About Blu on Bell

Blu on Bell turns the classic chippery into a sit-down affair—wine list, tap beer, and cocktail bar included. Diners bypass takeaway paper for booth service and Greek warmth. The kitchen moves fast, grilling octopus and fresh rockling alongside lamb souvlaki for non-seafood eaters. Dedicated parking solves the Bell Street traffic headache, and meals finish on hot potato cakes and honey-drizzled loukoumades.

  • Full-Service Dining & Bar: Spacious sit-down dining room complete with local beers on tap, wine, and cocktails so you never have to eat out of paper wrap.
  • Taverna & Chippery Menu: Crispy battered fish and chips share the pass with char-grilled octopus, prawn saganaki, lamb souvlakis, and steak sandwiches.
  • Dedicated On-Site Parking: A dedicated private customer parking lot takes the stress out of pulling up along Bell Street.
