MEZEDHES

This cosy corner spot with bright, arty decor, has a small but delicious range of simple,
freshly cooked mezedhes. Ask for the daily specials as there's only a rough Greek hand-
written menu. A good ouzo selection lights things up.

This successful Thessaloniki restaurant is a bit gimmicky, with goofy, oversized menus,
but the food does not disappoint. Friendly service and a range of creative mezedhes make
it one of the better offerings in the area.
