• Indoor Level (1st Floor): Features ultra-white walls reminiscent of Greek limestone, rattan chairs, a terracotta-tiled bar, and blue-and-white tiled tabletops. A vinyl-only DJ booth sets the vibe on select nights.
• Rooftop Bar: Set in what was once a market car park, this outdoor space is lined with olive trees and offers a retractable roof, perfect for year-round enjoyment.
• The bistro where the standouts include taramasalata with Yarra Valley caviar and koulouri (sesame biscuits), saganaki croquettes, arancini, dolmades, meatballs, octopus, and focaccia with taramasalata.
• The menu aims for refined, snack-style offerings, smaller portions geared toward sharing, distinct from the hearty Greek platters typical of the area.
• The wine list offers around 140 bottles, focusing on Greek and Australian selections curated by sommelier Norman Houghton.
• Cocktails include inventive creations like the Karpouzaki (gin, ouzo, watermelon juice, lemon) and the Mount Olympus (gin, elderflower liqueur, Benedictine, honey-Greek-mountain-tea syrup).
