Rated as one of the best 10 restaurants in Australia and one of the Dinners Club Top 50 Restaurants in The World it is just a 50 metre walk away. This is very high end and quite expensive dining but from all reports it is worth it.

Jimmy remembered the best souvlaki recipes from the old country, then added little touches from the new. Succulent, delicately spiced meats.
Fresh salads & conversation-stopping sides. Something sweet for dessert.
