Trigona Elenidis

Trigona Elenidis a family owned business that’s been passed down by generations which is worth supporting. They serve a traditional Greek dessert — Trigona. It is a triangular filo-based pastry that’s dipped in syrup and filled with sweet vanilla cream. Their ice-cream is marvellous, as well. Treat yourself!

Cafes

The line between cafes and bars is quite blurry in Thessaloniki. You'll find the same place serving coffees all day to a crowd of bookworms and digital nomads only to switch things around towards the evening. Laptops get put away, beers and cocktails magically appear on the bistro tables, the music volume gets turned up a notch or two. When it comes to desserts, the influence of the Ottoman empire is quite noticeable. Honey and filo pastry, nuts and halva — don't miss the chance to try the local versions. Biting into a crunchy and creamy trigona is a must.
