PM Anthony Albanese’s favourite Sydney eats include a beloved Greek taverna

·

When it comes to food, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has a soft spot for local favourites—and a classic Greek taverna tops his list. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, about his go-to dining spots, the PM revealed his favourite restaurant is none other than Corinthian Rotisserie in Marrickville.

Few relationships are as solid as the one between Albanese and George Giannakelos, the owner of Corinthian Rotisserie. The federal member for Grayndler named the Greek institution as his top pick in Sydney—”and not just because it’s across the road from his office.” “Amazing lamb, great calamari,” Albanese said.

George Giannakelos knows his order by heart: “He gets the cold entree, roast lamb and Greek salad.” That cold entree is a feast in itself, featuring a mixed platter of tzatziki, taramasalata, skordalia, dolmades and octopus in vinaigrette. “It’s enough to feed about six,” the prime minister added.

The Corinthian has been serving traditional Greek fare for 44 years, and Albanese has been a regular for the past 20. It’s not just the food that keeps him coming back—it’s the familiar, welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like home.
