Manolis tavern - barbecue house — Restaurant in Thermaikos Municipality

I think anyone that lives in the local Thessaloniki area his eating at Manolis or the other similar restaurant on the road, and from what I hear related. The food as always was excellent. You go to this tavern to eat meat, please don't go there if you're vegetarian! You have to order the soutzoukakia, that's what it's all about over there! It's ground beef that we use other levels that we have never experienced! The atmosphere was very nice, the waiter and the service were way above average as always.

Please don't miss going to this place...

Only downside to the restaurant is that it resides in a remote place, away from downtown and is also easy to miss if you haven't been there. Other than that, this place is a must for families as well as gatherings, or any situation actually, if you ever happen to be...

"Manolis" is a meat heaven. Must be the best place in Thessaloniki for baby lamb ribs (paidákia). Another option is meatballs (keftedákia) or soutzoukákia (similar to meatballs but grilled, not fried and spicy). Combine this with green salad and thin sliced home made fried potatoes, strewn with kefalotyri (salty hard cheese) and ice cold beer and there you have the all favourite greek...
