New Greek restaurant Astoria Bar Kè Grill opens in South Yarra

·

South Yarra has welcomed a fresh addition to its dining scene with the opening of Astoria Bar Kè Grill, a Greek restaurant offering traditional dishes with a contemporary twist.

The venue, located in the former Shadowboxer space on Toorak Road, is the brainchild of seasoned hospitality professional Nik Pouloupatis, whose 35-year career includes stints at renowned Melbourne restaurants such as Grossi Florentino, Attica, and Vue de Monde.

While the restaurant’s design remains largely unchanged, with only a fresh coat of paint and new furniture, the front terrace remains the ideal spot for leisurely drinks or long lunches under the sun.

Astoria Bar Kè Grill’s menu features classic Greek fare, including house-made spanakopita, zucchini fritters with tzatziki, pan-seared saganaki, and prawns with oven-baked tomatoes and feta.

Main dishes, perfect for sharing, include seared snapper with asparagus and mussels, lamb stew with kritharaki (youvetsi), and vegetarian moussaka.

The drink list features a selection of Greek and Australian wines, beers, as well as a range of cocktails and mocktails.
