WHAT TO CHOSE
If you eat meat, don’t miss out on trying “kontosouvli” , “kebab”, “gardoumpes” and “giaprakia” at the restaurants in Thessaloniki, whereas if you prefer seafood, visit one of the city’s seafood restaurant and try out “mydopilafo”, fruits of the sea, prawns “saganaki”, stuffed squid, and other seafood titbits. Make sure to accompany your seafood with ouzo, a Greek drink made up of various aromatic herbs and aniseed which is just the right thing to drink with this type of food.

All the restaurants in Thessaloniki maintain the quality and culture of tastes they offer. The residents of Thessaloniki are demanding with their foods and “mediocre” food is something that cannot be forgiven. So, the standards of restaurants in the city are very high. The prefecture of Thessaloniki is also known for its ‘pitas’ with any filling you can imagine, cheese pies, leek pies, spinach pies, meat pies and many more.

While in Thessaloniki, it is worth trying the traditional “bougatsa” with cream, cheese, mince meat, “touloubes” and the so called “trigona” of Panorama that are known in all of Greece, “ekmek kadaifi” and “kazan dipi”. If you are into sweets, you will definitely go crazy with all the above.
