Tsarouchas

A Thessaloniki institution for patsas — the slow-simmered tripe soup that locals swear by as a winter warmer and a morning-after cure. Going for decades just off the market streets, Tsarouchas opens through the small hours and serves its famous soup (with the garlic-and-vinegar on the side) alongside honest magirefta and grills. It's plain, old-school and the real thing — the place to try a dish most visitors never order.
