Hatzis
In operation since 1908, when Thessaloniki was still an Ottoman city, this local legend brings the tastes of old Constantinople to you. After Hatzis, you'll never ask for a simple 'baklava' again.
The veritable symphony of sweets served at Hatzis includes vezir parmak (politika syrup cake with cream filling), hanoum bourek (hand-made pastry with raisins, peanuts and cream) and a dish of malempi mastiha (cream from milk and rice porridge, flavoured with mastiha from Chios and served with rose syrup).

Ouzou Melathron
Just from the sight of the scroll-like menu at this very popular sidestreet ouzerie, you know you're in for something special. Occupy yourself with ouzo and mezedhes, then dig into heartier fare like lamb in sweet wine sauce.

Myrsini
Myrsini serves up hearty portions of authentic Cretan dishes for Thessasloniki's boisterous young hedonists. The food is delicious and healthy, from rusks topped with tomato, Cretan olive oil and soft cheese (dakos) and flavourful wild greens (horta) to roast rabbit, pork and - crucially - mizithropitakia (flaky filo triangles with sweet mizithra cheese).
Décor is simple, with worn wood floors and traditional accoutrements. Violin and bouzouki music from Greece's best island plays on in the background.

Molyvos
This place has a lovely refined setting and elevates Greek cuisine to fine dining; nearby Molyvos Ethnik (2310 555 952), located on the corner of Ionos Dragoumi and Papadopoulou is its freewheeling companion eatery, with a smooth interior of high ceilings and polished mirrors, imaginative almost-fusion cuisine and Latin music.

Dore Zythos
Grab a table outside when the weather's warm and watch the White Tower across the way while savouring imaginative Mediterranean cuisine. Sister establishment Zythos in Ladadika has great architecture and equally fine food.

Krikelas
The iconic Krikelas offers a superlative, refined dining experience for gastronomes, with dishes ranging from wild game to Cretan snails and other local Greek specialities. The wine list is of course deep.

To Etsi
This bawdily decorated, iconic eatery near the White Tower offers refreshingly light souvlaki and soutzoukakia with vegetable dips, in Cypriot-style pita bread. Look for the neon sign out front.

Miami
This seaside fish taverna east of the centre is preferred by the Greek jet set, but regular folks also confirm it's got some of the best fish in town. Take a taxi.

Draft
Near to Krikelas, this three-level brick-and-wood restaurant and pub has a classic feel, with its vintage jukebox, well-shone rails and long bar with many draught beers. It serves designer pub fare like you'd expect in some big-city financial district lunch spot. Upstairs, however, cultivates a more after-hours lounge-bar effect, with dimmed lights and ambient Latin and jazz.
