A night with Greek football legends at Sydney’s hottest new taverna

·

Sydney’s culinary scene is about to welcome a vibrant new addition with the opening of Olympus, a Greek-inspired garden taverna in Surry Hills by acclaimed chef Jonathan Barthelmess, known for The Apollo. To mark the occasion, Football Brilliance Academy and Liberty IT are hosting a special dinner on Thursday, December 12 from 6.30pm, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Greece’s historic European football victory.

This exclusive event offers the chance to dine alongside Greek football icons George Karagounis, Theodoros Zagorakis, and Angelos Charisteas, along with special VIP guests and diplomatic representatives. Guests will enjoy a lively Q&A, a meet-and-greet with the legends, and a curated menu that promises an unforgettable culinary experience.

The 200-seat venue will be led by head chef Ozge Kalvo, whose Turkish-Greek heritage and experience at celebrated Sydney establishments Ester and Baba’s Place bring a unique flair to the kitchen.

“Ozge’s deep cultural connection and mastery of fire-cooking techniques make her the perfect fit for Olympus,” Barthelmess said. “Her dishes honour tradition while offering a contemporary edge.”

George Karagounis will be at the event.

Inspired by recent travels to Greece, Olympus captures the essence of Greek village hospitality with a focus on abundance and celebration. This is a night for food lovers and football fans alike to savour a slice of Greece in the heart of Sydney.

Liberty IT CEO John Dimitropoulos said, “It’s an absolute honour to host such talented superstars in Sydney; we are incredibly excited for what is sure to be an incredible night!”
