Olympos Naoussa is a fine-dining restaurant in Thessaloniki.
The 1926 building on Nikis Avenue returned to fine dining in 2022 when chef Dimitris Tasioulas took over and earned an FNL star. High tea, private dining at Tiger Loop, and modern Greek gastronomy with sea views make it the waterfront's most accomplished table.
Address: Leoforos Nikis 5, Thessaloniki 546 24
Clochard operates at the intersection of French bistronomic discipline and Greek ingredient sourcing. The monthly menu, exceptional wine list, and quiet room on Mitropoleos make it the city's most consistently accomplished bistro-level kitchen.
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.
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.
