Urban environment and large outdoor spaces combine to create a whole that, along with the quality of the menu, is worth visiting.
Every place has its mediocre restaurants, its good ones, and its restaurants that go beyond their limits and become truly local. The same is true in Greece, with the difference that there are few restaurants of this category and most of them are concentrated in Athens. However, there is also an exception, quite far from the capital of the country: the Aie Giorgis in Alexandroupoli.
For the city’s residents, it is a beloved restaurant and a point of reference, while it has also gained a loyal following beyond the Greek borders, especially among visitors from neighboring Balkan countries. It is no coincidence that Aie Giorgis has evolved into a restaurant-symbol of a region where the peoples of the Balkans meet, travel, eat, and have fun without having anything to separate them.
Its success has two main pillars: the environment and quality in the plate. Aie Giorgis is located on a beautiful organized beach, which is managed by the restaurant, creating a complete experience that combines sea, sun, relaxation, and food. You can spend several hours here, from a swim and a coffee to a meal by the water.
The space itself has purely urban characteristics, which blend harmoniously with the natural landscape and the view of the sea. This setting largely explains why Aie Giorgis has evolved into a «place to be» for Alexandroupoli.
In taste, the sign is clearly the sea. With very good connections in the area, the restaurant’s fish stall offers fish daily according to the season and availability, while the experienced chef takes it upon himself to bring it to its best. Because good fish is not enough by itself. Proper handling over the fire is also necessary to bring it to the table properly.
The menu is complemented by a wide variety of appetizers and side dishes, with the sea remaining at the center, while meat-based suggestions are also available for those who want a different option. The logic is simple and proven: good ingredients, proper cooking, and flavors that match the landscape and occasion.
Thrace and Eastern Macedonia have beauty that is worth getting to know and visiting. Aie Giorgis It is one of those, not only for the natural landscape but also for the experience it offers. A meal by the sea, with the blue in front of you and a good fish on the table, is one of those moments that you hardly forget.
