You can't help but feel relaxed when there's a game of beach cricket in progress just a stone's throw away from your dining table. As views go, it doesn't get much better than the azure Fleurieu Peninsula coast visible from clifftop restaurant Star of Greece. And it's a beautiful backdrop for informal dining.
Star of Greece doesn't do silver service, that was never the aim. The goal here is welcoming, simple and fresh, a goal that has informed chef Michael Collins' Med-inspired menu.
Collins, who completed his apprenticeship at the Victory Hotel, worked his way up from sous chef to joint head chef at Star of Greece, before taking the top job in 2022. After more than 15 years of experience in the region his connection to local producers and produce permeates the menu.
