It's Authentic, It's Tasty, It's Greek!
Combining local Australian produce with traditional Greek street cuisine.
Embedded in Melbourne culture, Souvlaki GR continues to pay homage our family recipes and traditional roots by providing authentic gyros on charcoal, just like Pappou used to do!
We support local producers and businesses while showcasing our passion and traditions to local communities, bringing them to the shores of Greece with every bite!
When you take great Greek food and the famous Hellenic spirit and add it to eclectic Brunswick East, you get Melbourne's hottest Greek taverna - an exciting culinary destination that will leave you wanting more.
Hellenic Republic is the place to experience traditional Greek tavern cuisine with a fresh twist; where kefalograviera saganaki is served with sweet peppered figs; local wines are served by the half-kilo and whole char-grilled fish is presented with a vase of lavender hiding a bottle of traditional lathalemono lemon dressing.
Our food philosophy is simple – fantastic, fresh produce to prepare traditional recipes in a clean, contemporary style. We recommend our sharing Trapezi menu as the best way to dine at Hellenic Republic. Let our chefs prepare a selection of their finest for you to share with loved ones at your table.
This is a busy and bustling restaurant, it is noisy and brash and very Greek. We welcome you to our home and hope that you enjoy your time at our Hellenic Republic.

Efendy continues to be the leading Turkish restaurant in Sydney after a decade since opening its doors. The large, relaxed dining courtyard leads into a two-storey Victorian house where there is downstairs and upstairs dining. Downstairs has a cosy and relaxed ambience with a mix of wooden tables, chairs and benches with bright coloured cushions, stained glass windows and posters of Turkish movies on the wall. Upstairs, the vibe is more Mediterranean coastal with blue and white hues.
