Last night we had a first-time customer, Ilan Adar,
accomplished and internationally exhibited artist.
While enjoying his meal, Ilan spontaneously picked up a pen and began sketching our restaurant capturing the room, the people dining and the atmosphere around him.
What he created was absolutely beautiful. But even more special than his incredible talent was the man himself. Ilan is an amazing human being, with an absolute heart of gold.
It’s moments like this that remind us why we love what we do. You never know who is going to walk through your doors, or the beautiful memories they might leave behind.
Thank you, Ilan, for your kindness, your generosity and your beautiful gift.

Really? Does anyone actually care about the AFL Grand Final now that Collingwood’s out of it?
Let’s be honest… without Collingwood, it’s not really a Grand Final. It’s just two teams playing a game in September.
As we Greeks say, there are two types of supporters
Collingwood supporters… and everyone who secretly wishes they were Collingwood supporters. 🖤🤍
Enjoy the long weekend, everyone

Happy Birthday to our Dad, Evangelos our head chef and the heart of our Tavern.
You are the rock of our business, the glue that holds our family together, and the person who has given so much to both. Without you, none of this would be possible.

The other night, we had the privilege of hosting the Shabbat Club of Melbourne for a beautiful celebration of Greek and Jewish culture.
Two proud cultures came together through family, food, music, love and shared values. It was wonderful to see the next generation celebrating life, honouring their heritage and representing their community with such passion and pride.
Congratulations to Chrystal and the Shabbat Club of Melbourne for organising such a memorable evening, and a special thank you to Yanni Baloukas for bringing the night alive with his music.
This is what community is all about different cultures coming together with respect, friendship and joy. 🇬🇷🤝✡️

It was wonderful to see everyone appreciating life, love and music, along with the values our two cultures share. At the heart of both communities, it’s all about family, music and food.
It was beautiful to see the next generation celebrating life, staying connected to their heritage and representing their community with such passion and pride.
Crystal from the Shabbat Club, well done on organising such a fantastic evening.
Yanni Baloukas you were absolutely amazing, playing both Jewish and Greek music and bringing everyone together.
And finally, thank you to our wonderful staff. It was hard work, but it was absolutely worth it.
