Bougatsadiko Thessaloniki

Athens


Unexpected for its location on a key nightlife square in Psyrri, this place makes excellent pites (pies), with filo crust that's 'opened' (rolled out by hand) every day – you can watch the baker at work. Bougatsa (filo with custard) is great for breakfast, the meat pies are a treat after drinks and spanakopita (spinach pie) hits the spot anytime.
