Affordable food but food of quality Not just barbi ingredients —perfect chicken pieces cooked to perfection truly delicious truly impressive Now let's try the chicken bacon chicken bacon with yellow rice Let's try the food first Delicious and dear a bit cold rich flavorful The rice is slightly aromatic light This is definitely a bit heavy Rice and chicken together— it's definitely a feeling Let me squeeze in a little lemon about food The lemon is lovely because it cuts through the chicken's saltiness and some of the richness from the fat In truth I can still take chicken pancetta Too excessive The menu at this place is very simple You can order chicken chicken chicken bacon rice some greens It's very simple Chicken bacon is quick It's a truly friendly service beautiful atmosphere

too Today was fantastic We're falling in love The city is amazing the people are lovely and tomorrow will be wonderful So See you tomorrow morning Good morning everyone This is the second day here in Thessaloniki and today is a big day We start with the Bugazza La Bugazza Iannis is a legendary spot here in Thessaloniki and I believe we're not the only ones who' ve had the idea I came here this morning Look I still don't know whether they're open or not but the line look over there is twenty meters long It's amazing Okay I think I'll get back on track See you soon I bought some hot water I bought some yeast We just placed an order We ordered three Bugazza bottle caps Since it's quite far away we'll go pick up one cap He's doing it right in front of the water We also have some coffee This place is a machine Guys we've ordered a cap We have arrived at the White Tower the symbol of Thessaloniki This beautiful park facing the water is stunning Crowded with people it's sunny beautiful Why didn' t we put the Bugazza there Because he was very busy A bit dark inside So let's say you know what Let's go eat by the water We ordered Three different types of Bugazza We have two flavors—spinach which is a type of Bugazza we haven't introduced yet spinach And maybe a bit of cheese We ordered the one with cheese obviously a classic My goodness I'm calling my own name And then the dessert—cream on top a little sugar a sprinkle of cinnamon And of course a couple of cold espressos It's the perfect companion Now this place as I said earlier is legendary iconic They're famous for making fresh pasta every single day They keep making the Bugazza so there's such high demand that they continue making the Bugazza They're very close friends A very friendly service Now let's give it a try Let's start with the spinach one Oh nice Look it's pure spinach The thread is incredibly light No no it's pure spinach—there 's no cheese in the sauce It's very fresh You can really taste how fresh and sweet it is and it's still warm Now let 's go for the one with cheese This is what we all know You can see the cheese in the sauce Let's go with that Enjoy your meal Okay this is better This is the place My goodness delicious salty Oh there's a lot of cheese in the sauce This is my favorite The perfect bath first thing when you wake up Oh I need to get another one Careful It's very additional And look at the view look where we are Thessaloniki is a truly wonderful city rich in history filled with monuments and beautiful people Family-oriented very cozy absolutely beautiful Now let's try the dessert— cheese a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and sugar This is the beloved one Everyone has desired him Mamma mia Oh attention Okay the one with cheese ladies and gentlemen is something else So let's go with the cheese which suits my taste perfectly is okay Then there's the cheese truly delicious And this is on another level entirely So you have the cream sweet spicy very elegant delicate pastille I like that they didn't put so much sugar and cinnamon because sometimes It's covered and you can't really taste the cream Okay this is my go-to If I were to return to Bugazzaiani I'm sure I would have taken this Almost forgot I already had a coffee Ah beautiful Oh my God give me one What a fight What do you think My goodness This is the breakfast of champions here in Thessaloniki For the handful of us we've come to another institution here in Thessaloniki Diagonios open since 1977 probably serving Some of the city's best suzzukaki meaty potatoes We went live for about 45 minutes love Oh it' s really busy We placed an order we've already A couple of appetizers we’ve got a local coffee we’re waiting on the meatballs and oh we’re starving Alright guys our food is here The meatballs have arrived We have beef meatballs Suzzukaki Ben we took seven of these made with meat We've got a nice addition of cherry wood chunks This is a meat potato dish called Melitsano Salata We have their signature version which shares the same name as the restaurant Diagonio with milk feta cheese butter oil tomato and cheese Oh my God I've already forgotten Kefalotiri So grated almost like at Lummi Nice We have a beer and now let's move on to the cheese Extremely hard I've already left it there for a few minutes of course because Wait we're filming it's always like this Let's add some lemon Oh yes It's like a Lummi It's tough It doesn't have a strong salty taste—it needs to be tasted quite a bit and it's similar to a Lummi And with the lemon wow it cuts through the saltiness Oh now I can't wait to try this This is one of my favorites one of my favorite dishes of all time completely covered in olive oil Oh mamma mia Garlicky a touch smoky almost a bit spicy This is so good There 's the lingering aroma Mamma mia mamma mia this is in my back right here in my back This is illegal Illegal Mamma mia Super good Slimy You have bits of orange you can really feel them Now let's go for the star Suzukaki Let's take a shoulder of meat Nice Dita We'd wanted to come to this restaurant for a long time a couple of years now The moment of truth has arrived Bon appétit Oh Oh my God Mama mia so creamySmoky unbelievable Love Hey guys No illegal They' really really tasty I'm being foolish This is crazy Oh the chili flake is spacious really yes it's spacious I'm not used to the chili anymore We've drifted apart Asia a bit tough Finding a kilo in Greece is nearly impossible But oh my God the quality of the food is Not bad at all These are the best foods I've eaten at least in Greece In general over a long period 10 out of 10 category illegal Let's try their salty version too We have feta cheese glass extremely healthy Oh the tomatoes Dio blesses the tomatoes Wow the glass is sturdy We're flying we' re flying the food is fantastic everything about this restaurant is beautiful as soon as you walk in it's like stepping into Back behind the city It's a museum Wow and the grill right behind the square So you can smell the aroma In the air you've got Iro Yes they're truly famous for their grilled meat especially the Suzukakia the Iro We are Very close to the Rotunda one of the main attractions here A truly beautiful area a city that's truly truly beautiful Highly recommended and underestimated We've just finished our filling We' re absolutely exhausted but incredibly satisfied Oh this place is 100% Recommended It's 4:30 and look well you can't see it from here believe me there are ten people ahead of you in line Just a piece of advice If you want to come here If you see people online go to the entrance and unlock your name and stay in the area because otherwise You won't get any table The city is fantastic the service is even better Despite the fact that they were extremely busy They quickly took us into the kitchen to see where they were grilling the meat showing us the iro Absolutely beautiful so beautiful an elegant restaurant My goodness a war experience You're cutting this Yes two pieces out there Ah my goodness so excited Here we go our little pill So first of all we came here to try Galaktobureko which is a must-try in Thessaloniki and this place right here It's the space But what is Galaktobureko It's a pastry a filo pastry entirely filled with semolina and chestnut We also have another dessert They make baklava all kinds of phyllo cakes kataifi and they prepare them fresh The custard was completely full and this is exactly why everyone comes to this place—Galaktobureko Look at this This is the amount semolina and chestnut inside It's a thick layer It's basically 95% of the cake I want to do it politely but this is the only way I can do it Oh that 's really expensive Bon appétit My goodness No Oh my goodness I made a rich dense sweet chestnut puree and of course you can taste it—the chestnut is very elegant and almost grainy He's incredibly wealthy so you wouldn't have him at home Sure but the cake—those layers here are super crispy Mama mia look at this I need a spoon Pear with coffee I love the cake because it's incredibly light flexible and crunchy And the cream is elegant even though it's incredibly heavy Now we have another one to try Kataifi Another dessert Oh my goodness Keep this one Another famous sweet with nuts in the center Yes this one is also fully soaked in syrup but it's trickier to handle So let's give it a try Oh the syrup It's in the middle heavy and cooling because it's cold Oh my God it's very sweet Mamma mia the walnuts This is good but you can't just eat them alone You need to taste them with something a child At least one coffee or tea In any case this place is legendary These nuts and sweets in general must be tried If you're in Thessaloniki stop by — it's a family-run shop since 1968 making sweets and all kinds of pastries Right behind us We could see the oven and the master was doing it so it's a super cool spot Guys for the Grand Finale we came for the cat of all the young ones The Radicchis This place has been our favorite Since we arrived in Thessaloniki there have been five massive ones— chicken and pork My goodness they're so huge especially the last one I think this is new Oh and this is what we picked up Thank you so much Wow This is the hero we just acquired Thank you so much Pork with fruit inside I think it's tzatziki pomodoro and mustard Wow this is unique I've never seen it like this before It's quite impressive Even a single portion is larger It's regular just like the ones you find in Athens or anywhere else This place is incredible It's in a nearby neighborhood We're in the Tumba area around the PAOK Stadium I wanted to wrap up the video here because this feels like home This place is absolutely electric There' sshawarma steak burger and of course my hero As soon as you step in you see this huge massive slab of hero You have to talk Every time I see him I'm stunned Look at this beauty How can you not love the hero Come on This is Greek road At its best Now there's no polite way to eat it because it's so heavily stuffed and they poke a hole in it Look at that Nice Freddo foro Marinato freddo grasso Let me grab a slice with the mustard That’s a nice touch I've never seen anyone put mustard on this Enjoy your meal That's a lovely touch Sharp sweet The meat is exquisite incredibly tender I'm so excited to be here I came here earlier and said the hero is fantastic I really want to photograph him because I think anyone who comes here Thessaloniki is a must-visit destination and you must try the kebab Look at how packed and juicy it is Plenty of fries but even more meat No problem he's just a messenger but this is the best way to eat Oh bon appétit The greatest hero Oh the greatest hero I' ve ever had It's wonderful wonderful It's all about the meat There's all the meat If it doesn't become a mess It's not good Pure rubbish I'll say it again—that's the best hero I've ever had What a place Amazing food This place opens every day every single day and closes in the morning at 4:05 a m What a machine And what we've seen is that as soon as one of the heroes finishes they transform him Right away Damn What a place Guys We've wrapped up our video here in Corsalonichi And we finished in style with a local hero and I have to say it was incredibly satisfying I have to say that this city truly surprised us Extremely livable stunningly beautiful very lively so many attractive women I feel like we've just arrived scratched the surface I think we should go back So let me know in the comments below the places we need to visit because 100% back to Corsalonichi So thanks so much for watching Paristopoli and we'll see you next time Bye
