Plaisir

Plaisir is a well located patisserie and cafe, right in the heart of the centre of Thessaloniki. They serve excellent pastries and ice-cream, small bites and bigger plates good enough for dinner.

Cafes

The line between cafes and bars is quite blurry in Thessaloniki. You'll find the same place serving coffees all day to a crowd of bookworms and digital nomads only to switch things around towards the evening. Laptops get put away, beers and cocktails magically appear on the bistro tables, the music volume gets turned up a notch or two. When it comes to desserts, the influence of the Ottoman empire is quite noticeable. Honey and filo pastry, nuts and halva — don't miss the chance to try the local versions. Biting into a crunchy and creamy trigona is a must.
