Eleni’s Kitchen and Bar in Yarraville to reopen months after fire

·

Much-loved Greek restaurant Eleni’s Kitchen & Bar in Yarraville will reopen for business on Wednesday, November 13, less than five months after a fire tore through the premises.

Eleni’s Kitchen & Bar closed in June this year after a suspicious fire charred the entire interior of the family-owned restaurant. The only thing that remained intact was a photo of Father Antonis Amanatidis, the great-grandfather of the restaurant’s co-owners and sisters Anatoli and Eleftheria Amanatidis.

In a post on Instagram, Anatoli and Eleftheria announced they would be “firing up the charcoals” again on November 13 and welcoming customers to enjoy some of their Greek favourites.

“Join us as we celebrate family, food, and the incredible strength and solidarity of our community,” the post read. “We look forward to welcoming you all back.”

The sisters also extended their thanks to the community, their customers, suppliers, and family for their support over the past few months.

“Your kind words and messages of support have encouraged us to continue our work and to lift us during this challenging time, reminding us of the deep connection we share with each one of you,” the post added.
 
“Our appreciation goes out to all the skilled tradespeople and the entire Eleni’s team who have worked tirelessly to restore Eleni’s back to the dining room you have become accustomed to at Yiayia’s house. We are blessed to have so many friends and family.”
