Food Scene

No better place for delicious, Mediterranean-with-a-twist food. Menu changes depending on the season , but there are a few must-try dishes you have to try, including the burger with kavourmo-patty, the fries with truffle oil, the grilled tuna steak and the pork shank. Nice beers from Greek micro-breweries and excellent cocktails to follow your meal. Importantly, this is one of the few places in Thessaloniki where smoking is not permitted.

Long list of tasty burgers and beautiful, minimalist design throughout. Has experienced great success over the last couple of years, meaning it might be crowded most of the time, but it is well worth the wait.

Great variety of burgers, with new ones added every now and then. Having tried most of their burgers, i would say the breakfast burger tops my list, with the tower burger coming a close second. Prices are fair and the location is excellent, as you can easily grab a drink at one of the bars in the surrounding area.

This is by far, in my humble opinion, the best of all places in the city centre, where you can grab some sushi. Great quality and more than affordable prices. I've been there a couple of times and there is not a single one that i left unsatisfied. They have nice combinations if you'd like to try a bit of everything but what tops my list is their smoked eel nigiri.

Lola is one of those places where delicious food, a great atmosphere, fantastic ouzo and warm-hearted people are combined. Lola & Antonis, both of whom i personally know, took over this traditional taverna from their father and have managed to transform it in a couple of years to one of the most talked-about places in Thessaloniki city centre. Lola has also recently featured in TV shows discussing the town's food scene. For starters try the "Antonis' pita" and the "Thea" (which is the Greek word for Goddess) salad. For mains i blindly recommend the shrimp pasta ("garidomakaronada") and the perfectly cooked sardines ("sardeles") and say a big yes to the complimentary dessert!

Hands down, Giannis is the "Mecca" of bougatsa (Greek pastry consisting of either semolina custard, cheese, or minced meat filling between layers of phyllo) in Thessaloniki. You can try it early in the morning or after a great night out but be prepared, as it is usually crowded with locals. Opening hours are usually midnight - noon. In addition to the classic version with custard cream, i definitely recommend trying the minced meat bougatsa (combine it with yoghurt). The perfect pair for a cream bougatsa is chocolate milk.

Great place to give a try, if you are looking for creative and tasty mediterranean seafood dishes. The interior design is industrial and their prices are equal to the quality. Mostly locals frequent it, so it is rather unlikely that you'll see tourists for the time being.

One of the best grill downtown, sizeable sandwiches with suvlaki, gyros, beef burger or halloumi cheese. Chips appear to be hand-cut and service is fast most of the time.

Absolutely recommended in case you are looking for upscale dining in a top-notch restaurant. The ambience is elegant and fantastic, the quality of ingredients and level of cooking similar to other high-class European restaurants, the personnel knowledgeable and attentive (without being overwhelming or patronizing) and service is excellent. Naturally, you get what you pay for, meaning that level of prices is on par with what is being offered. There is also a very interesting wine list with top Greek wines.

Featured in Rick Stein's Long Weekends TV program (UK), Ellinikon is a perfect place for nibbles with some ouzo, a relaxed tapas-style lunch or a full-blown dinner. Very close the seafront, near the White Tower, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the menu full and an excellent example of local cuisine, well cooked and presented. Stuffed onions, zucchini fritters with tzatziki, cretan salad, stuffed vine leaves, feta saganaki, giant beans and grilled seafood are only some of the highly recommended menu options.

High-quality Greek cuisine with an inventive twist in a great neighbourhood a couple of minutes walk from the flat. Tria Gourounakia (which translates into 3 little pigs in Greek) offers great portions that are well prepared, good service, reasonable prices and nice decor. Also, there is a tasty homemade bread assortment and dip as gratis starter.

Previously a kafeneio (cafe-type venue predominantly frequented by elderly people for socialising over a cup of traditional Greek coffee, shots of ouzo or raki and some nibbles, combined with card or board games), Neos Galerios was transformed to a spot for lunch/dinner or drinks, a great example of urban food scene/nightlife evolution. The new owners were respectful of the previous decoration, the cuisine is interesting and affordable and the restaurant is next to Galerius' palace, in one of the most historic parts of Thessaloniki.

This casual eatery is located in a very picturesque square, surrounded by a street market of natural products, fruit and vegetables. Katsamaka brothers offers a delicious menu, polite waiters, and a delightful assortment of greek traditional products available for sale. Make sure you try the black pork souvlaki, the dish this tavern is rightfully famous for and trust the waiter to help you pick the kind of cheese that goes with your wine. One of their best is graviera cheese with truffle.

One my two favourite Mexican places in town (see also Habanera, which is a bit outside the city center). El Burrito is divided in two sections: one is a small and cosy restaurant with great colours and the other a bar offering well prepared cocktails. While Mexican tastes are toned down a bit to suit the European palate the quality and quantity of the food offered is satisfying. Well recommended if you want to have a break from Greek food and sip down on some nice cocktails.

Situated in the lovely and picturesque pedestrian area created by the Zefxidos and Iktinou roads, amidst a number of other nice cafes and bars, Urban is a retro-style cafe/bar paying tribute to the glorious days of former decades. Highly suggested if you want to have a coffee in a nice setting or sip on a beer or cocktail later in the evening/night with great tunes playing in the background.

Cafe Bazaar has been a landmark in the Athonos Area for many years. A cozy and atmospheric family-owned restaurant, Bazaar excels at multiple fronts, from the wonderfully prepared authentic dishes with fresh and organic ingredients hand-picked by the owner on a daily basis from the nearby fresh produce market, to the carefully devised selection of grappas, wines and cocktails. The restaurant is on a quiet side street, making it a perfect venue for a chill dinner with friends. On occasion, live music events are organised. Definitely not to be missed, if you are all for authentic spots, good-quality dining and easy-going places.

Beyond the walls (https://beyond-the-walls.business.site/), just next to the Byzantine walls, in the area of Fragon, is definitely recommended for brunch and coffee, lunch, dinner and drinks. Staff is courteous and service tends to be on the fast side, while prices are reasonable.

From the outside this lovely tucked away restaurant (which would be impossible to find by accident) looks more like a kafeneio (old-fashioned Greek coffee shop) than a proper restaurant. The not particularly extensive menu changes almost on a daily basis and no matter which plates you will try, you will find that the combination of flavours is creative, the culinary interpretation well-delivered and the cooking is to perfection. The one thing to note is that the place is small and can get rather busy, especially during the weekend, so make sure that you make a reservation.

Drinks & Nightlife

Snazzy styled bar with minimalist decoration, situated in a boisterous beehive of creativity, art, music and cultural events. Confluence of an incongruous crowd who meet for coffee or an informal business meeting, early drinks or some late offbeat cocktails.

Great cocktails and other drinks, good coffee, tasteful music and smoking not allowed! This is definitely the proper place for a cocktail aficionado, as well as for the uninitiated one. There are more than 70 cocktails on the menu. Every night the DJs drop a blend of soulful, funk and disco tunes with a twist of pop giving a final touch to the ambience of the place. That keeps it classic but yet modern, which brings together a mixture of people that really enjoy great music.

This is a little gem if you are looking for a place to casually and (most importantly) slowly sip on a nice drink after a long day of exploring the city, or to wrap up an already relaxing day. It is also conveniently situated, only a couple of minutes away from the flat, which makes it even more difficult to resist it.

Yet another little gem in the neighborhood, the Pikap (translates to turntable in English), is a cozy small bar with all kinds of Berlin vibes to it. They usually have guest DJs on Saturdays, so might be worth checking it out if you are around on a Saturday and are looking for a place to have a few drinks, or a nightcap. They also have a multi-purpose room in the basement, which sometimes is used for screenings or small scale art exhibitions so might be worth checking out if there's anything running on the day there if you go.

This one is a bit further away from the flat compared to Elefantas, and Pikap, but it's definitely worth the extra 10 minute walk. One of my very own personal favourites, Elxate fails to fail both if you are looking to grab a drink, or just in the market for a place to chill for coffee. They also have a small place next door where they make the most gorgeous sandwiches but they also have salads if you haven't caught up on your veg intake for the day.

The White Tower is the city's most emblematic structure. There is a permanent exhibition that you can visit, which displays the history of Thessaloniki throughout the years, from its foundation until today, with a thematic differentiation for each floor. The great round staircase (easy peasy) takes you to the top from where you can enjoy stunning views over Thesaloniki, the seafront and the sea. More information about this sight, admission prices and opening hours can be found here: http://www.lpth.gr/ If you are early birds, it's better visiting in the morning, as it tend to gets rather crowded in the afternoon.
