Mr Spiros Handmade Yiros has opened at Nobby Beach, bringing traditional Greek flavours and family recipes to the Gold Coast through a deeply personal venture by owner Peter Gloftis.
With roots in Macedonia, Greece, Gloftis said the inspiration for the restaurant “stems from my childhood,” recalling family celebrations centred on whole lamb cooked on a hand-turned rotisserie.
Everything at Mr Spiros is made in-house, from pita bread and dips to sauces, with Gloftis describing the approach as “hand-cut, handcrafted work” in contrast to mass production.
The menu centres on a signature lamb yiros with traditional chips and mustard mayonnaise, refined from family recipes for modern tastes.
Gloftis chose Nobby Beach for its “sleepy, beachside charm” and said he plans to keep the business intentionally small, focusing on quality, intimacy and genuine customer connection.
Mr Spiros Handmade Yiros is located in the Atrium at The Oxley, 1823 Lavarack Road, Nobby Beach.
