    Best of the best, just try it, nothing to add, nothing to say, speechless. A little gem by the plateia emporium. Every single time I visit I leave full, full of everything, amazing food amazing taste, excellent quality, full of flavour, I really feel I do not have the words to describe it. Try the whole menu. Highly recommended, if you visit Thessaloniki then you owe it to yourself to taste perfection. Visit Finokio

    Superb! A great restaurant serving modern Greek gourmet cuisine in the center of Thessaloniki (look for it in Google maps. The two salads standing out from the menu, the Finokio one and the Fig & Pomegranate salads are out of this world! Risotto with mashrooms and Parmesan flakes stand out for the refine taste. The 700 gr pork chop with fries is cooked to perfection, presented in style and it is enough for two. The establishment operates as wine bar as well. Prices are reasonable for a place of this level. Recommended without a doubt.

    We were hungry late at the evening and walked by this beautiful place at the corner. We ordered a very delicious cocktail (Brumbler) and different dishes as appetizer. Sauteed mushrooms with greek cheese. Greek cheese grilled in sesame and black caraway and in honey marinated cherry tomatos. It was like heaven. So so so fine and delicious. The main dishes were also tasty. But personally i could have eaten this cheese and the mushrooms. The place was not overly crowded. Very relaxed and with great staff. Nice mixture of people and music (sometimes greek, sometimes more jazzy). Also the owner was very friendly and asked if everything was ok. I would totally recommend this place just for the grilled cheese. But it is also very nice just to sit outside in a hot summernight and enjoy.

    The overall experience is nice, the only downside is the service… unfortunately too slow and not attentive. We waited 10 minutes to get the menus… and then a lifetime until the mains came. The mains were also brought 7 minutes apart… so my food was cold by the time my boyfriend’s plate hit the table. Food is good, but unfortunately not good enough to make me go again.

    FINOKIO meze bar is truly a gem in our city! The ambience is absolutely charming and the food is an exquisite combination of traditional and innovative. The staff is incredibly friendly, with a special shoutout to the knowledgeable and attentive bartender, who made our evening even more enjoyable. Their extensive selection of drinks paired perfectly with the delicious meze on offer. Highly recommend for a memorable evening!

    Excellent place in the heart of the town. I recommend the babay mashed potatoes and the 650gr porkn stake. The hospitality was really nice. Just a little tip for the restaurant, it will be nice if you inform the client that you dont serve sweet at the end unless you ordered it. Doesn't foreshadowed the great food but it helps to make a reference. Congratulations for your work.

    First time there with a group of 5. The place is pretty and there was plenty of shade. Considering the noon sun, that was very welcoming. We ordered seafood, tempura shrimp and seafood risotto were the best. Unfortunately, the portions were rather small and my roast squid was a bit raw. Other than that, the service was good and the waiters very friendly.

    Great outdoor resturant with a good menu selection. We ate outside for lunch but the inside the restaurant looked very fun and like a good place to go for an evening meal as well.

  • 5/5 Rumyana K. 4 months ago on Google
    Great service and food! The staff is polite and smiling and doing their best to make you feel good. The food was delicious and served quickly. Already in my favorite places in Thessaloniki!

    Delicious food, with well executed flavor combinations that one doesn't meet often. Super kind staff, and beautiful setting. Minus 1 star, because the location itself might not be the best, but that's not their fault.

  • 5/5 L M. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience at Finokio all around. The most tentative and friendly waiters, good food in good portions, fun atmosphere outside with lots of people, nice music and decorated surroundings. Whole heartedly recommended.

  • 4/5 Cha D. 10 months ago on Google
    Setting is really cute, the menu is wide with both traditional and more creative options. They offered us some dips which was nice. Food was good and service was very kind!

  • 2/5 Para G. 10 months ago on Google
    The portions of the dishes we ordered were relatively small and that they don't offer desserts at the end like other restaurants do. Zucchini were salty and accompanied with tiny tzatziki. I think this place is expensive- about 25€ pro Person. The food is not bad, but nothing special. The location is nice. If someone orders dessert as well, the price would be by 30+ €.

  • 2/5 Adina C. 9 months ago on Google
    The service and staff are great. However the food is very mediocre. I had the octopus, zuchinii and French fries and they were very disappointing, the octopus especially was too fried, hard, and quite tasteless.

  • 4/5 CIGDEM A. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our meal for dinner. The food was quite tasty only for the zucchini was too salty and the chachiki was a very tiny portion next to it. Had meze generally. Didn’t have dessert. Could come here again.

    Good. Quality, price. Service is good. Less 1 point... Please 2 euro for 2 bread... A bit too much. Otherwise I recommend. Cocktails are good !!

  • 2/5 Sotiris Apostolou (. 2 years ago on Google
    When you read the latest reviews you can't believe about the delay... ok... so...50 minutes delay for each plate. Staff doesn't care. Food not to bad at all. Not a good experience at all.

  • 1/5 Yannis K. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately, it did not live up to its reputation. The food was very very disappointing. The salad was awkwardly and unnecessarily sweet, the beef kebab was very chewy and tasteless. Only decent dish was the meatballs and mushroom risotto. The portions were super small. Too bad for the service because they were very nice and they really put an effort to make as feel comfortable.

    Tasty food, decent prices, friendly staff!

    You can find some delicious dishes and some that are ok. The music is not my favourite but that's personal preference.

😐 Popular Thessaloniki restaurant. Beautiful place, unique view over Thessaloniki bay. Service and food unfortunately doesn't match the first impression. The food was lovely presented, but the taste was rather average. Service personnel not very attentive or not well trained. Who knows. Still, I keep...

🫤 This visit was in middle of August, but still: no soap in bathrooms, I almost slip due to the (very) wet floor of the bar, the beer was poorly drawn (6€ is a fair price for a craft beer, but come on), the CO2 machine needs to be checked once in a while. The place is beautiful tough and the service...
