10 Best Greek Restaurants in Brisbane

Brisbane’s Greek restaurants range from waterfront mezze and wine-led occasions to casual yiros, family celebrations and shared banquets. The right choice depends less on a single dish than on the atmosphere, format and practical needs of your group.

Compare whether you want a long lunch, quick takeaway, live music or a celebration, then look at banquet formats, vegetarian choices, children’s menus, drinks and event catering. Location also varies from the CBD and South Brisbane to Tingalpa, West End, Newstead and Wellington Point.
