Two floors above the hearth, greens grow in stacked beds under soft light. Herbs, bitter leaves and microgreens are cut minutes before they touch the plate — a farm that has never seen a truck.

ΨΩΜΙ
A sourdough culture older than the restaurant, proofed overnight and baked in the stone oven while the city sleeps. Torn, never sliced. Served warm, always.

ΕΣΤΙΑ
No walls, no pass, no secrets. Skewers turn over oak embers, whole vegetables blister in the ash, and the fire decides the pace of the evening. Sit at the counter and watch it happen.
OAK & OLIVE WOOD
ΟΜΑΔΑ
Cooks, bakers, growers and hosts — one crew in black. The people feeding the fire are the same people bringing your plate; ask them anything, they love it.
THE CHEFS
ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΙΑ
Fire is the oldest table. We cook slowly over real wood because some things — bread, ferments, trust — cannot be rushed. Comfort is not a style here; it is the whole point.
“FIRE, CARE & PATIENCE”Q ΕΡΩΤΗΣΕΙΣ — GOOD QUESTIONS
Yes. Maestranza is a wood-fire fine dining restaurant in Thessaloniki's Valaoritou district. Everything is cooked in a fully open kitchen over oak and olive embers: dry-aged beef cuts, lamb souvlaki, stone-oven sourdough, and greens harvested from our own indoor vertical farm minutes before they reach the plate.
Not yet — and we say that out loud on purpose. Maestranza cooks with the discipline of Michelin-level kitchens: single-origin Greek produce, raw island cheeses, a from-scratch fermentation program and a fire that is lit by hand every morning. Guide recognition is a goal we work toward every single service. Come judge us yourself — the counter has the best view of the fire.
Reserve online through our reservations page or call +30 231 055 5150. We serve Tuesday to Sunday from 18:00. The twelve-seat oak counter in front of the wood fire is the most requested seat in the house — book ahead for weekends.
Start with the sourdough peinirli from the wood oven or the mushroom crème brûlée with black truffle. For mains, the lamb souvlaki with sweet chili pear and the charcoal-grilled USA Ribeye are the dishes guests talk about — and everything green on the plate grew two floors above the fire, in our vertical farm.
