11 brunch rooms in Thessaloniki we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Thessaloniki | Brunch across every city.
Thessaloniki's brunch culture leans on its all-day cafe-delis and garden courtyards, where coffee, eggs and small plates run long into the afternoon. Ergon Agora and Estrella on Pavlou Mela are the city-centre staples, with Canteen on Dodekanisou Gounari and the leafy Donkey Garden and The Garden Bar drawing the weekend crowd. Up in Ano Poli, Taxim Hill trades on the view as much as the plate.
