Some places you visit for a special occasion, and others become part of your daily routine. Limeri belongs to the second category. Since 1984, it has spent more than four decades in the restaurant business, keeping at its core the kind of food people want on their table without having to think twice: hearty, familiar, and with plenty of choices.


A Home-Style Kitchen for Every Day

From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Limeri fills up every day with dishes that cater to different tastes and needs. Its foundation remains home-style cooked dishes, combining a wide variety with made-to-order options such as meat, fish and seafood.

The variety is such that a single table can bring together very different choices, from a classic casserole dish to a burger or a fish option. During fasting periods, the restaurant's kitchen adapts accordingly, offering a matching selection of fasting-friendly dishes.


Weekdays Are for Home-Style Dishes, Weekends Belong to the Spit

If there is one part of Limeri's story that still holds its own special place, it is the spit-roasted meats. The restaurant began its journey with spit-roasted meats as its signature, and that tradition remains alive to this day.

Pork and chicken kontosouvli, spit-roasted steak, kid goat and burgers are among the options, while on weekends the table takes on an even more traditional character, with spit-roasted lamb and kokoretsi. The restaurant has successfully combined the everyday table shared with friends with the more traditional side of Greek gastronomy, especially on weekends, when the spit takes center stage. A table with room for all of Thessaloniki.

As owner Thomas Gogos puts it, the philosophy of Limeri is that it doesn't cater to one specific type of customer. Students, workers, families and groups of friends of all ages can find an option here that fits their daily routine.

The venue can also host christenings and other events, turning a kitchen with a strongly everyday character into a space that can welcome more special occasions.


From Limeri's Kitchen to Your Table

The relationship the restaurant has built with the people of Thessaloniki is no longer limited to the physical venue. Those who want to enjoy the food at home can place their order by phone, as well as through efood and Box, choosing from the kitchen's daily dishes.

Open every day until 6:00 p.m., Limeri continues a journey that began in 1984 and evolves along with the needs of the city. It does not try to become something different from what it is, but remains what it knows how to do best: a popular, affordable kitchen where choosing a meal can be as simple as the reason for a group of friends to sit around a beautiful table.
