As pleasing for the eyes as it is for the palate, Hellenika is the dream destination for gathering, sharing, and enjoying. Located at The Pool Deck of The Calile Hotel, we think this Greek stalwart is one of the best restaurants in Brisbane for lunch, championing fresh produce in a mix of classic and innovative dishes in sublime, breeze-filled surroundings. Snap-happy diners will have plenty of fodder to capture, from their signature zucchini chips, taramasalata, Moreton Bay Bug spaghetti, and the absolute-must kolokithia.

Few spots compare to Hellenika’s terrace on a balmy Brisbane evening, with its trailing greenery, cushioned garden seats, the glitter of the hotel pool and promise of what could be Australia’s finest Greek cooking. It’s a mighty combination, made even more so by a discerning drinks line-up that marries rare Hellenic hits with good-time global labels. Whether you opt for a fixed-price feast or choose to freewheel, be sure to include something from the notable fish selection.

Contemporary Greek taverna Hellenika first arose on the Gold Coast, but has now welcomed a sister venue in equally stylish new hotel The Calile. While the restaurant is worth a visit for its statement interiors alone, its Hellenic fare has seen it become a fast favourite in the Brisbane dining scene. When it comes to what to order, the eggplant moussaka and spanakopita are worthy of a round of applause, but it’s the zucchini chips here that have achieved cult-like status.

After winning hearts on the Gold Coast, Hellenika's younger James Street sibling was like a siren’s song to Brisbane foodies, and though the OG may have departed the GC for good, Burleigh's loss was our gain. Within the Calile Hotel, this swanky spot boasts dishes up both a menu of hearty Greek dishes (for when you need to sate those baked lamb and moussaka cravings) and a smaller, bites-focused pool menu. We’re not really sure where evolution is meant to go from here.

A visit to James Street isn’t complete without a feast of delicious Greek food and people-watching at The Calile’s luxe poolside taverna, Hellenika. Style and sophistication can be found everywhere you look, from the glam group dining poolside cabanas to the waiters’ posh pink blazers, expansive wine and cocktail list and Greek favourites cooked to perfection. Don’t hold back from the Kolokithia (Hellenika’s zucchini chips), saganaki, fresh oysters or souvlakia.

Perch yourself by Hellenika’s poolside bar and Nick’s your uncle. The Calile Hotel’s signature restaurant happens to be one of Brisbane’s best Greek eateries, with all the zucchini chips, veal dolmades and grilled saganaki you can physically handle (which is a heck of a lot if you’re actually Greek – thanks for the stomach training, Yia yia). While you’re at it, get your hands on an Aphrodite martini and drink in strong Greek beachside vibes.
