The Three Little Pigs combines a historic setting and modern aesthetics with cuisine that creatively honors Greek tradition, establishing the restaurant as a must-visit culinary destination.
In the Frankish quarter, in a classic building in the second century of its life, O. Kalaitzidis (one of the – not many – people in the restaurant industry with vision and ambition) honors the city of Thessaloniki with a restaurant that rightfully deserves to be called a «must-be.».
The peculiarity that characterizes Three Little Pigs it is emphasized even more by the fact that the restaurant is located in a relatively working-class area of Thessaloniki and at a distance of about 250 m from Kapani, the market built by Sultan Bayezid five centuries ago.
The Three Little Pigs is appealing and interesting from the very first moment. It's located on a small street off Ionos Dragoumi street, about fifty meters from Egnatia street. The restaurant is housed on the ground floor of the building, in an urban, well-maintained, and elegant space with wood as its dominant element. The outdoor area is equally comfortable yet discreet, without disturbing the historic period building in which the restaurant is housed.
However, despite the charm of the space and the street where the restaurant is located, the main attraction that compels passersby to visit «Tria Gourounakia», whether they are tourists or residents of Thessaloniki, is the cuisine. What Dimitris Kalaitsidis has achieved is a culinary offering that deeply respects Greek tradition while skillfully guiding it into the modern 21st century without losing its soul. It's a restaurant that belongs in the city's "must-visit" list.
