Hellenika at The Calile – Restaurant Review
The Gold Coast’s favourite Greek restaurant now has a sister venue with her own distinctly urban style. While the menu is almost the same, there’s nary a hint of the easy-breezy, casual vibe of the Nobby Beach outlet here.
The smart dining room echoes the architectural design of the hotel in which it’s located, featuring sleek lines, light-hued timber, terrazzo-tiled floors and pops of brass. The outdoor section, with its crisp white tablecloths and large potted olive trees, is an exemplar of resort-style dining. Whether you settle in for the hearty nine-course banquet or just stop by for a spritz and a saganaki snack, you’re guaranteed quality people-watching from your vantage point overlooking the pool deck.
