Cafe30 restaurantsCoffee is taken seriously here, from third-wave roasters to old-school all-day rooms.
Cocktail bar19 restaurantsThessaloniki drinks late, and the cocktail map runs from the Ladadika warehouses to the bar-packed lanes off Valaoritou and Aristotelous.
Bakery16 restaurantsThessaloniki bakes for the street, and the morning starts with bougatsa, koulouri and the city's beloved layered trigona.
Street food15 restaurantsThessaloniki eats on its feet, and the markets and pavements set the pace from dawn.
Wine bar12 restaurantsThe wine-bar scene tracks Thessaloniki's growing interest in Greek labels, often built into restaurants and all-day rooms rather than standing alone.
Brunch11 restaurantsThessaloniki's brunch culture leans on its all-day cafe-delis and garden courtyards, where coffee, eggs and small plates run long into the afternoon.
Seafood9 restaurantsWith the Thermaic Gulf at its feet, Thessaloniki treats fish as a defining cuisine, from harbour-side classics to creative chef-led rooms.
Tasting menu9 restaurantsThessaloniki's tasting-menu tables are few but ambitious, drawn from its best seafood and modern-Greek kitchens.
Brewery8 restaurants
French bistro2 restaurantsThe French-leaning table is a small but distinct corner of Thessaloniki's dining.
