Manta takeover brings Athenian Riviera to Sydney

·

Manta, the stunning waterfront restaurant at Woolloomooloo Wharf, is set to bring the flavours and atmosphere of the Athenian Riviera to Sydney with an exclusive two-week dining experience featuring acclaimed Greek chef Ntinos Fotinakis.

Running from 21 March to 6 April, the “A Taste of Greece” takeover will transport guests to a lively Mediterranean taverna, offering an immersive celebration of Greek hospitality, fresh local produce, and masterful culinary techniques.

Fotinakis, executive chef of the renowned Bungalow 7 at One&Only Aesthesis in Athens, has worked alongside Heston Blumenthal and trained under Michelin-starred chef Jacques Le Divellec.

At Manta, he will personally greet guests, present surprise dishes, and add tableside finishing touches, ensuring an intimate and authentic Greek dining experience.

Inspired by Manta’s focus on premium land and sea produce, the menus will showcase Fotinakis’ signature fusion of Greek tradition and modern techniques.

The à la carte and set menus will feature a variety of mezze, including moussaka croquettes, taramasalata with smoked yuzu, and spanakorizo (Greek spinach and rice) gyoza. Large plates will offer slow-cooked lamb shoulder, short rib pasta, and snapper with potato skordalia and cherry tomato salad. A standout dish is the signature Astakomakaronada, featuring live eastern rock lobster with linguine, tomato, and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Complementing the cuisine, the drinks list will highlight the finest Greek offerings, including handcrafted ouzo and mastiha cocktails, as well as native Assyrtiko and Moschofilero wine varietals.

This exclusive dining collaboration will be available for lunch and dinner daily throughout the two-week takeover. With limited availability, guests are encouraged to secure their reservations early.
