Located on the first level, we sat on the veranda overlooking Southbank with the lit up buildings over the water creating a great atmosphere. Cafe blinds & heaters kept us comfortable.
All of us opted for “The Greek Feast” @ $59 p/person
Homemade dips & dolmades came out first, followed by the pan fried saganaki (divine) & crispy calamari.
A few more Mythos, not a bad beer and the chargrilled meat platters came out.
MY-F#CKING-GOD!
Chicken, pork & lamb gyros, loukanika, lamb koftas & bifteki served with sides of Greek style chips, salad & dessert.
The meat was nothing short of spectacular. Cooked perfectly & plenty of it. Washed down with more Mythos & a few bottles of red and it was a fantastic night. The service was friendly & efficient.
Highly recommend if you’re heading over the border.

Service 9/10
Food 9.5/10
Value 9.5/10

Might give this joint a go when I'm in Melbourne for the Cats v Hawks game in a couple of weeks.

You tried the Greek joint at Glenelg near the Pier?

Purchased a Scoopon online for 4 people, choice of schnitzel with sauce or any burger off the menu plus 4 pints of tap beer/cider or glass of house wine all for $35. I must admit I was sceptical when I bought it - quality, how small would the meals be etc.
Table booked for 6pm, seated & drinks ordered straight away. Fast table service for drinks - tick. (shits me no end when you have to wait & wait for a drink). Second beer arrives & we order.
The bistro is well set out & tables are not crammed together like many places these days. The manager Alex, runs a well organised bistro with plenty of friendly, attentive staff.
Beer number 3 and the meals arrive, the missus & kids all order beef burgers - pattie, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, relish & smokey mustard on a good sized brioche bun with a mountain of chips on the side. I had the chicken parmigiana & chips. Mine was stock standard, nothing flash but by no means bad. The three burgers were spot on. The kids could’ve shared one they were such a good size, so I got to help clean theirs up too. Wifey smashed hers and washed it down with a cider. A couple of soft drink pints for the kids were $10.
In and out within an hour, fed, watered & content.
4 meals, 3 pints of Carlton Draught, 1 pint cider all for $35 - outrageous value, kicking myself I didn’t purchase more.

Service 9/10
Food 8/10
Value 10/10

Unreal value! Is the deal still available or gone?

Do they have a good alfresco dining area with heating? I'm an outdoors man when it comes to eating out. I'm about to book a table for a couple of weeks. I've been on their website and the food looks good. Can't find a bloody wine list though

Yep, make sure you book a table on the balcony overlooking the water, they’ve got heaters out there.
They’ve just updated their website & they haven’t put their wine list up for some reason.
