MONO Unique Fresh — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

The dining experience was overall enjoyable, and one could certainly appreciate the culinary efforts invested. The food presented was satisfactory. Each dish was prepared well, demonstrating a good balance of flavors and textures that came together in a pleasing symphony. Although there was nothing particularly groundbreaking about the dishes served, they were certainly enjoyable and fulfilled their purpose of satisfying the hunger and providing a good meal.

The true highlight of the evening, however, was the service. It was a beacon of excellence. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with a warm, welcoming smile, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. The waitstaff displayed a level of professionalism and attention to detail that was truly exceptional. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, seeming to anticipate our needs before we even knew them ourselves. The staff's commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in each interaction, making the dining experience all the more delightful.

As for the atmosphere, it was comfortably decent. The décor was tastefully done, showing a careful balance between style and comfort. Soft, ambient lighting washed over well-spaced tables, adding a sense of coziness. The background music was a pleasant touch, never intrusive but always there, subtly complementing the overall ambiance. However, it fell short of being memorable. It was pleasant and non-distracting, which for many is an ideal setting, yet lacked that certain 'je ne sais quoi' that would have made it exceptional. Despite this, it did not detract from the overall positive experience of the evening.

All in all, the satisfactory culinary offerings, coupled with outstanding service and a decent atmosphere, made for a fine...

I'll start with the bottom line: EXPENSIVE. Now the rest:

Location: central, on the main square, you can get a glimpse of the sea if you sit close to the square.

There is no place to sit inside, only outside. In the winter, there is a closed off area for sitting but if it's very cold like today (2 deg) then you won't we warm even with the heating "poles". So eating in the cold is not fun...

Service: Nice and friendly 🙂 no complains here.

Food: That's where I was very disappointed. I took the "eggs with bacon" under the brunch menu, which cost 9 Eur.

I got a big plate with a small portion of fucaccia (which was thin as if it was cut in half, horizontally) with eggs on top of it and bacon on the side.

Around that there were many Arugula leaves that you can easily buy in a "leaves mix" bag in a supermarket.

The fucaccia bread was dry and hard to cut, and the dish itself was pretty simple - something you can make yourself at home.

I left hungry and disappointed for paying so much and getting so little. Even if the owners say that they use fresh quality ingredients - it's still too much to pay.

For 9 Eur I would expect either a bigger portion, or a proper side salad (not just leaves) and / or a drink like coffe or orange juice (a bit like the breakfast deal).

To conclude: avoid of you are hungry and don't want to spend much.

Otherwise it's a very...
