Charoupi

It was a Cretan restaurant. We had ouzo and ordered two starters, one main course, and one salad. The small tomato salad served in mini tartlets was excellent. One of the starters was a dish with cured egg and truffle mushrooms — they suggested mixing it all together and eating it with bread. It was a very unique plate and tasted amazing, highly recommended. The butter served with the bread was also excellent. The salad was a lovely combination of cooked greens and cheese. For the main course, we had octopus — delicious. We enjoyed Cretan ouzo with the meal, and after dinner, they offered complimentary mini finger desserts and a small digestif. The staff were friendly and the service was great. Definitely worth trying.

Cretan based elevated greek cuisine of amazing quality. First of all, all servers were smiling, kind and very helpful with knowledge and opinion of the food. The first dishes/starters were all magnificent. The dakos shot was extremely impressive as it has all flavour concentrated in two bites. We loved the apaki carpaccio, the soft eggs and the gamopilafo that had a rich meat and buttery flavour. Even the bread was fresh and delightful! Unique flavours, that have been created with a lot of effort and love, without missing any originality of the Cretan cuisine. The ravioli felt more like a starter to us, however they had a fresh cool flavour. Portions and prices are as expected for a place like this. We had a lovely experience. There is also an option on the menu for a gastronomic tasting!

We had a terrific dinner. The stuffed grape leaves were delicate and the Hot greens salad with cheese was delicious. The wedding risotto was a real surprise - the lamb meat and rice melted in the mouth. The speciality desert - pastry filled with creme is worth the wait. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

The tasting menu was beautifully curated, balancing traditional Cretan and Macedonian influences with modern presentation. Each course was made from local ingredients including the wedding risotto with lamb. A bit pricey but worth to try. The music is a bit loud in the restaurant.

Easily my favourite meal in Thessaloniki! Exceptionally kind staff, delicious food, generous portions—I enjoyed the tasting menu over 5 hours. It was that good and meant to be savoured. Go—you won’t regret it. Eucharisto for everything! ❤️
