About A LA GRECQUE

Coastal Greek cooking anchors this Aireys Inlet outpost on the Great Ocean Road, trading typical pub grub for generous Mediterranean fare. Long road trips give way to airy deck tables or indoor seats beside a wood-burning log fire. Road-weary travelers skip the ordering decisions entirely by requesting the kitchen's Kali Orexi banquet—a steady procession of crisp spanakopita, grilled kefalograviera, and meltingly tender slow-cooked lamb served with tzatziki and warm pita.

  • Chef's Selection Banquet: Eliminate ordering stress with the multi-course Kali Orexi banquet, sending out seasonal dishes and share plates curated by the kitchen.
  • Coastal Greek Staples: Traditional Hellenic staples take center stage, featuring crisp spanakopita, light taramasalata, grilled kefalograviera, and slow-cooked lamb.
  • Log Fireplace Warmth: An operational wood-burning log fire warms the dining room on crisp Southern Ocean afternoons and chilly evenings.

  • Transportive Mediterranean Setting

    Aireys Inlet diners experience an evocative Mediterranean ambiance that transports them far from the coastal highway into a traditional Greek tavern vibe.

    The little magic that keeps me coming back again and again is how it makes me feel like I’m in Greece for an hour or so,. Truly transportive.

  • Welcoming Multi-Generational Gatherings

    Whether visiting with toddlers needing highchairs or bringing multiple generations together, the spacious outdoor deck and lawn welcome every age group.

    I was with my mum and my 15 month old, he absolutely loved the food too. We sat outside on the deck with his highchair and it was super relaxing.

  • Warm Hearth and Fireside Hospitality

    Cold Great Ocean Road days are met with a burning log fireplace that provides comforting warmth and genuine, home-like hospitality indoors.

    We felt super welcomed by the fireplace which was a pleasure surprise, especially on a cold night. It felt super homey.
