• European • Oakleigh

Booked 33 times today

Caffé Greco, Melbourne’s iconic dining institution and meeting place, is reopening after three decades in Oakleigh. Its origins trace back to the inspiring story of Nick Madalena, a Greek man who journeyed to Rome in 1760, founding the original Caffè Greco, which has since become a revered national institution in Italy, celebrated for over 260 years. This tale of migration and the pursuit of a better life is what motivated Nick Zampelis to establish a Melbourne branch of Caffé Greco, continuing a legacy of cultural exchange and community that spans centuries.As Melbourne’s own Caffé Greco reopens, it draws from this rich heritage of bringing together diverse minds, continuing the tradition of being a cultural meeting point where patrons can not only enjoy fine coffee but also engage in the kind of conversation and creativity that defined its Roman predecessor.

Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

Small portion size for the price, food itself was very tasty. Soft tofu dish is the winner, good drink menu. great spot for a hangout with not too much noise. Toilet needs a little update or cleaning.

Atlas Dining is one of, if not our favourite in Melbourne. It's our go to for relaxed fine dining where you can experience new cuisines and flavours in a great space and with amazing staff. It was our first time eating there in a while just due to life, but it was so good to be back! We love both real Mexican and Tex Mex, and this felt like such a fantastic combination of the two. All the courses were outstanding, but special praise is definitely for the woodfired pecan pie. It was incredible!! Our only complaint is that we could have eaten a couple more each it was so good!!
