About the Business
Welcome to Eleni's Kitchen Bar, a charming and authentic Greek restaurant located in the heart of Yarraville, Australia. Named after our beloved matriarch Eleni, our restaurant is a tribute to the rich culinary traditions of Greece.
At Eleni's, we are passionate about using high-quality ingredients and seasonal produce to create delicious Greek dishes. Our commitment to exceptional service and traditional cooking methods ensures that every visit to our restaurant is a celebration of Greek hospitality in Melbourne.
The idea for Eleni's Kitchen Bar was born from a conversation within our family, reminiscing about the good old days when our family owned various businesses in Yarraville. Among them was the first Greek restaurant, located opposite the iconic "Sun Theatre" in what is now known as the "Yarra Lounge." Inspired by this heritage, we decided to bring back traditional Greek food to Yarraville, where it all began.

Our highly sought-after outdoor area, Dimitri's Garden, is rain and windproof and equipped with heaters for those chilly Melbourne nights. Enjoying a meal in this beautiful space will transport you to Greece. On sunny days, you can also dine on "The Terrace," located just across from Eleni's and Dimitri's Garden.
To enhance your dining experience, we offer regular Greek entertainment, including live music from the renowned Greek band Aetos and thrilling plate smashing. It's a true celebration of Greek culture and tradition.
Indulge your sweet tooth with our delectable collection of continental and Greek desserts, as well as made-to-order celebration cakes. All of our desserts are lovingly crafted by our in-house pastry chefs, using only the finest quality ingredients. Whether you prefer modern creations or traditional favorites like Syropiasta (Baklava, Kataifi, Galaktoboureko, Yianniotiko) tray and Mati Baklava cake, we have something to satisfy every palate.
Our menu features a variety of mouthwatering dishes, including grilled Greek Kefalograviera cheese served with house-made fig jam, lamb or chicken served with tzatziki and salad, oven-baked peppers stuffed with rice, vegetables, and mixed herbs, and a selection of Greek specialties like Lamb & Chicken Gyros, Loukanika, Lamb Cutlets, Greek Rissoles, Pork Kalamakia, Tzatziki & Greek Salad.

Reviews
"Went here for a dinner for 2 adults+ 2 kids; it was our first time at the restaurant and the food was amazing! I'm normally very picky with my food and we've been to various well known Greek restaurants in Melbourne, Northcote, Brunswick, Oakleigh etc but haven't had such great food for a long time. We ordered grilled calamari, meat platter for two & feta chips. Food was flavourful, well marinated and good. Service and atmosphere was also great. Very cosy restaurant, great for date nights or dinner and drinks. So glad we found this hidden gem even though we drove some 20km to eat here, we will definitely be back with the extended family. The family's legacy is also an interesting read and it's great to see the tradition continuing with the next generation."
"Such a great gem in Yarraville. Always booked out and I can see why. Such huge generous portions, lots of vege and seafood options as an alternative to meat. Definitely will be going back!"
"Food was delicious. Very generous portions. Good value for money. Staff are lovely, friendly, accommodating and helpful. Will definitely be back."
"Recently visited Eleni’s Kitchen & Bar with a big group of family (approx 20ppl) expecting to have a beautiful experience, eating high quality Greek food. Unfortunately, we experienced the complete opposite! The quality of the food was disappointing. Meatballs were charcoal burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. We were given chicken that was also raw, leaving us hesitant to eat anything more. The staff were somewhat understanding and attempted to make some meals again, however the new food was still the same, appalling. Photos attached! Lastly we were informed when booking that it’s a set menu. However we were given platters that didn’t cater for the number of guests… 6 dinner rolls for 23 people… 4 skewers between 6 people… no galaktoboureko.. we left paying an excessive amount but tummies weren’t full and instead filled with disappointment and dissatisfaction! LUCKILY, company was beautiful! Will be going somewhere else on our next annual catch-up."
"Probably the most authentic Greek restaurant I’ve been to in Melbourne. From the hospitality of the waiter to of course the taste of the food. It was a great evening. We ordered the meat platter for three which could easily have been shared by 4 or 5. Papoutsakia was excellent! They also had some outstanding specials including a dish with long horn peppers which was our favourite. Saganaki was a classic! And their dips are a must try. All the food arrived within 10 minutes of one another - we left feeling very very full which is a shame because their desserts sounded and looked unbelievable!"
