Achilles Tavern

If you're looking for authentic Greek flavours and fresh produce, then Achilles and Gianis will transport you to Greece. The ambience and intimate setting in addition to live Greek music the first Friday of every month truly adds to your culinary experience.

On the way back from Geelong I was starving. I remember a colleague recommending a Greek restaurant and all I remembered was that it would be the first one on my drive home. The moment I was outside I knew I had the right place.the smells.divine! No regrets! Feast for all senses! The seafood was so fresh! The lamb.the best I have had! I have found my Greek paradise!

Had a family lunch for my daughters birthday.very accommodating staff, food was fantastic. Staff offered my granddaughters ice cream which of course was graciously accepted. They were over the moon.birthday cake AND ice cream!
We will definitely be back!

OMGG!

Food was absolutely amazing and so fresh! Tavern was very clean and an amazing atmosphere! We will be back very soon!

Congratulations To the owners Achilles and Yianni

Consistently excellent food. With different specials to add variety. Very friendly owner and lovely staff. Comfortable easy going atmosphere. Always enjoy coming here.

The set menu was perfect! Food was extremely delicious with good sized portions. Will definitely be back

Good food, great stuff but was disappointed by the $15.00 surcharge per bottle of wine given we open and poured ourselves in the same glass. Also got charged for 1 uponed bottle as it was bought into the shop.

Just another Greek style tavern trying very hard to recreate the amazing tavern experience one can only get when in Greece. Upon arrival we were advised that we could only have the banquet (I've spent many years in Greece and never once did I visit a tavern that had a banquet let alone an obligatory one). Members of our party attempted to order a 200ml bottle of ouzo (something every single taverna in Greece offers) only to be told this wasn't an option. Nor was ordering a full sized bottle of ouzo. They could however offer individual glasses of ouzo. When the ouzo arrived, each glass was already filled with ice. When tasting the ouzo it was clear that it was watered down. The waiter was approached and we were fed some rubbish story about how they usually pour the ouzo and then add the ice but on this occasion they added the ouzo over the ice. The reason they don't serve bottles of ouzo is because they want to charge premium prices for watered down liquor.
I'll never return to this so called Greek tavern nor will I recommend it. Save your money folks and then buy an air fare to Greece to experience authentic Greek hospitality because you won't find it here.

Had an excellent night. Food, staff, venue, atmosphere everything wad fantastic. Wiil definately go again

Great food and most friendly staff. Once a month there's a Greek band playing. Greek coffee and desserts are fantastic

Love the ambiance and the food. Delicious and very presentable. Perfect for the family and friends.

Best Greek restaurant in Melbourne. Amazing friendly service and the food had a delicious home made feeling. Our hearts and tummies are full and satisfied.

Enjoyed a nice Greek cruisine after a long time. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Lovely setting.

Friendly and hospitable staff. Very welcoming. Real homely food made with love and passion. Everything tasted amazing. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect.

Excellent food, friendly staff and good size servings make this tasty Greek restaurant a "must go to" in lockdown Malvern East. Will be back.

Great food, the meat was cooked perfectly! Service was fantastic on our takeaway experience. The wild mushrooms are a must. The pita was a little on the stale side which was a bummer but overall a lovely experience.

Awesome food! Authentic Greek style plates and eating. Meals are huge like most Greek restaurants. Perfect portions. Owner is an absolute delight to have a chat with. Food does take a while to make so have patience but 100% worth it!
