Welcome home to Greek food like your mum used to make

Story

John’s enthusiasm for small plates and a home cooked meal is addressed in the name and on the menu, he does his best to make everyone feel part of his “spiti” his home.

Philip, of Masterchef fame, has brought the knowledge he learnt on the show from star chefs, as well as the experience he has garnered in his time in Melbourne to Spitiko. His in kitchen pays homage to the good old days of simplicity and freshness, as well as bringing in his personal modern Greek twists to a few old classics. An active specials board compliments the simple menu with such specials as succulent, crispy skin lamb on the spit every Thursday.

Make sure you checkout the pictures of John’s grandma and the other memories he has collected from customers and relatives all over the restaurant. This, along with the live music during the week take you down memory lane to the 60s and 70s reminding you of what it was like growing up in the Greek part of Melbourne.

Spitiko offers so much to those in search of not only a mezze, a meal or a drink but also a memory.
