Discover why Thessaloniki is considered Greece’s culinary capital in this full episode of My Greek Table with Diane Kochilas. This is is from season 4, episode 4 of My Greek Table.
From street food to seafood, Diane explores the rich flavors and vibrant food culture of this historic northern city—recently named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. She learns the art of bougatsa, the city’s iconic creamy phyllo pastry, with a master baker, and ventures out to sea to harvest fresh mussels, a local delicacy.
Back in the kitchen, Diane prepares mussel pilaf and feta-stuffed roasted peppers, showcasing the bold, diverse flavors that define Thessaloniki’s cuisine—from meze and spices to seafood and sweets.
This episode is a celebration of Greek food culture at its most dynamic, blending tradition, innovation, and the unmistakable tastes of the Mediterranean diet.

Wow! Happy Easter. Love Greece. Love Europe.
Yummy yummy to everything ❤❤❤
Went there for the first time last october. Incredible food . Like you literally cannot go wrong in any place you choose. I had fried potatotes in graviera crema and garnished with guanchale that absolutely amazed me
I had to tell myself to slow down eating it so the experience would last.
