We loved our trip to Greece last year and became very fond of Greek food.
In Australia we live in West End, Brisbane, an area with a rich Greek history. The suburb is dotted with white buildings sporting arches, bougainvillea and names like Rhodes and Ithaca.
We have a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church and beside it, The Greek Club. The restaurant in the Greek Club has been recently renovated and we decided a Sunday lunch was necessary.
The restaurant is called Nostimo.
It has been tastefully renovated. The ceilings are decorated with worry beads made by the staff.
Most importantly, the food is delicious. We shared saganaki cheese with caramelised figs, zucchini fritters, calamari, lamb and Greek salad.
The desserts were great too.
How lucky we are to have this little bit of Greece so close to home.
The Greek Club is holding a fundraising event to aid the people affected by the terrible fires in Greece. We have all watched in horror the devastating results of these terrifying fires and this is a chance to help.
A Greek banquet hosted by chef David Tsirekas will be held on Friday 10th August. The cost will be $120 and all profits will go to help the recovery from the fires.
