Brusco Meze Bar — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

First, I must say I love their Talagani cheese which comes with the most exquisite homemade figs+cranberry marmalade, and that was the reason I came there again.

However, the staff was unpleasant, especially the barman who was the only English speaking person on shift. The restaurant was half empty, and yet he was irritated by every communication I've made. At first I thought it was because he was busy taking out a large order, which is understandable (and yet), but as it quieted down and I asked for the bill, he literally rolled his eyes and scoffed.

We got dessert on the house (mini brownies tonight) and when we tried to tip, we got another round of drinks on the house. We went on Friday night and while busy, we got a table right away and hardly waited any time for our food.

Would recommend, great food and personally didn't think it was a tourist trap at all (like is often the case with eateries so close to...

The location of the bar is just next to the Acropolis wall. The service was imaculate, we got suggestion when asked for one, the waitress served us the food with a smile and positive attitude. The food was AMAZING! We orders several mezes and everything was sooo delicious. I recomend the Bouyiourdi - a tipical Thessalonikian dish that consists of feta cheese, yellow cheese, tomatoes, bell pepper, chili pepper, olive oil, oregano, and...
