Melbourne couple Susie and John Rerakis open new cafe

·

Susie and John Rerakis, the former owners of Philhellene restaurant at Moonee Ponds in Victoria, have recently opened Athos Cafe in Strathmore.

The husband-and-wife team told The Herald Sun they will sell traditional Greek food such as baklava and moussaka at their new cafe, but the menu will change every day.

All their produce will be fresh from the garden.

“I do have the best set up, using reclaimed recycled materials. In the cafe we’ll use dill, mint, parsley, leeks and silverbeet – everything that’s looking great, we’ll use,” John said.

John added that he will also continue to champion regional Crete cuisine on the menu, while there will also be a grab-and-go meal counter.
