Upon entering this old school Greek place, the front of house theatre kicks off before the door could even close behind me. A blackboard of Alpha Ouzeri specials is brought to the table for closer inspection.
Head chef Harry Tsiukardanis opened the doors of his ouzeri (not tavern) in 2008 and since continued his love with creative Greek cuisine. Seasonal produce is incorporated into his traditional classic favourites with new dishes added to the menu regularly.
Eat: We opted for the Ouzeri menu, to sample the truly unique traditional range of the house mezethes (tasting plates). Good thing we came with hungry eyes and empty stomachs as the delivery of dishes seemed endless.

Drink: For a night cap, stroll down to Black Pearl (304 Brunswick St Fitzroy) and head upstairs to the Attic. Ring the bell and enter to experience table service and some of the best cocktails in town. If it's not on the list, no problem. All requests are accommodated. Evan (the waiter), kept us in good spirits.
