• European • Oakleigh

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.

We celebrated our parent's wedding anniversary over lunch at Elenika & Co. with 26 people and it was excellent. The food was delicious and generous. The service was exceptional. Definitively value for money with BYO wine option. The team was friendly and accommodated us with high chairs and a pram as well. This is our second time here with a group and we will come again. Thank you so much!
