FAVELA Bit Bazar — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

I was recommended this restaurant by our hotel staff. They didn't steer me wrong.

The restaurant is quite large with seating inside and out ( with patio heaters) with plenty of seats for small and large groups.

Not knowing what to try, our waitress sugeted we try a bit of everything. We started with a range of cheese dishes. The battered cheese in honey and feta doughnuts are amazing, We then had some hot peppers, which are hotter than we expected but still very nice. We ended with a mixed meat plater. This had lamb skewers, burgers, half a chicken and pork belly.

Every dish was lovely and I wish I'd had the appetite to try more. The prices were, we considered cheep compared to the equivalent in the UK.

I would throughly recommend if you are...

A great place to visit. It contains a number of different restaurants and bars to try so be prepared to visit a number of times or choose carefully where you choose to eat. The bazaar has an rustic charm and is hidden within the courtyard of the buildings, you use the entrance pictured to access the different bars.

It’s a student area so the clientele are relatively younger, so it makes for a lively atmosphere.

Because it’s a student area it’s pretty cheap, €3.30 for 500ml beer! Cheapest I’ve found so far.

It doesn’t get busy until about 9 or 10pm, so get there early for a table, I visited on a Thursday and was busy later, so on a weekend I’m sure it...

It was a cool place, and if you're looking for basic greek food like you can find in England then it is right up your street. Favela is tucked away in a cool enclosed area that is open air. You are outside but inside, the location is very nice and central. When we first got there I thought that it looked awesome. The only problem is that there were very few vegan options and they were not clearly labelled, no vegan section etc., or even vegetarian. I had to ask the waiters each dish if it was vegan. If you are English and you came here to drink, then this is a good place, you can eat greek food like you get in London. If you want good food, go somewhere...
