SALONIKA

Makedonia Palace’s gastronomic focal point is the Salonika Restaurant. Here, from the beginning of breakfast at 7 am until late at night, the taste has no "musts." But it does have inspiration, freshness, and of course, confidence in the chef. Especially when, instead of consulting the menu, a guest, while meeting him in the dining hall, gives him a tasty carte blanche asking him to "prepare whatever he wants." A destination awarded with two consecutive “Toques d’Or” in 2020 and 2021 as the city's top restaurant, as well as the corresponding distinction from the Greek Cuisine Awards 2022.

From a goat prepared in the pot and a wine-roasted wild boar to fresh fish, good ingredients are cooked in every way: grilled, steamed, roasted, stewed, or fried. Their different versions reveal the aspects of a tradition with character and aesthetics that we all ought to discover.

For the locals, every visit is a journey through the memories of the traditional family Sunday table. For the visitors, it is an authentic experience and a study of Greek gastronomic culture. For everyone, it is a delightful reference to Thessaloniki’s culinary past. The cooking of the heart has found its home and ideal exponent.
