Super Ioulios on Mitropolitou Gennadiou has one of the most considered natural wine lists in northern Greece, with 200 labels spanning Xinomavro, Assyrtiko, Malagousia, and rare single-vineyard bottlings. By day a specialty coffee bar, by evening the best natural wine destination in the city.
Wine focus: Greek natural wines, amphora-aged, low-intervention
Souel on Pavlou Mela carries over 200 labels with a focus on Greek varietals from Naoussa Xinomavro to Santorini Assyrtiko alongside a curated European selection. The by-the-glass programme changes weekly; the kitchen serves small plates designed around wine pairing.
Wine focus: Greek and European, 200+ labels, natural and classic
Clochard's wine programme anchors its bistronomic identity: monthly menus are written around the cellar's strength rather than the reverse. The Xinomavro selection from Naoussa and Amindeon is the deepest in central Thessaloniki, backed by a thoughtful Burgundy and Rhone selection.
Wine focus: Greek and French, bistronomic pairings, Xinomavro focus
Mia Feta on Pavlou Mela is the city's most focused cheese-and-wine destination, billed as the world's first feta bar. The wine list pairs with the Greek cheese counter and half-glass pours make the cellar genuinely accessible for solo visitors. Every Greek wine region is represented by at least one label. Mon to Sat 09:00 to 00:00.
Wine focus: Greek wines, Greek cheese pairing, half-glass options
Open September to May, Maitr and Margarita builds its menu and wine list simultaneously from the same seasonal logic. The natural wine selection spans Georgian skin-contact whites, Macedonian Xinomavro, and southern Italian naturals, changed monthly to track harvests.
Wine focus: Natural wines, seasonal small-producer Greek and European
Mavri Thalassa's wine cellar with over 300 labels is one of the most serious in northern Greece. The list is built for seafood: Assyrtiko, Malagousia, and aged white Xinomavro anchor the Greek selection; white Burgundy and Austrian Gruner represent the European wines.
Wine focus: 300+ label Greek and European list, seafood focus
