Here at Ela Mesa, we’re all about making you feel at home and at the same time feel like you’re in Greece, by the water. Maria and her staff will bring you the warmth of Greek hospitality with a focus on traditional food, heartfelt service and a welcoming atmosphere.
Our menu brings together the best of traditional Greek cooking with fresh seafood, a selection of meat and chicken dishes including melt in the mouth Lamb, classic vegetarian dishes and handmade desserts. Whether you’re here for a relaxed lunch, a shared dinner, or just coffee and cake, we focus on quality ingredients and the flavours of the Mediterranean.
A choice of the Greek Street or the Ela Mesa. Perfect for sharing, featuring favourites like char-grilled meats, seafood, dips and salads, designed to bring people together and feel like you’re all gathering in grandma’s Greek kitchen.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our local seafood and meats which are freshly bought and brought in from Sydney.
Drop in for a Greek coffee, house-made gelato or a slice of baklava. Whether you’re staying for a while or just passing through, there’s always something to enjoy.
At Ela Mesa, traditional Greek food is the connection that brings us together. We bring the same spirit to every dish and every guest. Our vision is simple: to create the atmosphere of a Greek Taverna, so you could imagine yourself in a village nestled in the hills of Greece. A place that feels like home or like a European vacation. No pretence, nothing restyled or modernised. Just down to earth cooking, warm hospitality and the kind of care that keeps you coming back over and over again. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we’re here to give you a wonderful experience.
