Nea Diagonios featured on emakedonia.gr
emakedonia.gr has published a new feature on Nea Diagonios. Dated 4 November 2026, the article looks at our journey on Themistokli Sofouli Street and our inclusion in the MICHELIN Guide 2027.
We thank emakedonia.gr for the feature and for recognising the work of Ioannis Chantakis and our team. It is a welcome opportunity to introduce our cooking and the experience we hope to offer every guest.
Earth, Fire, Sea
These three words describe the philosophy of Nea Diagonios: ingredients from the Greek land, cooking shaped by fire and flavours inspired by the sea. Tradition gives us our starting point, while contemporary technique helps us develop it, with care for the ingredients and balance on the plate.
Chef Ioannis Chantakis and his team bring that approach to their daily work. Grilling, preparation and seasonality are all part of the same process: serving Greek food with a clear identity and attention to detail. Every stage, from preparing an ingredient to its final cooking, contributes to the meal our guests enjoy.
Flavours to share
Handmade pork gyros and Thessaloniki soutzoukakia are two of our signature dishes. Alongside them, salads, cold and warm starters, selected meats and seafood offer different ways to build a meal around the table. Together, these choices express the connection between familiar Greek flavours and our contemporary approach.
You can begin with dishes to share, choose your own main course from the grill or the sea and finish with one of our house-made desserts. Our current menu sets out the dishes and their descriptions, helping you plan a meal around your preferences, whether you are returning for a favourite or discovering something new.
By the sea in Kalamaria
You will find us at 64A Themistokli Sofouli Street, Kalamaria. Our seaside setting and hospitality complement the cooking, whether you join us for a family lunch, dinner with friends or an evening as a couple. We want you to feel comfortable, share good food and enjoy time together at the table.
