Cuisine and Restaurants

All Greece loves olives – that is why olive oil is an integral part of Greek cooking. In Thessaloniki you might enjoy popular food from all Greece, like the rose coloured fish cream taramas, the garlic-yoghurt-cream tsatsiki, meat plates like gyros or souvlaki, or as well the typical Greek cheese.

But you will also find specialities exclusively from Northern Greece, which are especially tasty, varied and sometimes piquant. Herein included are pites, richly and variously filled puff pastries, or the famous mezedes, far relatives of Spanish tapas: small canaps, which might be composed of tomatoes, olives, or goat’s cheese, and which you will enjoy accompanying alcoholic drinks.
