Fantazio Kitchen — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

If you are looking for a restaurant that is instagramable and is located in a posh/hipster surrounding do not come to Fantazio.

The venue is minimalist and non-pretentious but the food is delicious and the service is awesome.

Since I discovered it some days ago I eat my lunch there every day.

The baba ghanoush is the best I had anywhere outside Lebanon.

The salads are fantastic as is the slightly toasted bread.

The saganaki cheese with lemon chutney (photo attached) costs only 5 Euros and is probably the best value item I had in any restaurant in Europe since I can remember.

The house wine is excellent as are the homemade potato gnocchi and the beans that were not on the menu but available as a dish of the day as well as lasagna.

The risotto is good but it needs parmigiano to elevate it to the next level so it did not qualify to the category of everything else...

UPDATE: I need to start with the update, because now it is even better for some reason. Just go, 20 to 25 euro per persoon is a steal.

For the past two years I have been passing from this place ( I live like a minute away), always wondering... Seemed like a lovely venue with an old-fashioned vibe. Now I don't know whether it changed hands, but today, luck would have it, I saw it was open and there was a table for four available.

Stepped in, sat down, and four hours later I left, content, satisfied and a very happy person. Still want to visit a second time later on to get a better opinion, but so far ... Pretty impressed. We had the cod, ceviche, gnocchi, farfale and a wonderfully fresh and...

So glad we stopped and sat down inside. Beautiful dinner with delicious homemade gnocci and a very fresh green salad with apple and grilled haloumi with a very tasty and refreshing dressing. The house white wine is fantastic. Although we were the only 2 inside the restaurant has a lovely vibe and fabulous music! The chef is lovely and has a great smile Highly recommend this...
