Yiannis Loukakis's first room remains a touchstone for market cooking in Thessaloniki. The menu is handwritten on thick cardboard and rewritten every day around whatever the organic markets and the fishermen deliver, served with rigour and almost zero fuss. Big windows, plain wooden tables and a natural-wine list make it the city's defining gastrotavern.

Editor's Tip

Strictly seasonal and small-format; nothing arrives farmed or air-freighted. Lunch is the local move. Cash-light, reservations wise.
