Situated along a coastal road in the trendy Athens suburb of Glyfada, Souk is a veritable food bazaar, serving Lebanese street fare around the clock. Designed by Athens-based architecture firm K-Studio, the industrial-style building comprises an assortment of stalls, each specialising in a different dish that is made fresh before your eyes. Long canteen-style tables, surrounded by a colourful jumble of mismatched chairs, give the venue a laid-back atmosphere, while subtle references to Islamic architecture are evident throughout, from the faded floor tiles to ceramic light fittings.
