Olympia Wine

Greek$

Oakleigh basks in the glory of all things Greek, but Olympia takes it a step further. An old car park above Oakleigh Market is now a double-decker ode to the Greek Islands, its rooftop bar whitewashed, with ocean blue shutters and a stone-look floor. The menu is just as on-theme: espresso martinis are shaken with Greek coffee liqueur, and there are crisp saganaki croquettes and soutzoukakia, the Greek meatballs, to snack on.
