Story

Alpha Restaurant is synonymous with Greek generosity and hospitality. The menu, by acclaimed chef Peter Conistis, nods to both traditional and contemporary Greek cooking. In his interpretations of time-honoured recipes, Conistis utilises the best local ingredients with many dishes cooked in the wood-fired oven (imported from Greece), on the rotisserie or over the charcoal grill.

Signature dishes include Conistis’ ever popular Moussaka of eggplant with seared scallops and Greek spiced slow roasted lamb shoulder.
The restaurant occupies an historic Victorian building in the heart of the CBD, also home to the Hellenic Club, which has long been a meeting place and centre of Greek culture for migrants, shopkeepers and businesses.

Designed by DS17’s Paul Papadopoulos, Alpha’s dining room nods to the Greek islands with whitewashed walls, earthy tones, lamps resembling fishing nets and a sandstone wall engraved with letters of the Greek alphabet. Our private room on the lower ground floor is an ideal place for elegant celebrations and feasts.

Alpha Foodstore and Café is situated alongside the restaurant and sells Greek artisanal products such as wild herb honeys, jams, traditional pasta and regional olive oils. Our café is open all day. It’s the place for a fix of traditional Greek coffee, artisan tea, and Greek inspired pastries such as halva brownie and our famous baklava muffin.
