George Calombaris returns to Melbourne with Auto Greek pop-up

·

George Calombaris is returning to Melbourne’s hospitality scene with Auto Greek, a one-month pop-up opening February 27 at Bar Yarra inside Ovolo Melbourne South Yarra, his first new local venue in three years.

Calombaris said the move marks a careful re-entry after recent years in Sydney.

“I haven’t left, my heart is in Victoria,” he said, adding the pop-up was “a great way to re-enter Melbourne.”

The all-day diner will serve modern Greek dishes priced under $30.

Calombaris said he is open to a permanent return, describing the opportunity as “a gift” and saying he is “excited for my second chapter.”
