Kind of what resembles a fine dining experience: Restaurant Clochard (24. November 2024)
The last evening in Thessaloniki was definitely something interesting since it looked the closest thing to fine dining. I had booked a table in advance, which would not have been necessary for a Sunday evening, but better to be safe than sorry. Once you have placed your order, they will provide you with a greeting […]
The perfect place to sit down in peace and read a book: Restaurant Kafodeio Elliniko (24. November 2024)
I was looking for a place to warm up and have a bit of a read, and the Kafodeio Elliniko turned out to be the perfect place to do so. At first, it’s not really where you’d expect a relaxed and chill atmosphere since it’s more of a pub with music, but once you go […]
Great atmosphere and superb service: Restaurant Extravaganza (23. November 2024)
The name promises an exciting experience, and in all fairness, the place is actually quite lovely. Now, when you walk by, I’m not sure, I would have walked in, but after substantial research, I decided to give the place a try, and it was worth it. The location is small and there aren’t too many […]
A lovely food experience, but service could improve: Restaurant Nea Folia (23. November 2024)
I had already read about the Nea Folia in preparation of my trip a few weeks ago, but since one could not book online, I didn’t book a table at the time. However, when I was wondering around the city that day, I kind of accidentally passed it, and was then happy that I found […]
A lovely seafood experience where you have to book in advance: Restaurant Marea Sea Spirit (22. November 2024)
Thessalonik is n0t necessarily the place for fine dining, but with a bit of research you will eventually find a nice place or two. If you’re into seafood, the Marea sea spirit is definitely something I can recommend. I had booked a table well in advance and was happy that I had done so, since […]
A rooftop bar with a lovely view onto the Acropolis: Olympias, The Rooftop Bar (17. November 2024)
Although we weren’t too lucky with the weather this weekend, the sun decided to come out about 2 hours before we left. So, why not get a little of that sun and look for a nice rooftop bar – and so we found the Olympias, which is lovely as the view onto the Acropolis is […]
Quite a lovely and truly local Greek restaurant experience: Restaurant Atitamos (17. November 2024)
Given we had originally planned to eat something in the Piraeus area (near the harbour), we didn’t have anything booked for lunch, so, it was a bit of a searching exercise, and frankly, it wasn’t easy to find something, which would look (online) great. And despite having walked to like four different restaurants, we didn’t […]
An absolutely amazing dining experience inspired by locally farmed ingredients: Restaurant Soil (16. November 2024)
The Soil is one of the restaurants I’ll definitely keep a memory of even years later. Their concept is quite lovely as they basically base most of their foods on what they grow in their own garden (located about 1 km outside of Athens), and they celebrate that quite a bit. We decided to go […]
