Alpha

The verdict

Forming part of the Hellenic club of Sydney, Alpha comprises an artisan food store, cantina, meze bar, café and restaurant within a beautifully appointed, vast, light space.

Founder Peter Consistis offers a contemporary interpretation on traditional Greek food, with tasty dishes that will please both delicate palates and seasoned Greek food lovers. From the taramasalata (served with melt in your mouth pita bread) to the oh-so succulent slow cooked lamb, the food is simple and full of alllll the best flavours.

The breakfast menu (yes, they do breakfast!) features a Greek twist on old school classics, such as the bacon and egg pita and avo on toast with olives but don't go home without trying the baklava muffin. The honey-spiced loaded muffin is topped with Alpha's signature chocolate hazelnut baklava and tastes even better than it sounds. Trust us.
