Adelaide's lively 'eat street' welcomes traditional Greek cuisine. The Greek Mezze (pronounced 'mez-ah') is an impressive addition to the city's popular dining destination - Gouger Street.

Opened in February 2006, the Greek Mezze serves authentic Greek fare with a fresh, modern style. In Greece, mezze are mini dishes designed to complement beverage, tease the taste buds and encourage diners to linger around a table for good conversation.

In Gouger Street, mezze platters at the Greek Mezze include tasty dolmades (vine leaves filled with fresh herbs and rice); spanakopita (spinach and fetta in phyllo pastry); calamari, octopus, whitebait and bakaliaro (preserved fish); moussaka (lamb, eggplant, tomato and cheese); keftedes (meatballs); krokettes (zucchini and fetta patties) served with skordalia (garlic and potato dip); tis skaras ortiki (marinated quail scented with rosemary); louckania (pork and orange sausage) and two styles of cheese, haloumi and the pan fried saganaki me kefalogravera.

Proprietor Ron Masullo together with Chris Hronopoulos and chef Steve Tsambits have created a tempting menu of traditional style marinades. Main course highlights include arni cutlets (lamb cutlets char grilled in a vegetable tourlu), katsiki furno
( braised baby goat and potato) and garides saganaki (prawns cooked with tomato and fetta).

"We offer a lively atmosphere with the Greek dining that's unique along Gouger Street," says Ron Masullo.

Seating up to 85 patrons, the restaurant's de core is sleek and contemporary featuring scenic black and white photographs of Greece taken by Ron on recent travels to exotic Greek Isles. The stylish setting provides an ideal location for work functions and group celebrations.
