In the center of Thessaloniki, on the corner of Agia Sofias Street and the coastal Nikis Avenue, where the pulse of the city beats, a historic building with timeless elegance hosts Garçon Brasserie — a space that combines gastronomy with aesthetics, in a setting reminiscent of a European metropolis.
The cuisine, the result of the creative imagination of executive chef Panagiotis Delithanasis and his team, is a true ode to Greek and international flavors. With fresh ingredients and special combinations, each dish is created not only to satisfy the palate, but also to offer a complete experience, with a unique view of the Thermaikos Gulf in the background.
The brunch menu surprises with options such as scrambled eggs with handmade Thessaloniki round bread roll and village sausage, potatoes and feta cheese. The delicious strapatsada with fresh sourdough bread satisfies even the most demanding guests, but the smoked salmon with brioche bread, chives and basil herring caviar wins the impressions. There is also no shortage of sweet versions such as pancakes with hazelnut praline, banana, oreo biscuit and vanilla ice cream, as well as the famous Thessaloniki bougatsa in a sweet or savory version. Light, healthy options such as homemade granola with yogurt, fresh fruit and pomegranate syrup complete the breakfast scene.
As the sun sets, with the backdrop of the magnificent sunset, Garçon transforms into the ultimate spot for a delightful dinner. Some of the dishes we highlighted are the chorizo croquette with smoked Metsovo cheese and yellow pumpkin cream, the pasta with fresh truffle, the grilled octopus with tarama, pickled onion and carob, as well as the duck fillet with orange sauce and parsnip puree. Slow-cooked dishes, such as the pork belly, with mashed potatoes and thyme sauce and the lamb shank cooked in a tajine with bulgur and dried fruit or the Rib-Eye Black Angus with béarnaise sauce, meet creative salads with tuna, green beans, potatoes, egg, olives, cherry tomatoes and capers — composing a gastronomic canvas that fascinates.
The desserts deserve a special mention, from the timeless chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream — to the refreshing pavlova with fresh fruit and strawberry sauce and the fluffy tiramisu, all come to complete the experience in the sweetest way.
With an excellent wine list and original cocktails, Garçon Brasserie is a meeting point for those looking for quality, taste and atmosphere — whether for a business lunch or for relaxed, all-day moments.
