• European • Oakleigh

Booked 42 times today

Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.

We booked the pre theatre option at Pure South Dining. The preset menu was amazing, beautifully presented and all courses were delicious. Their service was friendly and professional. The view over the Yarra was fabulous. We finished our meal with plenty of time to get to our theatre booking. We will return.

Tried this nice little cafe for the first time, really good food & ambience nice. Service was ok. Although food good, value these days is not great. Food is already over priced and marked up even more now for what you get. Then to have a surcharge of 10% on top on a Saturday. Surcharges are ridiculous and unacceptable.
