The Apollo

The Apollo has fast become one of Sydney’s hotspots, and it is easy to see why. Located in the heart of Potts Point, this Greek restaurant ticks all the necessary boxes- great food, great service and a great atmosphere. The interior is rustic and stripped back, with the bare walls, timber tables and exposed ceiling crafting a sleek and sexy, yet surprisingly unpretentious vibe. The Apollo is perfect for large groups as they take reservations, offer a set menu and the food is presented in easy to share, traditional family style plates plonked in the middle of the table (going in a group also means you can make a reservation to prevent waiting). The staff was thoroughly attentive and polite, always lingering to help, but never imposing. I must admit, the service is what really made our evening because as I say time and time again, good wait staff is hard to come by. Onto the most important part though- the food. The set menu provides a flow of courses, beginning with grilled pita bread and taramasalata alongside a bowl of marinated olives, followed by a fried saganaki cheese glazed in honey and oregano (my favourite part of the menu!). Moving onto the next phase of the meal, you get a traditional Greek salad made with beautifully fresh tomatoes and a large slab of fetta, along with roast chat potatoes and the tenderest marinated lamb served with tzatziki. Finally, the meal finishes off with their own version of a baklava- warm filo pastry with coffee and cream. All components of the meal worked, and there was enough food to feed an army, so nobody will be left hungry, and at $55 a head it is pretty good value. My only wish is that there would have been a few more greens served with the meat and potatoes, but other then that, I couldn’t fault the menu. Whilst you are at it, make sure you indulge in their cocktail menu. They have quite a few signatures on it, and most of it is composed of bitter or citrusy drinks, however the flavours work well as an accompaniment to the food, especially the sweeter courses. Alternatively, have a few shots of ouzo and give yourself the full Greek experience. The Apollo lived up to the hype- Jonathan Barthelmess and Sam Christie hit the nail on the head with this one. They have managed to create the right blend of food, atmosphere and value in the heart of Sydney. If you haven’t already made your way down, get there pronto!

Moving onto the next phase of the meal, you get a traditional Greek salad made with beautifully fresh tomatoes and a large slab of fetta, along with roast chat potatoes and the tenderest marinated lamb served with tzatziki. Finally, the meal finishes off with their own version of a baklava- warm filo pastry with coffee and cream. All components of the meal worked, and there was enough food to feed an army, so nobody will be left hungry, and at $55 a head it is pretty good value. My only wish is that there would have been a few more greens served with the meat and potatoes, but other then that, I couldn’t fault the menu. Whilst you are at it, make sure you indulge in their cocktail menu. They have quite a few signatures on it, and most of it is composed of bitter or citrusy drinks, however the flavours work well as an accompaniment to the food, especially the sweeter courses. Alternatively, have a few shots of ouzo and give yourself the full Greek experience. The Apollo lived up to the hype- Jonathan Barthelmess and Sam Christie hit the nail on the head with this one. They have managed to create the right blend of food, atmosphere and value in the heart of Sydney. If you haven’t already made your way down, get there pronto!

The Apollo has fast become one of Sydney’s hotspots, and it is easy to see why. Located in the heart of Potts Point, this Greek restaurant ticks all the necessary boxes- great food, great service and a great atmosphere. The interior is rustic and stripped back, with the bare walls, timber tables and exposed ceiling crafting a sleek and sexy, yet surprisingly unpretentious vibe. The Apollo is perfect for large groups as they take reservations, offer a set menu and the food is presented in easy to share, traditional family style plates plonked in the middle of the table (going in a group also means you can make a reservation to prevent waiting). The staff was thoroughly attentive and polite, always lingering to help, but never imposing. I must admit, the service is what really made our evening because as I say time and time again, good wait staff is hard to come by. Onto the most important part though- the food. The set menu provides a flow of courses, beginning with grilled pita bread and taramasalata alongside a bowl of marinated olives, followed by a fried saganaki cheese glazed in honey and oregano (my favourite part of the menu!).
