Balkonaki

the tavern by the sea

Welcome to our tavern, a culinary spot in the heart of Thessaloniki, where tradition meets modern gastronomy. Located at 57 Nikis Avenue since 2009, we offer a unique entertainment and dining experience.

Our “balkonaki” (small balkony) is the ideal destination for those looking for an atmosphere that combines the refined enjoyment of food with the enchanting view of the sunset. In our tavern you will enjoy authentic Greek cuisine with high-quality materials and a sophisticated selection of fresh fish, seafood, meat and pasta.

In addition, the two floors of our tavern are ideal for hosting any event you wish. With a capacity of up to 100 people upstairs and 60 people downstairs, we are always ready to host your special moments in style and comfort.

Our motto, «Άλλωστε, το ουζάκι θέλει μεζεδάκι και θέα από το μπαλκονάκι» (“Alloste, to ouzaki thelei mezedaki kai thea apo to balkonaki”, meaning “After all, a meze and some nice view from the balcony is what you need with your ouzo”), really captures what we consider a complete food experience. Come and discover the authentic taste of Greece in a place that combines the warmth of tradition with the freshness of modern cuisine.

We are waiting for you to share the joy of some good company and of excellent taste.

After all, ouzo needs a snack and a view of the sea from the balcony

"Excellent food, fast and very pleasant staff. For first class seafood I have spent half less than in any other country in Northern Europe. Would love to come back here. And I will."
