Wood fire. Good dining.

Great meals are made of fire, care, and a touch of patience.

SCROLL TO CIRCLE THE FIRE

01 ΕΣΤΙΑ — THE HEARTH

An open kitchen built around a living wood fire. Comfort dining from hearth to table — bread rising in the stone oven, ferments working slowly in the cellar, and greens cut to order from our own vertical farm. Greek first, English second, fire always.

FIRE

real wood, lit every morning

CRAFT

chefs you can see, food you can trust

PATIENCE

ferments, doughs & embers take their time

02 ΙΣΤΟΡΙΕΣ — WHAT WE TEND

Tiered vertical farm shelves of herbs and microgreens

ΚΗΠΟΣ

OUR FARM

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.

CUT TO ORDER

ΨΩΜΙ

OUR DAILY BREAD

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

OUR KITCHEN

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.

ΟΜΑΔΑ

OUR TEAM

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.

ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΙΑ

OUR PHILOSOPHY

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

Is Maestranza a fine dining restaurant in Thessaloniki?

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.

Is Maestranza in the Michelin Guide?

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.

How do I book a table at Maestranza?

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.

What should I order at Maestranza?

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.
