The Hellenic Republic

The Hellenic Republic is always busy which is a result of its good quality food and reasonable prices (around $20 for a main). If you go there you MUST order the Kefalograviera saganaki for starters which I think is the absolute highlight of the menu. For mains I recommend ordering seafood or lamb but wouldn't recommend having dessert as I think it is overpriced for what's on offer. Another draw card for this restaurant is that it is owned by George Calombaris from MasterChef.
