Greek hospitality meets harbour views at Sydney’s newest spot, Akti

·

Sydney’s iconic Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf has received a vibrant Greek twist with the recent opening of Akti, a contemporary Greek restaurant.

Operated by the Sydney Restaurant Group — known for its waterfront venues — Akti pays tribute to the founders’ Hellenic roots and the area’s historic significance as a landing point for Greek migrants in the 1950s.

Founder Bill Drakopoulos says the venue honours the Greek spirit of filoxenia (wholehearted hospitality), while head chef Robert Judd (ex-Hellenika) and Athens-based consultant Ntinos Fotinakis bring a modern approach to nostalgic Greek flavours.

Expect standout Australian seafood dishes, moussaka croquettes, smoking lamb shoulder, and a theatrical take on galaktoboureko.

The drinks list is equally inventive, featuring Greek Australian wines and playful cocktails like a Greek salad martini and tzatziki-inspired mix, crafted by Nicola Drakopoulos and Fotinakis.

With views, history, and flavour, Akti is set to become a new favourite on the wharf.
