Bougatsa Savvas brings the northern Greek breakfast pie to Kaningos Square, a few minutes' walk from Omonia. The filo is baked fresh through the day and served the Thessaloniki way: cut into bite-size squares on greaseproof paper, with the classic semolina cream dusted in icing sugar and cinnamon, or savoury with cheese, minced meat, chicken, spinach or leek. There is coffee too, so it makes an easy, inexpensive breakfast or mid-morning stop before the National Archaeological Museum, a short walk north. Our advice: order the cream bougatsa warm and a cheese one alongside, and share them while they are hot.
