Ouzopinelies Peter — Restaurant in Municipality of Thessaloniki

I was struggling to find any reason to give them another star, for the friendly and polite service alone, but the food was simply bad. So bad everything was left half-eaten. The marinated anchovies, the ''pantremenes'' (meaning married) sardines and the ''htypiti'' cheese spread were tasteless which is just wrong as they should all have intense flavours. The fries were ok... and then the disaster. The fried mussels were overcooked, which made the batter hard as rock and the mussels chewy. Worst of all were the red mullets, a costly fish which is usually served pan fried crispy and has a sweet almost not ''fishy'' taste was served to our table almost as if it was boiled, with the skin coming off the fish and floating in oil...smelling of sardines! Leaving this fish untouched has never occurred to me before! The dishes were all slightly more expensive than other tavernas in central areas of Thessaloniki, which makes no sense considering the location or the restaurants vibe. Huge disappointment and I would not recommend...

I’m so glad that I came to this cozy restaurant. It’s a little away from the busy touristy area (which often tends to be where you find hidden gems). The food is amazing. We had a Greek Salad which is light but tasty. The olive oil they use is very different from what is used back home. The feta cheese is so yummy. Interesting how they put some green onion as well. The Grilled Eggplant, covered entirely by feta cheese, has some slight smoky taste. The temperature is just right, not too hot, slightly hotter than luke-warm. It’s a super comfort food. I was going to order the grilled octopus but the waiter recommended this octopus with herbs and spice instead. It was definitely a great recommendation. He said they use honey. The sweetness is subtle but it’s just right. Last but the least, my favourite was the smoked mackerel. The smokiness is quite strong which I love. Don’t forget to soak all the olive oil with bread, which also has that amazing smokey taste. Simple and friendly...
