Hellenic Republic

Came by for lunch and when asked, was able to do the Feed Me meal which consisted of 6 dishes as well as a glass of wine for $35. It started with Prosseco, followed by bread, hummus and olives. I generally don't eat olives as they are usually too salty for me but these were quite nice, aside from the large ones. The zucchini chips were amazing, crispy and tasty. This was followed with roast chicken served with feta on chips and a Cypriot grain salad, all of which were delicious. The chicken with the grain salad was quite tasty, and the chips on top of that made a really filling meal. I was there quite early so was able to get a table without a reservation. The service was really friendly and it was fairly easy to get the attention of someone if you needed it, even when busy. Aside from their menu, there were also other options that were on the wall. It was a really filling and delicious lunch.

After visiting Gazi in the city, we were keen to try George Calombaris’ Hellenic Republic. Excellent experience with amazing Greek food in a cosy atmospheric seating. We visited on a weekday night and the place was packed full. Service was excellent. Every dish was delicious but can highly recommend the Patzari (roast beetroot) and the Kotopoulo (Chicken from the spit). Beautiful taramasalata too. Can’t wait to return for more.

It’s pretty hard to fault this place. The atmosphere is lively, the staff are attentive and friendly and will take time to ensure you are comfortable. The food is like it just came out of your mums kitchen. We left feeling full & nourished, the lamb shoulder could’ve been carved with a spoon and was a real highlight We had the banquet which did not disappoint. We will be back soon

WAY OVER PRICED!! Get better quality and value elsewhere. Service - poor to average I visit Melbourne’s most well known restaurants regularly, this place prices their food far to high for the quality, quantity and calibre of venue. Melbourne has several other Greek restaurants to choose from which are better quality and value.
