The New Diagonal in Kalamaria stands out for the flavorful cuisine of Chef Giannis Xantaki, with high-quality meat dishes and appetizers, an excellent sea view, and a curated wine list.
It is considered one of the highest quality restaurants in Kalamaria. The chef Giannis Xantakis, a scion of a family with a great gastronomic tradition, proposes a delicious cuisine with quite special dishes that are worth trying for both city dwellers and visitors to Thessaloniki.
The restaurant's strong suit is also its «sea at its feet,» or more precisely, 3-4 meters from its garden. In the summer, it's exceptionally welcoming and steals the show. The same goes for the interior space, thanks to large glass panels that allow light to enter undisturbed and offer patrons a view. Regarding the menu, the orientation is mainly towards meat. (Perhaps due to family tradition) but very soon the fish will also get the share it deserves and that the restaurant's seaside location dictates. The first observation when trying the dishes recommended by the menu is that the Agioritiki (Mount Athos style) eggplant salad and the excellent Athenian salad with homemade mayonnaise are two great appetizers. The white cheese, which the chef prepares himself and you absolutely must try, is also excellent.
Must and institution in News Diagonal and the soutzoukakia, due to family tradition. As for the meat suggestions, they are all at a high level, both in taste and tenderness. But what I found excellent in quality and grilling was the grilled beef liver. The cherry on top of the taste experience is the wine list, which is carefully curated and satisfies all tastes. The service is also neat and friendly. In conclusion, as far as I'm concerned, I've been to Nea Diagonios many times and I will definitely go again. Why don't you?;
