Tsindos Greek Restaurant, a long-standing fixture of Melbourne’s Greek precinct on Lonsdale Street, has entered voluntary liquidation after more than 40 years of operation.
A notice filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on Monday confirmed the appointment of insolvency expert Mark Brereton of HoganSprowles as liquidator.
Established in 1970 by Harry and Eleni Tsindos and officially opened in 1983, the family-run restaurant has been managed by Eleftheria and Fred Tsindos since 1984, with their son Harry Tsindos Jnr overseeing operations for the past decade.
Known for its traditional Greek cuisine, including banquets, seafood, meats, mezes and salads, the venue operated from a three-level building that sold in 2019 for around $8.1 million to a Taiwan-based buyer.
The restaurant’s closure marks another loss for Melbourne’s once-thriving Greek precinct, following the closure of International Cakes, the last remaining bakery in the area.
