Thessaloniki Munchies (part 1)

Thessaloniki, Greece’s foodie capital isn’t playing around when it comes to street food. As the cultural crossroads of the Balkans, the city’s food landscape reflects its rich history and diverse influences, from Mediterranean to Middle Eastern cuisine. We are sharing with you some seriously good eats that we as locals & foodies love so we got you covered for your next trip to Thessaloniki 😉.

Salento: Wood-Fired Magic & Salentina Sandwiches

Salento isn’t just another pizza place – it’s where pizza dough gets a glow-up in the form of Salentinas. Think of them as pizza bread sandwiches with tasty fillings of the all-time Italian classics to creative combinations of fresh Mediterranean ingredients. This should be your first stop.

halu!’s Order: Bolognese Salentina, Vegan BBQ Salentina, Prawn Salentina and always check for that Chocolate Mousse Salentina!

Cantina Manara: Smashed Burgers, Cocktails & Dance Music

Cantina Manara is serving up smashed burgers with a side of nightlife. It’s where craft cocktails meet perfectly cooked & crispy patties, all while the DJ keeps the energy high. Their menu cuts straight to the point and is absolutely delicious. It’s basically the perfect pre-game spot that’ll have you fed and hyped!

halu!’s Order: Double Manara Burger + Tech Noir Cocktail. Hits the spot.

Laziza: Arabic Street Food Done Right

New to Agias Sofias Street and conveniently next to our very own White Lotus, Laziza is already showing everyone how Arabic street food should be done. Their secret? Fresh and fluffy pita bread stuffed with tender beef schwarma spiced to perfection or their crispy falafel—arguably the best in town. Every bite here is a celebration of simplicity and quality, from the smoky hummus to the zesty pickled veggies.

halu!’s Order: Beef schwarma sandwich, falafel plate, and extra pita—always extra pita!
