If you are a choux (cream puffs) fan, look no further than Choureál, where the tastiest profiteroles are made in Thessaloniki. The young owner, a chemistry major passionate about pastry making, had the idea to open a place where you could customize profiteroles. You choose your fillings and toppings, and then you can watch as the staff creates your bowl right in front of your eyes.

In the city where bougasan was born, the delicious hybrid of bougatsa-croissant, but also introduced us to the idea of tailor-made à la minute profiteroles, include the now-established Estrella and Choureal respectively in your itinerary. For top fish dining, among the spots worth knowing are O Psaras with almost a century of history and the also century-old Mavri Thalassa, for amazing meat and especially for the famous Thessaloniki soutzoukakia, book a table at the refined taverna Palia Athina that locals love and at Diagonios with its generous portions, which is also a timeless value, while for the ultimate home-cooked dishes and comfort food that speaks to your heart, Salonica at the Makedonia Palace hotel with the authentic dishes of award-winning executive chef Sotiris Evangelou and Duck Private Chefing with its warm, friendly atmosphere are the way to go.

Φημισμένο για το ιστορικό προφιτερόλ του, το βραβευμένο με Stelios Award για το 2017, Choureál, στεγάζεται στο κέντρο της πόλης για να σας προσφέρει όλα τα γλυκά που επιθυμείτε, με τη νοστιμιά και την ποιότητα που αποτελούν βασικά ζητούμενα. Ακολουθώντας πιστά την handmade τακτική, οι dessert experts του μαγαζιού βρίσκονται εκεί για να σας προσφέρουν ένα από τα νοστιμότερα παγωτά της Θεσσαλονίκης μέσα από μια θαυμαστή ποικιλία από λαχταριστές αυθεντικές συνταγές, μια απαράμιλλη πανδαισία γεύσεων και σαγηνευτικών αρωμάτων. Η διαφυγή για γλυκό που γονάτισε τις αισθήσεις με το φρέσκο γαλλικό προφιτερόλ και με τα τραγανά choux, βάζει ένα twist δροσιάς με χειροποίητο παγωτό από φρέσκο γάλα, φρούτα και όχι μόνο.

Another great establishment, Choureal, is the result of the synergy between biologist Aliki and chemical engineer Miles, who created what is basically a choux boutique. They bake fresh choux every hour of the day and make their profiterole on the spot, using either cream or their own ice cream along with different types of chocolate for the sauce. Try, too, the chocolate éclairs or the Paris-Brest stuffed with cream.

On the Palaion Patron Germanou street is the paradise of profiteroles!. In the nice space of Choureál, prepare for a unique experience, actively participating in the creation of your own personalized dessert. The machines of the workshop, at the back of the patisserie, work non-stop, so that all the soussaki are always offered freshly baked.

Choureal has been established in the minds of Thessalonikians as the freshest profiterole of the city. Miles and Alice’s “sweet” shop attracts hundreds of people daily, so they can taste the exquisite dessert, which is prepared in front of them!. With fine and fresh materials, the profiterole will get in your belly…for good!

Some of the best desserts in town are at this stylish shop | Photo via Choureál, used with permission. Profiterole (cream puff) is a dessert that almost everyone loves, right?. The combination of chocolate, cream and the soft choux makes it an absolute sweet paradise.

Part of this Thessaloniki-born profiterole cafe’s appeal is that children can take part in assembling their own dream sweet. Baked fresh every hour, thin-crisped choux are whisked off baking trays to receive toppings of cream, ice cream, and other sweet sprinklings.

You could hardly refuse if you peeked behind the glass window of one of the shops on Choureál | Choux & Profiterole. Here the profiteroles are raised on a pedestal!. And you can create the dessert to your taste, adding different creams and ingredients.

Another must-try experience is a visit to Choureal, a pastry shop famous for its trigona panoramatos. These triangle-shaped pastries filled with cream are a Thessaloniki specialty and make for an ideal sweet treat.

Located in one of the most beautiful districts in the centre of Thessaloniki, Choureal hand-makes some of the finest and freshest profiteroles to write home about – even if you are a Parisian pastry chef.
