Cafes at Agglelaki, Melenikou, Alex. Svolou, Ag. Dimitriou, Navarino str. and dozens of street food joints around the Uni offer student prices (for as little as 1euro for spaggeti, pizza slice, hambourger, pies, caffee...). Also sandwiches, suvlaki, gyro, in canteens all over the city at price from 1.5-2.5 euros.

Restaurants
The city is full of gastronomic temptations, so apart from all the street food and mamas cooking cuisine there are plenty of restaurants to eat other specialites and fish in the city.
I would suggest brunch with begels and sandwiches in Estrella in Pavlou Mella (€3-8), Lunch in restaurants in Athonos square or Ladadika Region (€13-20), for large fish be perepared to pay minimum €20pp.
For smaller fish and budget prices try Lola opposite Kamara (Agapinou str 10). For beer or cofee with free choice of sidedish at LeJardin in Palaion Patron Germanou str. just opposite Plaisio Electronic store. To see amazing sunset go to the beachfront from the White Tower with a nice cold Freddo Cappuccino take away
