Garçon Brasserie — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

The food and service were absolutely amazing the first time we went a couple of days ago. And it is by far not a cheap place to go but we pay for the quality. However, it is an absolute disaster. we went there again today and ordered the same eye fillet for our 21 months old baby. We have made it clear to the waiter this is for baby. So keep it lite with the seasoning. But after I fed about 1/5 of the steak to her. I decided to have a tasted And it is SUPER salty. WAYYY over the normal saltiness to any human being. When we told the guy who brings people in from downstairs about the situation, the first thing he said was denying! And it is been spoken in Greek. As my husband is Greek. He basically just said to us ‘no. We don’t put salt on it’, so I ask him to try if he doesn’t believe it. He denies to even try it too. Can I please know what is this thing that has been putting on the steak to make it so salty and it is not salt ?! After I said I don’t want it anymore. Take it away. He decided to replace the fillet with a way smaller one and after more than half an hour when everyone finished their food. All other stuff are nice which makes me feel incredibly sorry for them that they do not deserve a bad review.. But you only need one bad one to drive your customers away. Very very...

I was there on a Sunday evening which was fairly quiet. Unfortunately there was no piano player. The building is beautiful! From the wooden finishes to the wine displays and Christmas ornaments. It was a feast to the eyes which i enjoyed.

Food was alright. Nothing special nor is it memorable.

What I ordered: Beef tartar: was not very pleasant to eat because the taste of mustard was strong and overpowering unfortunately.

Mushrooms sauté with porcini sauce and hazelnuts: They we’re not wild mushrooms, however it was creamy and delicious. I’m not a mushroom fan but they did win me over with that dish! I recommend.

Linguine with fresh truffle: What you see is what you get. It was good nothing special.

Duck fillet with orange sauce and parsnip puree: the duck was cooked well! Fatty and delicious. It’s a simple dish.

Overall it was an ok experience. The service staff was nice and attentive (table maintenance) but they lacked emotional connection. Would I go back? Probably not. If it wasn’t for the beautiful decor and wonderful location, I would not have gone in. It’s on the pricy end which is...

Delightful experience! The atmosphere is so beautiful, to such an extent that you refuse to leave.

Our table was closely located to the Piano and to our surprise there was a live performance at Saturday night. The singer and the pianist were in great harmony and their act was simply beautiful! The music was properly volumed, nor too loud, nor too quiet, perfectly balanced…

The service was wonderful and the food, twice as excellent. The taste combination was exceptional and the general taste palette was superb!

Only slight complaint that I have, with my review which I would not acknowledge in terms of rating are the, prolonged wait for the main course serving (understandable due to the lack of table availability, hence the quantity of customers) and the ludicrous drivers on the main road near the sea, blasting terrible music from their vehicles and frankly, ruining the otherwise lovely performance!

I would not consider this as restaurant issue, much more towards the location, which compensates with an exceptional view out to the sea!

Having a very captious taste I certainly recommend Garçon...
