Marger

Macedonian·City Park·€€

A 1939 tavern, revived

About Marger

The original Marger was a bohemian tavern where the city met, ate and sang from 1939 until it closed in 1945. Sixty-five years later the owner’s descendants revived the name in the heart of City Park, as a modern restaurant with Macedonian appetisers, main dishes and house specialities. After a walk under the plane trees, it is a calm, green place to eat. Our advice: come for a long Sunday lunch and take the meze to start.
