Olympos Naoussa ★ 4.6
The 1926 waterfront landmark reopened in 2022 as one of the city's most ambitious restaurants under FNL-recognised chef Dimitris Tasioulas. The lunch format on Nikis Avenue is more accessible than the full tasting menu, with views of the White Tower.
Trizoni Exclusive ★ 4.6
Chef Asterios Sousouras's daily-supply seafood restaurant in Ladadika earned an FNL Best Restaurant Award star in 2025 and is one of the most admired fish kitchens in northern Greece. The walk-in bar seating at the Raw Bar offers a quicker, less formal route to the same outstanding fish.
Maitr and Margarita ★ 4.4
Open September to May only, Maitr and Margarita brings a genuinely seasonal approach to Ladadika. The natural wine list and daily-market menu have made it a fixture for the city's food-curious professionals across the cooler months.
Clochard ★ 4.5
Clochard's monthly-changing menu and exceptional Greek wine list make it the most wine-forward bistro in Thessaloniki. The quiet Mitropoleos location suits long dinners and the kitchen's French-informed discipline rewards repeat visits.
Mavri Thalassa ★ 4.5
Founded in 1926, Mavri Thalassa in Kalamaria is Thessaloniki's most storied seafood institution. The wine cellar holds over 300 labels. For a casual visit, the mezedakia lunch format at the bar keeps the bill manageable without losing the kitchen's quality.
