GREEK ODYSSEY
DATE & TIME: 6.30pm, Wednesday, 22 May 2024
Join Gourmet Traveller editor Joanna Hunkin and luxury travel specialists Abercrombie & Kent for an evening of Greek celebration at Melbourne’s Kafeneoin. Escape to the warm waters of the Mediterranean as we celebrate the new, permanent home of Kafeneion on Spring Street with a shared feast of traditional Greek favourites, inspired by the owners’ own family recipes. Originally established as a pop-up on Bourke Street, Kafeneion co-owners Stavros Konis and Con Christopoulos quickly realised they were onto a good thing. As word spread of the simple-yet-vibrant menu – which is built on dishes passed through the team’s families for generations – the race was on to find somewhere to continue the legacy.
Now, following a brief absence, Kafeneion is back, taking over The Supper Club for dinner service (with the late-night favourite still in action from 11pm each night). And what better place to settle in for an evening of good food and great conversation, as we celebrate the rich history of Greece and share stories of adventures old and new. Join us as executive chef Fellipe Mezzavilla immerses us in the flavours of Greece and inspires new journeys to come.
