Lunch at Aspro Dentro was a genuinely unforgettable experience, which we renewed with pleasure even though the city of Thessaloniki is clearly not lacking in terms of restaurants, and we did try many!

In my experience the White Tree is an incredible place that has so many options for everyone. I'm sure that if anyone decides to go will have a delicious and...

Dishes made with care and finesse using top quality seasonal products, each offering unique experiences to your palate (consider trying the colourful salads and the legume dishes). The design of the restaurant is minimally elegant with a boho twist; feels like a warm embrace that invites you to fully relax and has all it takes to become the place to return again and again. The magician behind this unique place is Antonis, bright and inspired - the moment you meet him you start connecting the dots as to why this place feels like home and vibrates with light and...
