Nea Folia

The food at New Folio is absolutely amazing. This old style family owned tavern is a true hidden gem in the city. From the start everything was so delicious. We had a fresh winter salad and winter tzatziki with a lovely cheese full of flavor. For the main course we ordered the rooster with pasta and it was perfectly cooked. The meat was so tender it fell right off the bone. The staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable and made us feel right at home. We loved it so much that we will definitely come back. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Nice and quiet restaurant, very clean and nice approach they suggest you either fresh of the day dishes or from the menu depend on your preferences. I was on fasting so no meat allowed but either way I had some nice food especially the fava and skoumpri also for cold appetiser the mussels were great and tasty. I liked that they have their own signature for the dishes with the onions, sun dried tomatoes and the paksimadakia. The decoration and atmosphere are also worth mentioning.

Small place not upscale where food is excellent, tasty and flavourful. House red wine ain't the most spectacular but it does the job. Don't let the decor foul you, the food is excellent for a small price.

What a nice food, different from the traditional Greek food only! Good atmosphere, lots of love put in the preparation of the food, with people loving food and people in the kitchen.. This is a not to missed local mystical spot, not to be missed in Thessaloniki!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

A bit disappointed with our visit we had expected more after reading the reviews. With just one table taken when we arrived at 8pm it still took a while before we were given a menu. Hand written with a small choice, just what we like. Also the food took longer to come than in the other restaurants we visited during our month in mainland Greece,again this is our preference. However the food was overall disappointing. Grilled mushrooms and herbs: just four medium mushrooms, not good value for money, although the flavour was good. A sausage and egg dish was four fried eggs on a dish with thin slices of overcooked sausage around the edge. Meatballs were OK but the serving of chips in a tiny frying basket seemed overly pretentious and not in keeping with somewhere purporting to be an authentic Greek restaurant. With a litre of wine, water and bread, the bill came to 45.50 euros. Two more tables were filled but both were tourists.

For us is simply the best restaurant in Thessaloniki, even in the whole Greece. For the recent trip we spent one week in Thessaloniki and we have been here for dinner twice. All the dishes have exceeded our expectations. The top one dish is the shrimps with oatmeal, it was so delicious. We have been here in 2016 once, I am looking forward to come here and dine here in the future.

Lonely Planet led us here and not gonna lie, we were a bit confused at first. For some reason, we were the only people in the restaurant the entire time. The menu is handwritten on paper and the place is decorated in an old style. But the reviews suggested otherwise, so we stayed. And, no regrets. It was delicious. Some of the best octopus I’ve had. Husband had the meatballs and enjoyed those too. The waiter said the menu changes so depending on when you go, you may have different options. In traditional Greek style, they serve dessert for free. I’m not sure what it was, but it tasted good!

Not posting reviews very often but this time I wanted to because this restaurant deserve a better note. We took: 900g lavraki fish, a politiki salad, fries, fried feta honey, fried zucchini, bread, 2 sodas, a bottle of water and a coca. We paid 68,- seriously delicious and quality. Nice and not too loud traditional Greek music. One minus: the fish took a long time to come compared to the side dishes, but still 5 ⭐️ See you next time ;)
