Mourgá

Top choice in Thessaloniki


Elegant and relaxed, yet serious about everything that issues from its open kitchen, Mourgá is everything that's delightful about Greek food, Thessaloniki style. The grilled catch of the day is always excellent, while the raw anchovies with Cretan rusk and pickles is a stunning combination. While local producers are a focus, you can try cheeses and wines from across the country.
