Don’t be fooled by the low-key suburban setting of this sociable nook that curls around a giant eucalyptus tree at the far end of Voula Square. Their Moscow mules and whiskey sours are as good as any you’ll score downtown (if you really want to surf the Voula coastal vibe, the passion-fruit cocktail is the way to go). Though billed as a bar, Dentro’s ace is that the food is every bit as terrific as what’s in your glass. The menu is reasonably-priced and varied enough to cater for all those outings when half of you are in “brunch mode” while the others are raring for the next course. I’m hooked on the conchiglioni (pasta shells on steroids) with bolognese, chili and parmesan foam; my husband rarely deviates from the pancakes with bacon jam; while our kids go nuts for the juicy loaded-up burgers. They excel at kerasma too here (that uniquely Greek brand of hospitality). Get a decent round in and you'll likely be brought a plate of posh bruschetta on the house.

Is it a nightclub? Or a mecca for elite meat? Actually, this hip and happening Voula butcher is both—depending on when you visit. And there’s more: the cellar is a high-end restaurant called Dry & Raw, with a decadent, underground vibe where you can pick out your favourite imported cuts of Wagyu, Kobe or striploin beef and have them cooked your way. Otherwise select from pricey statement dishes, such as poached lobster with pak choi miso sauce and the curiously named “Bullshit”- short ribs slow-cooked for 48 hours. Don’t have the readies? Shop Drakoulis’ pre-packaged meat, including delicious bifteki (burger) patties and marinated chicken skewers that won’t break the bank.
