Since 2003, Kitchen Bar, located at Warehouse B of Thessaloniki’s Port, has been an iconic destination and a place nearly everyone has visited at least once. Even when visiting the port area for a stroll, it’s hard to resist enjoying a flavorful coffee with a view of the sea, seagulls, and the boats of Thermaikos.
A unique spot in the entire port where gastronomy meets history, where the view blends with the experience, and quality remains a steady philosophy. This all-day restaurant, café, and bar — home to Greece’s first open kitchen — continues to be an innovation that changed the local dining scene and set new standards.
Kitchen Bar is where the industrial architecture and the historical essence of the port are brought back to life daily. A beloved and highly recognizable meeting point, it steadily writes its own story, leaving an indelible mark on the city’s culinary map — all without fanfare.
Carefully curated, signature & abundant flavors
At the heart of the operation is Chef Michalis Faneromenos, the man behind every dish and the overall kitchen concept since day one. For 22 years, he has led the culinary team with a focus on vertical production — everything, from the bread to the desserts and ice creams, is homemade.
The casual international menu blends flavors from America, the Mediterranean, and Asia, making the Kitchen Bar’s offerings a true daily taste journey. The team’s passion for innovation leads them to develop unique creations that often become… trends!
Abundant savory and sweet brunch options (served between 09:30 and 18:00), a wide variety of appetizers and main courses, outstanding seafood dishes, select meats, and fresh, cooling salads offer a rich range of choices.
Highlights include the classic Greek Salad, the Avocado Delight Salad, the flavorful Tikka Masala Chicken, the Santorini-style octopus, and the Black Angus Tomahawk steak — all waiting to be savored.
The menu also features hearty burgers, well-prepared pastas and risottos, tempting pizzas, and Asian-inspired dishes that have made a name for themselves at the restaurant’s tables.
A true point of interest is the dessert display case, a real temptation that invites you to end your meal on a sweet note. The cheesecake and the Pavlova at Kitchen Bar will absolutely delight your taste buds!
A wine cellar for all hours of the day
The wine cellar at Kitchen Bar deserves its own spotlight: a curated list featuring wines from both Greek and international vineyards, balanced and extensive, offering you many options to pair with any meal.
Similarly, Kitchen Bar’s signature cocktails stand out and have become local favorites. From the Cinnamon Batida with passion fruit, cinnamon, and fresh cachaça, and the Strawberry Velvet with vodka, vanilla, strawberries, and pink soda, to the Mango Mule with vodka, lime juice, sugar syrup, mango, and ginger beer — the cocktail menu evolves with the seasons and available ingredients. Expect tropical notes in summer and winter flavors reminiscent of traditional Greek desserts like melomakarono. Every season brings delightful surprises for your palate.
Every space a culinary experience
Each area of Kitchen Bar offers a different experience — and it’s no coincidence that throughout the years, they’ve been presented in various atmospheres.
Downstairs, inside and outside, the main restaurant area offers numerous seating options for you to choose what suits you best. Always bustling and lively, this space has served as the “gateway” to the Kitchen Bar project for over two decades — a place with the best view for your meal, coffee, or drink, any time of year.
Upstairs, the Upper Floor functions as an all-day café-bar with a breathtaking sea view. During winter, the fireplace adds warmth and coziness, creating the perfect spot to relax. On the same level, Coucou is now Kitchen Bar’s nightclub, with high energy, a distinct night vibe, and music that sets it apart from the rest of the venue — offering surprises nightly!
Whether during a festival or not, rain or shine, for special occasions or casual outings, for a coffee break or a lovely meal, or even a final drink of the night, this special place is always ready to welcome you right next to the sea — with impeccable service and flavors that never disappoint.
Kitchen Bar continues to write its own story, staying true to the philosophy that made it a staple: consistency in quality and a passion for gastronomy.
