Ouzeri Aristotelous

A traditional ouzeri hidden off Aristotelous Square, its best room a plant-filled covered courtyard of marble bistro tables and old travel posters. The format is the classic one — ouzo and tsipouro with a rolling spread of seafood and cooked meze — a calm, old-Thessaloniki pocket a step away from the city's grandest square. Grilled octopus and the daily meze are the way in.
