@Ilija Stojanoski You're just an uneducated nationalist. Macedonia is Greek,you have your own country,your own language and your own culture,focus on that and raise your country.
Macedonia is a Greek province, located in Northern Greece. It has always been Greek and the way to distinguish it is that Macedonians spoke Greek, worshiped Greek gods and considered themselves to be greek. Everything else is just a desperate attempt to forge history and claim it due to Slavic people’s lack of own history and identity. STOP STEALING OUR HISTORY AND IDENTITY

This is a very good presentation of Thessaloniki's street food. The pie is indeed Spanakopita, the Gyros cost 7€ because it was a portion, while a wrap costs up to 3€. The desert "trigona Panoramatos" translates as 'triangles from Panorama', Panorama being a suburb with a panoramic view of the city.
@@eleniasimop also in south Italy there are wonderful beaches...Puglia, Sardegna, Sicily and Ischia ... go and see! About the food no one can beat us..
when I'm drunk in Thessaloniki, and it's not winter time to go for a patsa (meat soup) which helps with hangover, I buy 4:06 coulouri from local bakeries. Bakeries get coulouri right off the oven at around 5 , 5:30 in the morning. So imagine a hot coulouri on my left hand, and a cold feta cheese on my right. I love this combination. Tastes of Thessaloniki
I'm so glad you enjoyed the food in my city! I love to see Thessaloniki get some tourist love! Especially for our food scene which is wonderful! To answer some of your questions and give some extra information: The spinach pie you were eating which you called a spanakopita (btw it's pronounced spanaKOpita and definitely not spanakoPIta haha) is of course also just called that in Greek (written σπανακόπιτα). That category of "pies" are colectively just called Pitas (just like the bread which, I know, is confusing to foreigners). So a spanakopita is just a spanaki(spinach) pita; if it had just cheese it would be a tiropita or a tiri (cheese) pita and so on. Koulouri bread that you compared to a Montreal bagel (which I totally agree is a great comparison) actually goes bad to ancient times in one form or another, but it's modern form and popularity do indeed come from when Greeks living in Anatolia (wester and norther Turkey) were forced to leave and migrate to Greece. It was a terrible time, but they did bring with them wonderful food and music that just different enough from other Greeks to create amazing blends of food and culture. Also, we don't ever butter them (butter isn't a big thing in Greece since we have olive oil). That kind of coulouri we usually just eat dry like that while we're drinking coffee in the morning. Especially when their still warm... It's the best! There is another version of the koulouri made a little differently with cheese inside of it which is also delicious. Also, not that you have any reason to know this, but the "phyllo" dough that you're pronouncing as FA-ee-low dough is actually pronounce FEE-low :) Anyway, cheers and I hope you had a wonderful trip!

Go to Terkenlis for tsoureki with chestnut and white chocolate! BTW why dont you visit the OTE tower for a coffee! You ll enjoy the view! Assuming you re still here in Thessaloniki of course!
Terkenlis has the worst service and the most overrated, overpriced food in Thessaloniki. I have chosen to boycott them for the rest of my life, and I recommend the same approach to anyone who loves excellent food and attentive service.

@@DelightfulTravellers Don't,Terkenlis has the worst quality, it's tasty but with the worst ingredients and the highest price. Also OTE tower is very expensive,if you want a cafeteria with great view you should go to Pasha's gardens close to the great walls of the city.
If you do not eat after five in the afternoon, absolutely nothing, and at the main meal getting up from the table a little hungry, you will lose 15 kg Once on a Saturday, I ate both in the afternoon and at parties with friends. Self-restraint and everything in proportion. In the afternoon if you are very hungry take some dry bread or biscuit. Not many drinks. Lots of salad with food. You will see the result in a few months. Monitor your weight twice a week. And you'll be okay.
Some tips from a greek person: The reason you did not get a wrap is because you asked for "gyro" which in greek refers to just the meat part (gyro means rotation or "around" in greek, therefore any meat cooked this way be it pork/chicken etc is called gyro) . If you want to get the wrap, then you will have to ask for a "pita gyro" which specifies that you are asking for the gyro wrap :) Also, if you want to get the classic filling (pita bread, pork, tzatziki, potatoes, tomato, onion) you can order a "pita gyro ap ola"--> literally means pita gyro with everything.
I don't know if you ever tried it, but next time you're in Greece and specifically, Thessaloniki, try Tsoureki with Chestnut from Terkenlis! It is the best thing ever!!!
Feta is wrapped in a thin layer of crust phyllo (yes the one used in the custard cones you ate, just salty) and fried in olive oil, or you can find it dipped in kourkouti (a mixture of plain wheat flour and water) and then fried, with the addition of sesame and honey.
14:10 Trigona Panoramatos, it means Triangles of Panorama, a suburb of Thessaloniki were this, was first made. The same shop has Tsoureki, a sweet bread, try the one with chessnut cream and white chocolate its really nice
Just discovered your channel today. I had a wonderful Greek vacation this summer that ended with a day in Thessaloniki before I flew to London and back home to the US. I wish I had spent more time in the city and loved your 2 videos on it, some spots I visited and some I didn't. I had the trigona dessert as well!
Well welcome aboard first off 🤗It's so great you found our channel. This city is great and get ready for a whole lot more on Greece for the next month or so - Anna
As for the greek pie in greece spinach is "spanaki" and in this dish, pie is "pita" so the dish is called "spanakopita" or sometimes "spanakotiropita" because it has feta cheese in it. You can find 1000 variations of this dish around greece as the thickness, the ingredients and the dough we use vary ,but mostly, it tastes like heaven and is sooo healthy
Glad you liked my birthplace! Thessaloniki has the biggest university of the country (Aristotle) with like 75k students, that's why cheap streed food thrives. Most foods are inspired from Asia Minor which was Greek for thousands of years and today is modern Turkey, population forced to move out of there because of the massacares (my grandparents too) and opened restaurants and shops here, this is why the city has an eastern-like orientation towards most foods. Sadly if you are vegan you don't have many choices, probably you would go for a Falafel or a pita with potatoes, although last years more vegan restaurants are opening here and shows some promise.
I'm from Rhodes greece and the last store you visit (terkenlis) we don't have it.. Every time I have a friend that is visiting Thessaloniki I order to bring me some tsoureki with chestnut and chocolate... I love that so much
I think that the most common thing one can notice in "Macedonia" Airport in Thessaloniki are the nylon bags from Terkenlis filled with tsourekia (brioche like sweet pastry) people take with them in the other parts of Greece :P
You guys are adorable, you made me miss my hometown. I love watching people enjoy it , you ate all my favourites. Thanks for taking me with you guys !! ♥️
So nice video!! I am from Thessaloniki and watching the video made me want to go out and eat! We have great food all over Greece but you have to know which restaurant or shop has the best. You seem to pick the good ones! For history, trIgona is a dessert that is made from a man called Elenidis from the region Panorama Thessalonikis. So the most known trigona in town are from Elenidis. But many other dessert shops have also good ones. You also have to visit the east part of the city, like Vaphopoulou street - Sofouli street - Marina of Krini region for a nice walk and food. ( Sorry for my English guys! )
Guys you’re amazing ..!!! I just found out about your channel and I’m obsessed...!!! Thessaloniki is amazing ( I leave here ) but they are sooo many beautiful cities to visit . You should definitely visit Meteora and Mount Olympus of couse ..!!! Love your work keep going 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
My sis lived in the Evosmos and Stavroupoli districts of Thessaloniki for over 25 years, and first on my hit list when I got there were the totally delicious gyros! I miss it there so much now.
@@DelightfulTravellers from 1900 till today Thessaloniki is a multicultural city. Greeks Jewish Armenian and Pontiacs lived harmonically here. All those bring here their love for food and trade and that is the main reason that will find nowhere in Greece food like that 😀
@@DelightfulTravellers The entire Greece has delicious dishes,but to be fair-even though i was born and live in Athens- the best food on earth belongs to Crete!!!!If you haven't visited that wonderful greek island in the southest part of Greece,then you know nothing about greek food,beauty of landscapes and hospitality....
Thank you so much guys for this amazing video! We still have some issues in town, especially with this subway construction.... I hope next time, if you come again, to enjoy the city more! Take care!
Theres a place called " elenidis" that makew THE BEST " little cones " as you refered to them . You should definitely go try them they are much much better than the ones from the place you got them
Thank you for making this video and for showing my city and all the delicious food we enjoy here. It is worth tasting it believe me. Really nice video.
You should try 0. Eat Peinirli as for breakfast. You can find them in almost all bakeries 1. Tsinari , during midday to try local alcohol called tsipouro with seafood meze 2. Try and buy the sweets called Revani (or Revani Veroias), also Galaktompoureko, the sweet bread called Tsoureki from Terkenlis and again the Trigono, but this time from the store called Elenidis. 3. A trip until Peraia Thessalonikis if the weather is good to sit next to the sea and eat fresh seafood (be aware that their English might not be good there) 4. Late during nightime in Bit Bazaar for cheap wine and later for a souvlaki or panseta in the Mama Teresa 5. You can also refer in your video on the cheap meals you can get as a student in the street called Melenikou close to the Universities, as Thessaloniki is a student town 6. Last but not least eat Crepe in Nauarinou street from Valentino. A salty Crepe with everything you might choose from the buffet over there. You will love it
Sorry man, but Giannis is one of the best bougatsa shops in the down town area for students that study here from other places in Greece,but if you ask the locals nobody eats from here. The best bougatsa shops are in the western side of the town e. g Bougatsa Panos and Georgos. You can even see the highest score they have amongst other shops in Thessaloniki if you do a Google search.
@@mkourouk locals also eat there,in the center maybe is the best. In the western side maybe panos and Giorgos are better but in the deep center Gianni's for me is the best,it's recommended to me by a local.
By the way the spanakopitta you ate is the village kind. (horiatiki) The pastry is homemade by aome giagia or granny and now it is sold in the supermarkets. They also make cheese pies in the same way with horiatiko filo. (village pastry). They all fall under the pie category which is quite extensive in greece and we love our pies, all sorts of them, village ones, twisted ones, crispy filo ones, round ones, with all our greek cheeses, feta, graviera, mizithra etc. or pies without filo, you name it we make it.
Just discovered your channel and love it! We've been adding so many things to our list of things to do in Greece when we get there next month based on your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
freddos in greece is a new thing for us the greeks too, its invented 6-7 or so years ago, we used to drink frappe ice coffee which was way less tasty and way less healthy, nice videos you do thank you for keeping us nice company
The best koulouri is sold by the older men selling on the streets. While visiting family I would get one almost everyday with a greek coffee. The spinach cheese pie was almost definitely spanakopita. The cheese version is called tiropita (tiri=cheese, pita=pie).
@lostintimeline no there's not. There is one near airport, and one to the other side, at the edge of town. In a city more that a million, there is no mc Donald's down town.
@lostintimeline Technically one of the mcdonalds is outside the city. Kind of. The other is in One Salonica Mall (top floor) which is definitely within the city limits. :p There used to be more of them. Same with KFC. Now there is only one KFC, outside the city.
9:32 Omg trigono i wish i had one. By the way trigono Panoramatos (from Panorama) is when you buy it fromPanorama village 12 kilometers south-west from Thessaloniki. Otherwise we call them just trigono.
Love this explore love the foods ,good describing that bagel pretzel combination it's a quick bite ,they have pies rapped in felo ,is how it's pronounced lol ,I have a dog named filo.love everything about this video ,having a great life in a paradise , bagatso is a pastry ,not sure about a after bar thing .but thanks for taking us with you ,it sure looks good from porch view.🍷to your fun and health. Nice job .
Pita is a Greek word for pie although I think we have very different definitions of what a pie is 😂 basically it's layers of fyllo dough with different kinds of fillings. The way we name any kind of pie is by combining the main ingredient with the word pie. Hence dishes like spanakopita (spinach pie), teeropita (cheese pie) etc.
you missed an opportunity to get tsoureki from that pastry shop at the end. they are well known for it. preferably with white chocolate glaze and sweet chestnut filling. the trigono should be crunchy and not chewy. was probably stale :P should have gotten to the source, panorama region of thessaloniki. the difference between doner and gyro is that the one is minced lamb meat, while the other is sheets of pork on top of each other. tzatziki also has garlic on top of all the rest. nice video btw :D
Thanks for making this video about Thessalonikis street food , mpougatsa is my favorite and i love it , sweet or not you can always eat it with cold cacao
Trigona Panoramatos means, Panorama (a suburb of Thessaloniki) triangles (cause of the shape) !! They are creamier than bougatsa because they make it with half cow and half buffalo milk !! The older days they used 100% Buffalo milk !! Terkenlis is popular for his variety of Tsoureki (sweet fluffy bread with vanilla, mastic,cardamom and almond taste and different chocolate or other sweet stuffings)!!!! Mmmmm!!!! 😃 By the way, awesome Greek food taste/review !!!
Great food choises. I know you've had a nice day because our food is excellent. I could give you a couple of suggestions .TRY tsoureki with chestnut only from Terkenlis = Τερκενλής. And if you visit Chalkidiki you definitely need to eat fried mussels and stuffed calamari. Take care guys.
Delightful Travellers Anna Greece is on my list. But seriously you and Trevor have opened my eyes to so many new places. I am not a fan of over crowded places so I love learning and seeing about new places and hidden gems from you guys
I prefer the mpougatsa from Ο Σερραίος opposite the Courthouse of Thessaloniki. Especially the cheese variety. Unfortunately not the most touristy place. Unlike most people commenting here, I call the spinach pie σπακανοτυρόπιτα which means spinachcheese pie. There are spinach pies without cheese, which is what I call spanakopita. ANYWAY, great video and thank you for sharing your experiences here. I hope you had a great time and you visit again.
Hi guys, just to fill you in a little. The koulouri you definately can eat it with cheese. Thats how greeks eat it for breakfast or a quick lunch with a good cheese.
They went to Katsamakas near Athonos Square, it is a more restaurant-y kind of place, they don't do sandwiches and it is actually a quite decent place. But yeah, they should try some more "hardcore" gyradiko (-diko is like the -sserie ending in French, means a place that sells the first part of the word) next time. The past few months I eat from Gyros tis Ellados (Giros of Greece) and Varelakia (Little Barrels), I don't know how other known places like Solomonidis and Savvikos fair nowadays.
Trigona Panoramatos means Panorama triangles and they are named that way because of the area of Panorama that they originate from and because of their triangular shape. They are staffed with the same cream that you find in the sweet bougatsa..
When I go to Thessaloniki I always go to Elenidis pastry shop for the most amazing "Trigono" a syrupy filo pastry triangle filled with the most amazing custard cream! It's a MUST!
u should also visit perea , which is located very close to the thessaloniki airport. it has the nearest and best beaches with many many taverns and streetfood right at the beaches with an amazing view to thessaloniki. a few times a day a ferryboat sails to perea from white tower and its a very nice journey . it takes roughly 45 minutes but im not so sure if the ferries sail outside of the summerseaon.
About the trigona panoramatos. Trigona in greek means triangle so you are eating triangles from Panorama, a suburb of Thessaloniki where a baker first started making these. Thessaloniki is famous for its trigona and no other place in Greece makes them quite like the Thessalonikans. So you were quite lucky to be trying this delicacy at its home base. Its sfoliata pastry dipped in syrup and filled with vanilla cream. Quite delicious.
Oh wow the food there in Greece looks fantastic, gyro are my most favourite wrap/sandwich also. It’s funny because here in Australia, we call those souvlaki. That dessert at the end had me drooling 🤤. Love you guys, you two are so humble. 🥰
"Souvlaki" it is called wrongly in Athens. "Souvlaki" is actually a small kebab. "Gyros" on the other hand is the pork or chicken meat slices. "Pita gyros" is the sandwich with the meat slices. "Pita souvlaki" is the sandwich with the small kebab. But in Athens they are lazy with words so instead of "pita gyros" they say "souvlaki"... And when they order the small kebab alone without the sandwich they say "kalamaki" instead of "souvlaki"... Hilariously, "kalamaki" is the small piece of wood penetrating the meat

So glad you enjoyed our food! So, some more info. The first thing you ate, bougatsa, is commonly eatten with a glass of cocoa milk. Also, it's not phyllo. That dough is called bougatsa. But the filling can be cream, cheese, spinach, even minced meat. The last thing you ate, trigona panoramatos. Trigono means triangle. Panoramatos means from Panorama which is an area in Thessaloniki. And the base is phyllo which is drowned in syrop, that's why it's sticky. Katsamaka for me is one of the best places. You should have tried kokoretsi. It's amazing! Hope you tried many more kinds of food in Thessaloniki because we have so much!
Kokoretsi is something you have to aquire a taste for. Not too many people in the west will like it right away and probably spit it out lol. Goat and lamb intestines are not big in north america ; )
I hope if you are still here, you should go to a flea market where younwill find fresh fruits, vegetables and many more from local producers, mostly from Makedonia region. There you will see what a fresh tomato looks and tastes like. Usually the street food shops buy plant produced vegetables, so imagine that.
The pie with the spinach is "spanakopita" and the bagel "koulouri" sometimes has cheese in it and its perfect but never butter. "Trigona panoramatos" are also a favorite of mine❤
Donner kempap, can't really say one derives from another. But they are different meat from the get go. Tomatoes in greece, well, even low quality ones ARE fresher than everything else in most countries lol. Same goes for olive oil, feta cheese, onions, spinach, dry nuts, etc. Have fun.
The only place were locals mostly eat that you show is the bougatsa place. All the other are tourist traps unfortunately imo, which is only normal since you guys wandered around down town. Next time you come here ask one of your local subscribers to show you a bit around the city. You'll be surprised at what you've been missing. Have fun travelling!

And you'll be okay.
TasTh thats why i Got 20 kilos in the last 2 months
I married a greek woman and live in Athens with her. 20 kilos...I'm at least 10 on you lol.
Some tips from a greek person:
The reason you did not get a wrap is because you asked for "gyro" which in greek refers to just the meat part (gyro means rotation or "around" in greek, therefore any meat cooked this way be it pork/chicken etc is called gyro) . If you want to get the wrap, then you will have to ask for a "pita gyro" which specifies that you are asking for the gyro wrap :)
Also, if you want to get the classic filling (pita bread, pork, tzatziki, potatoes, tomato, onion) you can order a "pita gyro ap ola"--> literally means pita gyro with everything.
love and support greece from Armenia
trigona Panoramatos from Elenidis are the best!
I don't know if you ever tried it, but next time you're in Greece and specifically, Thessaloniki, try Tsoureki with Chestnut from Terkenlis! It is the best thing ever!!!
Greece = best cousine and street food in the world

We don't have as a traditional food "koulouri" with melted butter but you should try feta cheese with sesame seeds and honey it soooo good
Oh that sounds amazing. I bet that would be delicious - Anna
Feta is wrapped in a thin layer of crust phyllo (yes the one used in the custard cones you ate, just salty) and fried in olive oil, or you can find it dipped in kourkouti (a mixture of plain wheat flour and water) and then fried, with the addition of sesame and honey.
OMg yes I have tried it and it tastes awesome #greece
14:10 Trigona Panoramatos, it means Triangles of Panorama, a suburb of Thessaloniki were this, was first made. The same shop has Tsoureki, a sweet bread, try the one with chessnut cream and white chocolate its really nice
Just stumbling upon ruins. So Greece. Love it. And that custard dessert!

Just discovered your channel today. I had a wonderful Greek vacation this summer that ended with a day in Thessaloniki before I flew to London and back home to the US. I wish I had spent more time in the city and loved your 2 videos on it, some spots I visited and some I didn't. I had the trigona dessert as well!
Well welcome aboard first off 🤗It's so great you found our channel. This city is great and get ready for a whole lot more on Greece for the next month or so - Anna
As for the greek pie in greece spinach is "spanaki" and in this dish, pie is "pita" so the dish is called "spanakopita" or sometimes "spanakotiropita" because it has feta cheese in it. You can find 1000 variations of this dish around greece as the thickness, the ingredients and the dough we use vary ,but mostly, it tastes like heaven and is sooo healthy
Thessaloniki is a very nice city. Its not only about the food. It's about the people. Warm. Friendly, like the hospitality and etc.
Glad you liked my birthplace! Thessaloniki has the biggest university of the country (Aristotle) with like 75k students, that's why cheap streed food thrives. Most foods are inspired from Asia Minor which was Greek for thousands of years and today is modern Turkey, population forced to move out of there because of the massacares (my grandparents too) and opened restaurants and shops here, this is why the city has an eastern-like orientation towards most foods. Sadly if you are vegan you don't have many choices, probably you would go for a Falafel or a pita with potatoes, although last years more vegan restaurants are opening here and shows some promise.
THOSE STREET FOODS ARE SO DELICIOUS YUM YUM
KEEP IT UP GUYS AND KEEP SAFE ALWAYS
I'm from Rhodes greece and the last store you visit (terkenlis) we don't have it.. Every time I have a friend that is visiting Thessaloniki I order to bring me some tsoureki with chestnut and chocolate... I love that so much
I think that the most common thing one can notice in "Macedonia" Airport in Thessaloniki are the nylon bags from Terkenlis filled with tsourekia (brioche like sweet pastry) people take with them in the other parts of Greece :P
Aaaahhhh Rhodes...my favorite island💙🇬🇷
You guys are adorable, you made me miss my hometown. I love watching people enjoy it , you ate all my favourites. Thanks for taking me with you guys !! ♥️
You're welcome 🤗- Anna
So nice video!! I am from Thessaloniki and watching the video made me want to go out and eat! We have great food all over Greece but you have to know which restaurant or shop has the best. You seem to pick the good ones! For history, trIgona is a dessert that is made from a man called Elenidis from the region Panorama Thessalonikis. So the most known trigona in town are from Elenidis. But many other dessert shops have also good ones. You also have to visit the east part of the city, like Vaphopoulou street - Sofouli street - Marina of Krini region for a nice walk and food. ( Sorry for my English guys! )
ugh i LOVE seeing people from abroad trying greek good and actually liking it!!
Guys you’re amazing ..!!! I just found out about your channel and I’m obsessed...!!! Thessaloniki is amazing ( I leave here ) but they are sooo many beautiful cities to visit . You should definitely visit Meteora and Mount Olympus of couse ..!!! Love your work keep going 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

My sis lived in the Evosmos and Stavroupoli districts of Thessaloniki for over 25 years, and first on my hit list when I got there were the totally delicious gyros! I miss it there so much now.
The pie is spanakopita (σπανακόπιτα) you can eat and with feta cheese (τυροπιτα).
Yummy.
The last food is trigona panoramatos.
Everybody gets crazy when they try greek food and they don't even know the good places !!

Thats so kind for you to say im happy because im Greek and our kitchen is world famous
Theres a place called " elenidis" that makew THE BEST " little cones " as you refered to them . You should definitely go try them they are much much better than the ones from the place you got them
Thanks for the tip Pavlina! - Trevor
Spot on!
You are correct, "Elenidis" has won rewards for his trigona, he is the best!!!!
Hi Trevor and Anna this was a really nice food tour of the greek specialties I have had these all of my life growing up
So jealous. Greek's cuisine might be our fav Effie. It's all so tasty! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Thank you Anna
Thank you for making this video and for showing my city and all the delicious food we enjoy here. It is worth tasting it believe me. Really nice video.
You should try
0. Eat Peinirli as for breakfast. You can find them in almost all bakeries
1. Tsinari , during midday to try local alcohol called tsipouro with seafood meze
2. Try and buy the sweets called Revani (or Revani Veroias), also Galaktompoureko, the sweet bread called Tsoureki from Terkenlis and again the Trigono, but this time from the store called Elenidis.
3. A trip until Peraia Thessalonikis if the weather is good to sit next to the sea and eat fresh seafood (be aware that their English might not be good there)
4. Late during nightime in Bit Bazaar for cheap wine and later for a souvlaki or panseta in the Mama Teresa
5. You can also refer in your video on the cheap meals you can get as a student in the street called Melenikou close to the Universities, as Thessaloniki is a student town
6. Last but not least eat Crepe in Nauarinou street from Valentino. A salty Crepe with everything you might choose from the buffet over there. You will love it
Thanks for the great tips. Next time! - Anna
You went in one of the best shops for Bougatsa in Thessaloniki
Is one of my favorites 😁
So glad we picked it too! So so good.. yum - Anna
And Thessaloniki's best ice-cream shop is right opposite. Shame they missed it.
@@lon1117 which shop you mean, Konstantinidis???
Sorry man, but Giannis is one of the best bougatsa shops in the down town area for students that study here from other places in Greece,but if you ask the locals nobody eats from here. The best bougatsa shops are in the western side of the town e. g Bougatsa Panos and Georgos. You can even see the highest score they have amongst other shops in Thessaloniki if you do a Google search.
@@mkourouk locals also eat there,in the center maybe is the best.
In the western side maybe panos and Giorgos are better but in the deep center Gianni's for me is the best,it's recommended to me by a local.
You are the sweetest thing ever! Love from Thessaloniki. You did a great job👌
Wow you picked some of the best places to eat in my city! I'm so glad!
In my fathers schooltime back in the 50s 60s he would always get a koulouri for breakfast or from a street on the way to school.
I just ate a trigono panoramatos and then I watched your video😂😂 have a nice time in our country😀😀
Do You Speak Greek? We are loving it here. The food is 👌 - Trevor
My friends thank you for supporting Greece!Greek word for pie is 'pita' spinachpie=spanakopita.
By the way the spanakopitta you ate is the village kind. (horiatiki) The pastry is homemade by aome giagia or granny and now it is sold in the supermarkets. They also make cheese pies in the same way with horiatiko filo. (village pastry). They all fall under the pie category which is quite extensive in greece and we love our pies, all sorts of them, village ones, twisted ones, crispy filo ones, round ones, with all our greek cheeses, feta, graviera, mizithra etc. or pies without filo, you name it we make it.
Just discovered your channel and love it! We've been adding so many things to our list of things to do in Greece when we get there next month based on your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Welcome to the channel! - Anna
some hard yellow cheese in thin slices is the best with koulouri!
freddos in greece is a new thing for us the greeks too, its invented 6-7 or so years ago, we used to drink frappe ice coffee which was way less tasty and way less healthy, nice videos you do thank you for keeping us nice company
you ate at some of the best places, seriously!
Good to know that our research was worth it. Thanks for watching! - Trevor
The best koulouri is sold by the older men selling on the streets. While visiting family I would get one almost everyday with a greek coffee. The spinach cheese pie was almost definitely spanakopita. The cheese version is called tiropita (tiri=cheese, pita=pie).
Now you just realized, why there are no Mc donalds restorants in Thessaloniki! :p
@lostintimeline no there's not. There is one near airport, and one to the other side, at the edge of town. In a city more that a million, there is no mc Donald's down town.
McDonalds failed in Greece because of Souvlaki and Gyros
@lostintimeline www.forbes.com/sites/panosmourdoukoutas/2014/06/24/mcdonalds-lost-the-greek-market-is-starbucks-next/#27b6cb8541c3
@lostintimeline Technically one of the mcdonalds is outside the city. Kind of. The other is in One Salonica Mall (top floor) which is definitely within the city limits. :p
There used to be more of them. Same with KFC. Now there is only one KFC, outside the city.
έχει στο one salonica και προς ΙΚΕΑ νομίζω
9:32 Omg trigono i wish i had one. By the way trigono Panoramatos (from Panorama) is when you buy it fromPanorama village 12 kilometers south-west from Thessaloniki. Otherwise we call them just trigono.
I am from Greece but live abroad. I definitely go crazy on gyros and freddo cappucino whenever I visit my country.
It's a nice old town, my hometown...

Pita is a Greek word for pie although I think we have very different definitions of what a pie is 😂 basically it's layers of fyllo dough with different kinds of fillings. The way we name any kind of pie is by combining the main ingredient with the word pie. Hence dishes like spanakopita (spinach pie), teeropita (cheese pie) etc.
I am a big fan of yours. The spinach pie with cheese, we called spanakotiropita. I know it's a long word... but this is it!
That's a tongue twister Teli haha - Anna
you missed an opportunity to get tsoureki from that pastry shop at the end.
they are well known for it.
preferably with white chocolate glaze and sweet chestnut filling.
the trigono should be crunchy and not chewy. was probably stale :P
should have gotten to the source, panorama region of thessaloniki.
the difference between doner and gyro is that the one is minced lamb meat, while the other is sheets of pork on top of each other.
tzatziki also has garlic on top of all the rest.
nice video btw :D
This is so nice and so true to the great food of Thessaloniki!!
You should visit crete! Its very beautiful in summer
Go check our other videos...we've been there - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers oh yeah just saw your video!thnx
Thanks for making this video about Thessalonikis street food , mpougatsa is my favorite and i love it , sweet or not you can always eat it with cold cacao
Tsatziki is easy to make at home , its delish
Thank you TH-cam recommendations! Glad you enjoyed my city! It has its ups and downs, but food will rarely disappoint you ;)
So cool you found us through recommendations. Hope you continue to follow along 😃 - Anna
Trigona Panoramatos means, Panorama (a suburb of Thessaloniki) triangles (cause of the shape) !! They are creamier than bougatsa because they make it with half cow and half buffalo milk !! The older days they used 100% Buffalo milk !! Terkenlis is popular for his variety of Tsoureki (sweet fluffy bread with vanilla, mastic,cardamom and almond taste and different chocolate or other sweet stuffings)!!!! Mmmmm!!!! 😃 By the way, awesome Greek food taste/review !!!
Great food choises. I know you've had a nice day because our food is excellent. I could give you a couple of suggestions .TRY tsoureki with chestnut only from Terkenlis = Τερκενλής. And if you visit Chalkidiki you definitely need to eat fried mussels and stuffed calamari.
Take care guys.
I love these videos...gives us great ideas and tips. Plus...yum
You planning on visiting Megan? - Anna
Delightful Travellers Anna Greece is on my list. But seriously you and Trevor have opened my eyes to so many new places. I am not a fan of over crowded places so I love learning and seeing about new places and hidden gems from you guys

Thank you so much !!!! From the bottom of my heart!!!

That gyro looks amazing! 🤤
Drooling over the food...I absolutely love bougatsa...I want some now 😝💖
Creatings from Thessalonikiiiiiii we love you guys 😁❤️
I prefer the mpougatsa from Ο Σερραίος opposite the Courthouse of Thessaloniki. Especially the cheese variety. Unfortunately not the most touristy place.
Unlike most people commenting here, I call the spinach pie σπακανοτυρόπιτα which means spinachcheese pie. There are spinach pies without cheese, which is what I call spanakopita. ANYWAY, great video and thank you for sharing your experiences here. I hope you had a great time and you visit again.
Hi guys, just to fill you in a little. The koulouri you definately can eat it with cheese. Thats how greeks eat it for breakfast or a quick lunch with a good cheese.
8:12 gyros actually doesn’t cost 7 euros!!!!! You can get it in sandwich for 3-3.50 € and it’s better
They didn't have the sandwich option. Only the plate.. that's probably why it costs more - Trevor
Delightful Travellers well I believe you got scammed
Delightful Travellers I’m from Thessaloniki and I haven’t seen a place without sandwich option
@@Nasoss there are
They went to Katsamakas near Athonos Square, it is a more restaurant-y kind of place, they don't do sandwiches and it is actually a quite decent place. But yeah, they should try some more "hardcore" gyradiko (-diko is like the -sserie ending in French, means a place that sells the first part of the word) next time. The past few months I eat from Gyros tis Ellados (Giros of Greece) and Varelakia (Little Barrels), I don't know how other known places like Solomonidis and Savvikos fair nowadays.
From terkenlis you should’ve tried the Greek sweet bread with cheatnut cream filling and the white chocolate cream icing ❤️
That sounds delicious - Anna
Trigona Panoramatos means Panorama triangles and they are named that way because of the area of Panorama that they originate from and because of their triangular shape. They are staffed with the same cream that you find in the sweet bougatsa..
Frappes and freddo espresso, were first made in Thessaloniki. Im not sure about the freddo cappuccino!
Fredo cappuccino Athens👌
frappogalo(frappes with milk) perhaps also athens

So great to know! Thanks for watching - Anna
Great video guys! You went to my favourite places for food!! I'm from Thessaloniki, but i live now in London! Checking your Greek playlist now! xx
So good to know we hit up the right places 😃 - Anna
When I go to Thessaloniki I always go to Elenidis pastry shop for the most amazing "Trigono" a syrupy filo pastry triangle filled with the most amazing custard cream! It's a MUST!
u should also visit perea , which is located very close to the thessaloniki airport.
it has the nearest and best beaches with many many taverns and streetfood right at the beaches with an amazing view to thessaloniki.
a few times a day a ferryboat sails to perea from white tower and its a very nice journey .
it takes roughly 45 minutes but im not so sure if the ferries sail outside of the summerseaon.
About the trigona panoramatos. Trigona in greek means triangle so you are eating triangles from Panorama, a suburb of Thessaloniki where a baker first started making these. Thessaloniki is famous for its trigona and no other place in Greece makes them quite like the Thessalonikans. So you were quite lucky to be trying this delicacy at its home base. Its sfoliata pastry dipped in syrup and filled with vanilla cream. Quite delicious.
Oh wow the food there in Greece looks fantastic, gyro are my most favourite wrap/sandwich also. It’s funny because here in Australia, we call those souvlaki. That dessert at the end had me drooling 🤤. Love you guys, you two are so humble. 🥰
"Souvlaki" it is called wrongly in Athens.
"Souvlaki" is actually a small kebab.
"Gyros" on the other hand is the pork or chicken meat slices.
"Pita gyros" is the sandwich with the meat slices.
"Pita souvlaki" is the sandwich with the small kebab.
But in Athens they are lazy with words so instead of "pita gyros" they say "souvlaki"... And when they order the small kebab alone without the sandwich they say "kalamaki" instead of "souvlaki"...
Hilariously, "kalamaki" is the small piece of wood penetrating the meat
We call that souvlaki in Canada too. haha... omg that dessert though. So good! - Anna
Joseph Modiotis that is so interesting lol

Hello what is the name of places for bougatsa,koulori, greek pie ,gyro and trigona panoramatos?
Καλό βράδυ από την Ελλάδα
Good evening from Greece
So glad you enjoyed our food!
So, some more info.
The first thing you ate, bougatsa, is commonly eatten with a glass of cocoa milk. Also, it's not phyllo. That dough is called bougatsa. But the filling can be cream, cheese, spinach, even minced meat.
The last thing you ate, trigona panoramatos. Trigono means triangle. Panoramatos means from Panorama which is an area in Thessaloniki. And the base is phyllo which is drowned in syrop, that's why it's sticky.
Katsamaka for me is one of the best places. You should have tried kokoretsi. It's amazing!
Hope you tried many more kinds of food in Thessaloniki because we have so much!
Thanks for all the great info here. We tried way more food than this! It's all so yummy - Anna
Kokoretsi is something you have to aquire a taste for. Not too many people in the west will like it right away and probably spit it out lol. Goat and lamb intestines are not big in north america ; )
its spanakotyropita…..mix spinach and feta cheese in a pie ,and very very correct its trigona panoramatos :)...love from Greece we w8 you to come back
Glad you liked the food here guys. Next time don't forget to let us know you are coming so we can suggest you more 😊
I hope if you are still here, you should go to a flea market where younwill find fresh fruits, vegetables and many more from local producers, mostly from Makedonia region. There you will see what a fresh tomato looks and tastes like. Usually the street food shops buy plant produced vegetables, so imagine that.
We're not there at the moment as we are off to explore the islands. But thanks for the tips. We know we'll be back - Anna
The pie with the spinach is "spanakopita" and the bagel "koulouri" sometimes has cheese in it and its perfect but never butter. "Trigona panoramatos" are also a favorite of mine❤
Actually in some places you can find koulouri filled with Philadelphia.
@@nickdk1550 and filled with kaseri
@@innosanto Personally I prefer with feta cheese or Philadelphia
Donner kempap, can't really say one derives from another. But they are different meat from the get go.
Tomatoes in greece, well, even low quality ones ARE fresher than everything else in most countries lol.
Same goes for olive oil, feta cheese, onions, spinach, dry nuts, etc.
Have fun.
The only place were locals mostly eat that you show is the bougatsa place. All the other are tourist traps unfortunately imo, which is only normal since you guys wandered around down town. Next time you come here ask one of your local subscribers to show you a bit around the city. You'll be surprised at what you've been missing. Have fun travelling!
