Alpha Ouzeri

Praised by many Melburnians, Alpha Ouzeri in Fitzroy dishes out a Greek restaurant experience you won't soon forget. Often bustling with a crowd, an energetic vibe flows through this restaurant, warmly decorated with honey wooden flooring, plush red backed banquettes, chalkboard menus and a large block colour portrait of a Greek café scene. As many regulars will tell you, Alpha Ouzeri specialises in traditional Hellenic fare, showcased on a menu of succulent meats, seafood, platters and sides. Begin with Cypriot herb pork sausages before tucking into a flavoursome main like moussaka or chargrilled pork souvlaki served with green salad, baked potatoes, pita bread and tzatziki. Room for dessert should be spared, with options like sticky baklava squares or loukoumades (Greek honey donuts).
