Helios Hotel sounds like a pub, but it’s a three-storey Greek restaurant for 300 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite its name, Malvern’s new three-storey Helios Hotel isn’t a pub. It’s a modern Greek restaurant by an Athenian chef with ambitions to match its 300-person capacity. “We didn’t call it a ‘hotel’ because we want it to be casual, but because we want people to feel that this is a gathering place,” says chef Ioannis Kasidokostas, who – alongside his wife and business partner Maria Tsilfoglou – is behind the Glenferrie Road newcomer.

One of Melbourne’s most internationally regarded cocktail spots is among a spate of restaurant and bar closures across the city.

Melbourne is brimming with old-school Vietnamese bakeries that have been serving banh mi for decades. But Van Son “Steve” Nguyen saw room for something new-school. “We have so many modern Japanese, Korean, Thai bakeries and brunch spots, but we don’t see so much Vietnamese in the mix,” he says. So, along with his wife Diep Anh “Cassie” Tran, he’s opened their dream bakery, the innovative May Bakes, in Richmond.

You have reached your maximum number of saved items. Remove items from your saved list to add more. When it comes to dining out, Fairfield – six kilometres north-east of the CBD – has long lived in the shadows of neighbouring suburbs. It doesn’t have the standard-setting hatted restaurants of Kew, or the once “coolest street in the world” claim to fame of High Street, stretching north from nearby Northcote. Fairfield’s main drag, Station Street, is often overlooked as somewhat of a thoroughfare,
