Glykanisos is a fine-dining restaurant in Thessaloniki.
The Sotiroudis brothers have built one of Thessaloniki's finest seafood tables since 2008 in Pylaia. The house tsipouro label Euforikon, distilled from Muscat grapes, is the canonical accompaniment to a long creative seafood lunch here.
Address: Megalou Alexandrou 46, Pylaia, Thessaloniki 555 35
The Makedonia Palace Hotel dining room overlooks the Thermaikos Gulf and Mount Olympus. Chef Sotiris Evangelou's kitchen holds the Toques d'Or distinction and interprets traditional Greek recipes through seasonal sourcing and technical precision.
Housed in the historic Stoa Ptolemeon arcade in the city centre, Extravaganza presents the contemporary Greek kitchen under chef Antonis Moustakas with strong local sourcing and a menu that rotates seasonally. Operates Wed to Mon from 13:00. Closed Tuesdays.
SinTrofi's zero-waste kitchen and biodynamic wine cellar represent Thessaloniki's most principled fine dining. The daily menu is built on seasonal organic produce and small-producer wines, and the room in Ladadika has a quiet intensity that rewards focus.
Iliopetra at the foot of Ano Poli is small, no-frills, and reservation-essential. Chef Giorgos Zannakis builds a daily menu fusing Greek classics with international accents, generating serious local and press attention since early 2025.
Mourga straddles the boundary between casual and fine dining: handwritten menus, organic-market sourcing, and a kitchen with genuine creative ambition in a glass-fronted narrow hall in Ladadika. One of the most discussed restaurants in northern Greece.
The more accessible side of chef Manolis Papoutsakis's Thessaloniki operation, Deka Trapezia serves Cretan-rooted meze in a casual no-reservation format on renovated Stratigou Kallari Street in Ladadika.
