01 · In a sentence

Resturant Planetarium Barestau in Thessaloniki 570 01, open JuneOctober.

Guests arrive at a working planetarium that doubles as an event space, where the night sky becomes your ceremony backdrop.

The venue seats up to 150 people under a dome projection system, creating an immersive atmosphere that shifts from cosmos to celebration within hours.

Located 6km from central Thessaloniki, it's a 15-minute drive from the city's main hotels and attractions.

The restaurant is perfectly placed near Noesis Center. We went there and took a small break to eat lunch. The waiter was very polite and knew English really well. There are not a lot of items on the menu, but it’s enough for everyone. The prices were good and portions quite big. Also, we ordered a cheesecake which was very big and delicious. I recommend going here, especially when going to Noesis.
