Overview
Eating out in Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki's cooking reflects its Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish past. Bougatsa for breakfast, ouzeri in Ladadika, the Modiano and Kapani markets, and some of Greece's best sweets make it a destination in its own right.
Aristotle University and the region's visitors keep the city busy year round, and nightlife runs late. Long meze menus and changing specials suit a menu guests can scroll on their phone.

With ListoQ
How ListoQ runs your QR menu in Thessaloniki
One QR code that never needs reprinting
ListoQ gives each venue a permanent QR code and link. Change a price or a dish of the day and guests in Thessaloniki see it the moment you publish.
The 14 EU allergens on every dish
Tag allergens and vegetarian or vegan options per item in ListoQ, so the information guests ask about is on the menu instead of in a folder behind the bar.
Import the menu you already have
AI import in ListoQ reads a PDF, Excel, Word file or photo into a draft. You review it, add your languages and publish when it is ready.
