonderful fresh fish at a really generic looking Pagrati restaurant (Alegro) for 15 euro/kilo, when everywhere else you'll find it between 40 - 55 euro/kilo!
