In Ano Poli, the most beautiful district of Thessaloniki, near the City Walls and not very far from Trigoniou Tower, there is a very nice meze restaurant called Tiho Tiho. Back in 2010, when Tiho Tiho started operating, it very quickly became one of the locals' favorite spots. The people of Thessaloniki simply love the meze restaurants, so whenever a good one is established, everybody is eager to visit it!
A regular problem with Tiho Tiho is the difficulty to secure a table to be seated, especially during the weekends. Very often you will notice people standing outside the restaurant or sitting at the bar, waiting for a table! And that's because there aren't any similar choices nearby except for the usual taverns!
Now to cut to the chase, try the delicious chicken steaks (my personal favorite), the meatballs, the zucchini balls, the talagani (cheese), the mushrooms and the kavourma (pork confit)! Besides the food, the restaurant's environment is absolutely stunning! So make sure to combine your visit to Tiho Tiho with a walk to the Walls of Thessaloniki.
