Nea Diagonios

Nea Diagonios is well-known for its gyros and soutzoukakia (a local type of meatballs). They also offer a gluten-free menu with a special handmade cheeseburger. Enjoy your dinner with a beer from artisanal breweries like Nissos from Tinos and Donkey from Santorini. The prices are quite democratic compared to the neighbouring restaurants.

Dining

Take a walk through the famous Ladadika area, near Aristotelous square, and you will find a number of traditional restaurants, ouzeries and taverns. Enjoy grills and inventive recipes such as kontosouvli, giaprakia and gardoubes with a glass of wine or ouzo. If you are craving seafood, you will be excited to try mussel pilaf, grilled sardine, frutti di mare, shrimp saganaki and stuffed squid in one of the many fish taverns of the town. Thessaloniki caters to a variety of tastes. The service is usually unhurried yet very friendly, and most people are comfortable speaking English. Traditional Macedonian food, Oriental cuisine and European cuisine, as well as many vegan and vegetarian options await you.
