This place is a hidden gem! Its very fancy and nice inside, very posh The food was top tier. Delicious, fresh and full of flavour. Very busy and packed on a Satursday night, glad we had a booking Staff were friendly and helpful. Top range of wine available. We loved it and will be back. Shout out to the fresh bread, melted in our mouths
We came here for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The service was amazing and the staff were well versed on the menu. We shared four mains between 7 people which was perfect. We all thought the bread and was especially delicious. There was no wait for a table on a Thursday night.
We had an amazing time there! All the food was amazing. My favorite was the garlic bread and whipped cod roe. My partner’s favorite was the white bait. Service was also 10/10. Was surprised by how quickly the food came out. Staff were also super hospitable, especially David, he explained the menu well and made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. Super appreciative of the complimentary greens (since we only ordered meat and carbs), very thoughtful 💕 Have to agree with my partner “this could be our new favorite spot in Brunswick”. Would definitely return :)))
I live up the block from Taverna and I’ve been meaning to go here since they opened. Tonight was the night and I can’t rave more highly about this awesome family-style casual Greek joint. Taverna is hospitality personified. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place more warm and welcoming. We did the $60 set menu which was incredible value and beyond delicious. We also chose a whole baby snapper which was grilled on hot coals and melted in your mouth. Taverna is one of the best front of house experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve been everywhere. I’m excited to say that this is my new local and I’ll be coming here for dinner at least once a week
Taverna is an absolute gem of a restaurant! The lamb was incredibly succulent and perfectly cooked—truly one of the best meals we've had in Melbourne. The moussaka was amazing, with perfectly baked layers and plenty of flavorful meat. Even the fried potato wedges, a simple dish, were perfectly done and delicious. The pickled octopus was tender, juicy, and full of flavor—not too tough—and paired wonderfully with the fava bean paste and olive bread. The meal overall was outstanding, and the wine selection complemented everything beautifully. What really stood out was the unpretentious, home-cooked feel of the food. It was authentic and full of heart, something rare to find. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a genuine and delicious dining experience!
