Take A Euro Trip To The Best Greek Restaurants In Brisbane
No European summer escape this year? No dramas. Visit the best Greek restaurants in Brisbane to let your taste buds escape instead.
Brisbane is lucky to be home to many a well-travelled restaurateur, which allows locals to eat their way around the world no matter which part of the city they live in.
With a whole host of family, home-style meals on offer, you’ll almost feel as if you’re on an island in the Aegean Sea.
Explore stunning and elevated dining in Fortitude Valley or West End, or head out to the suburbs for cosy, home-cooked hits. These are our favourite Greek restaurants in Brisbane.
Lefkas Taverna
Operating since 1991, Lefkas Taverna has a traditional village vibe, and owner John Theoharis boasts that the restaurant serves the very same food he has eaten his whole life.
For the indecisive diner, we recommend the Lefkas Legends Platter, a mixed grill consisting of lamb & chicken souvlakia, quails, lamb & chicken souvla, cutlets and tzatziki.
Sitchu Tip: Planning a solid catch-up with the gang? BYO wine nights are Wednesday & Thursday each week, with an $8 corkage fee.

Lemoni Greek Cuzina
Each item on the menu at Lemoni Greek Cuzina tells a story from their team of chefs’ collective histories, childhoods and homes.
You’ll recognise popular favourites such as saganaki and grilled octopus, as well as new favourites like the vegetarian gemista, a stuffed capsicum mixture of eggplant, zucchini and mushroom finished with Greek herbs & spices.

Yamas Greek & Drink
Yamas means “a toast to good health” in Greek, and you’re encouraged to do so while you dine here!
Open for lunch and dinner, you can dine to your heart’s content on nothing but the freshest fish, meats and produce that’s designed to be shared, as Greek food is as much about the meal as the people you share it with.
Sitchu Tip: The halloumi chips and grilled lamb ribs are our picks for the tastiest mezze plates — they also make the perfect crowd-pleaser if your table isn’t sure where to start their order!
West Village, 45 Mollison Street, West End
Opa Bar & Mezze
Whilst “opa!” is normally traditionally accompanied by plate smashing, we hope you’ll contain your high spirits and exuberance to keep your plate firmly on the table in front of you, as you won’t want to waste a bit of your dish!
If you’re an oyster lover, this riverside bar is the right place to be, with a dedicated oyster menu at the ready, so you can try them several ways.

Better known as The Greek Club, Nostimo has been serving up authentic Greek food and hospitality since 1975.
They hold regular events to celebrate Greek calendar events, tradition and culture, with the most popular being the annual Paniyiri Festival, held across Musgrave Park. You can even book a private dining room for your next special occasion.
