The Pontian Club

A young Collingwood crew's modern Greek share-plates room, famous for crab youvetsi and ouzo nights.

Warm, rustic-modern share-plates dining room with an open kitchen, craft paper on the tables and family photos on the walls. buzzy and loud when full, with sound bouncing off hard surfaces.

Ouzo served tavern-style in latte glasses, a small menu that changes frequently, an open kitchen cooking over fire, and a rotating homemade cake for dessert made by the owners' mums.

Reviewers are divided. most praise it as genuine, heartfelt modern Greek cooking, though a couple of Greek-heritage diners felt it strayed from traditional technique and flavour.

Mostly seen as generous and fairly priced for share-style modern Greek (around $200 for two with drinks per one detailed review), though a minority found portions small for the price.
