MELBOURNE’S BEST GREEK FOOD - STALACTITES
Did you know, that Melbourne is the 3rd largest Greek community in the world after Greece and Cyprus? ✨🔥
Our local tour guide recommended us this restaurant to try the best Greek food and hence I would like to share this recommendation with you!
📍: STALACTITES | Stalactites Restaurant
We ordered:
1. Mixed Giros Souvlaki platter : Mixture of pork and lamb. Wanted to try both meats and not just the usual pork option I would have gone for. I am not a lamb person due the gamey smell but this was done really well.
Also- the pork meat was extremely lean and not fatty at all. I loved the roast!
2. Get the HOMEMADE DIP Tzatziki : homemade yoghurt with sliced cucumbers to go with. This will pair well with your meat platter giving a nice refreshing taste!
3. COFFEE / TEA - Greek coffee and Hot chocolate is highly recommended✨
4. DESSERT - they are famous for their Baklava. Unfortunately we were so stuffed we didn’t manage to try it. But reviews mentioned these were very fresh and homemade so what a pity! If you do go, would suggest to save your stomach for it :)
Overall - this was a SPLENDID recommendation from our tour guide and not a taste I could find back home. 🔥✨
