👍👍 Really amazing. Greek salad 10/10. Fried zucchini chips 10/10 & the dolma (rice wrapped in vine leaves) another 10/10. Lovely ambience. Like something you’d see Anthony Bourdain go to for an authentic local experience.

    Delicious food at this restaurant in Thessaloniki, perfect if you want to share & try many different meals! We had 5 typical greek dishes for a surprisingly low bill of ¬25 euro. Highly recommend when visitng Thessaloniki.

    Best place we eat in Thessaloniki. The food was surprisingly excellent, fresh and delicious . The restaurant is located in a young and vibrant part of Thessaloniki. Go and try, don't miss the experience.

    Very nice location. Very friendly service. Had some good dishes, but they should stop using that much salt over everything.

    A favorite choice if you can find a table. Many tasty plates, well prepared and at reasonable pricing. It seems many people share the same opinion, since it is almost always full!

    Excellent place! I was quite amazed with the variety of vegan alternatives in a “meat” heavy city. Lovely staff as well, and despite the high amount of guests who were dining when I was there, still amical and friendly. Highly recommended for Vegans and vegetarians.

  • 5/5 Michele C. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely recommended. The staff spoke good English and they offer all their menu in a normal and a vegan version, with vegan tsatsiki and vegan cheese too. I have tried the Portobello mushrooms shawarma and it was very good. Also the tsatsiki is recommended. One of my tablemates tried the cheese with cherries and it was superb. Water is free, they were very kind. The tables outside are a bit uncomfortable, but overall we could manage it. Prices are very very low.

    Great food, service and atmosphere. 100% recommended of you want small dishes like meze or tapas. Not recommended if you are looking for fish or seafood. Price was really good! I ordered 4 dishes for 2 people and it was around 10€ per person.

    We had an amazing lunch at Kourmpeti taverna with a group of friends! We ordered a variety of dishes including grilled feta, various sausages, meatballs, ntakos, and pomme frites, and everything was delicious. The portions were generous and we were all satisfied with our meals. The service at Kourmpeti was excellent - our food arrived quickly and our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with a beautiful interior that added to our dining experience. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Kourmpeti and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, fast and friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Thank you, Kourmpeti, for an unforgettable lunch!

    We were recommended this place by a local shop owner and we are so happy we tried it! Ended up coming here on our last two nights in Greece and I can't wait to come back. First off it's the most gorgeous little restaurant with a big outside area (with a quiet road going through it) and the staff were so attentive, kind and lovely even though they were really busy both nights. Now the food is incredible! Even as vegetarians we had so much choice although the cheese toasted in sesame was our absolute favourite (recommended by Yanus from the staff!) We had about 12 different small dishes between the two nights and couldn't fault any of them. Plus the beer and wine were delicious too. This also ended up being one of our cheapest holiday meals so we 100% recommend and lots of love to Yanus and all the staff - hopefully see you soon!

    A small place right at the corner with mostly students as customers. The seating a bit uncomfortable, we just sat on a wooden plank with a rug on it. The whole atmosphere is nice, the music complimening the style of the taverna. Service was OK, they brought the dishes really fast but we did have a problem to get the attention of the waiters to order. Food was tasty, they say they have the best liver. There are a few vegan options but not for a main dish.

    Whenever I go to the Ladadika area I usually go to this taverna, it has a nice atmosphere, tasty dishes, but nothing special and normal prices. It's usually full so you might not find an available table if you go on the weekend. It's not the most authentic place for tsipouro, I think it has a more modern touch, overall it's worth a visit, I really like it.

  • 5/5 Pella Christina P. 4 years ago on Google
    Didn’t had time to take photos as we made one order and then a second one and then a third one! Absolutely amazing! Everything was really tasteful especially the caramelized bacon steak which we ordered it 2 times! The service was really good and fast and the staff kind and friendly.

  • 5/5 Milos D. 1 year ago on Google
    We were here few years ago and glad we found this place again. Small place not targeting tourists and it has very tasty food and good prices. Will be coming back for sure.

  • 5/5 Sophia P. 2 years ago on Google
    the service was pretty good and the food was just delicious. the salad was very refreshing and the meat was fresh and nicely cooked. I will surely visit again

  • 4/5 María paula arciniegas c. 1 year ago on Google
    Great recommendation from a local, the food was really tasty and every plate looked great. Will love to give a 4,5 starts but there's only 4 stars option, as the service could improve and be way more friendly.

  • 5/5 Kristina's T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! The food was absolutely delicious and Kostas, the owner was so welcoming to us! We ordered the Zucchini chips, beetroot salad and anchovies with 500ml of dry red wine and 😍🤤 what a wonderful experience! A true highlight while exploring Thessaloniki.

    Great, friendly service and a nice selection of traditional delicacies incorporated into the menu.

    The Vegan menu is super delicious! The owner and the stuff are very nice and friendly. We definitely recommend it and we will come here again!

  • 5/5 Lori M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible food at incredible prices. This place is always full and with good reason.

  • 4/5 sakis k. 2 years ago on Google
    Kourmpeti is located at Ladadika district in Thessaloniki. You can enjoy drinking but it has also kitchen if you want to taste something delicious. It has outdoor seating while the service was fast and kind.

  • 1/5 M H. 2 years ago on Google
    Awful food. The bread in the Dakos salad was old and hard, the grilled Talagani cheese tough as leather, and the pan-fried chicken completely inedible: like the parts you would give to the dogs, with massive chunks of fat and a weird taste concealed with lots spices and salt. Only the kofte meatballs were decent. While several innovative dishes on the menu create the impression of a modern tavern, our dinner at The Kourmpeti was one of the worst we've ever had, both in and outside of Greece.

👍👍 Possibly one of the best restaurants I've been to around Europe. This is couple of traditional Greek traditional dishes at its best, especially if you're avoiding meat.

👍 Good burgers & beer, great fries. We tried the Boss Burger and Jalapeños Burger and were pleased with both. The Jalapeños Burger had a nice kick, I would ask for extra jalapeños if I were to order it again. My burger had maybe 5-6 pickled jalapeños on it, which is probably plenty for most but I lik...
