“Mazu Bar Restaurant”, on Nikis Avenue, is proof that luxury and elegance are still honored in the gastronomic scene of Thessaloniki and, moreover, without “discounts” on affordable, all-day entertainment. Here, on 7 Nikis Avenue, where the strolls never stop and the perpetual movement of the sea travels with you, a place with a name with deep symbolism, gives substance to pleasure.
Like the homonymous Chinese deity of the sea, protector of sailors and travelers, “Mazu” takes care every day to offer protection, tranquility and taste to each of its visitors, through a highly aesthetic environment and a cuisine that marries Mediterranean tradition with the modern character of Thessaloniki.
All day elegance and relaxation
Between Aristotelous Square and the Port of Thessaloniki, “Mazu” invites you to live a unique experience! Combining different styles and a multicultural element, it appeals to people of all ages and with different tastes.
The Thermaikos Gulf stretches to the horizon, floating café-bars cross the Thermaikos, other small and large ships come and go, Olympus offers its image sometimes covered in snow, sometimes not, the shores of Pieria are faintly visible in the depths of the Gulf.
And you, enjoy all this from an impressive space, decorated with tropical plants and impressive chandeliers, emerald shades on the tables and chairs, with a timeless, charming style, which truly stands out both inside and outside, combining elegance and relaxation, at all hours of the day.
A delicious “cultural journey”
The philosophy of “Mazu” is based on the concept of a “cultural journey”: a delicious journey to the shores of the Mediterranean, with dishes that honor raw materials, culinary memory and Greek tradition.
In the morning, it invites its guests for a hearty brunch with eggs in every version, healthy bowls, savory pancakes and delicious egg rolls with tsoureki, while in the afternoons and evenings it transforms into a full bar-restaurant, where its signature cocktails, such as the “Naked Star” and the “The Gin Tonic you Want”, are uniquely combined with authentic Mediterranean gastronomy.
The renewed “Mediterranean” menu of “Mazu”, includes selected cuts of meat, fresh fish of the day and excellent creations, such as seafood risotto for two, sushi with a modern twist, refreshing salads – such as the one with cherry tomatoes or with fungi – and of course, impressive desserts.
Ideal for the sweet end of a meal is tiramisu, which here is even available as a signature cocktail – the “Drink your Tiramisù” – a truly unique taste!
Intimate and live music
Since this winter, “Mazu” has also established musical evenings, every Friday and Saturday, which have already been loved by regular patrons. With DJ music as a background, Ioanna Karanika sings and wanders between the tables, performing favorite foreign and Greek songs and creating an almost theatrical atmosphere – elegant, intimate and lively, which is completely consistent with the style of the restaurant. The rest of the week moves in lounge & artistic rhythms, by the DJs of “Mazu”, each of whom puts their own touch on the space, creating a unique experience every night.
“Mazu” is a living organism in the gastronomic scene of Nikis Avenue, an ode to the culture of taste and hospitality. Whether for brunch, a dinner with friends or a romantic evening with the Thermaikos Gulf as a backdrop, “Mazu Bar Restaurant” promises to make you come back again and again.
