George's Greek Tavern, Melbourne

Being surrounded by Greeks in a Greek restaurant is a good indicator of the quality and authenticity of the cuisine. You will find both here. Inside it is a modern establishment with muted pink and orange hues. Although not suited for a quiet dinner, the humming, family atmosphere and friendly service guarantee a good night out. George visits the market daily for the finest seafood, while wife Helen tends to the casseroles. Tempting starters (many vegetarian) include creamy skordalia dip (AUD5) or marinated octopus (AUD9.50). Mains include herbed spicy lamb (AUD16.50) and moussaka (AUD12). The mixed sweets platter is excellent for dessert. Set menus are also available.
