Mezen Salonica
The never-ending meze that reset how the city shares plates
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Tucked on tiny Rogoti street near Ladadika, Mezen reframed Thessaloniki's meze ritual around a never-ending parade of small plates, fried red mullet, octopus, taramas and the day's seafood arriving one after another until you call a halt. It runs on tsipouro and a loud, communal energy that feels urban without losing the tradition. The format proved influential enough to spawn the spin-off PSI.
Editor's Tip
Go hungry and in a group; the plates keep coming until you stop them. Tsipouro is the house drink.
