The Apollo Restaurant

Those tracking Sydney’s best modern Mediterranean plates know to secure a table at The Apollo. This Potts Point staple delivers serious parea—that vibrant, bustling energy of sharing phenomenal food with good company. Forget stiff dining. This is elegant, loud, and deeply convivial. Sydney’s hospitality crowd points straight to the 'Super Greek' set menu for the ultimate flex. Expect bubbling, golden saganaki straight from the pan—eat it fast—followed by blistered pita, vibrant dips, and crispy roast potatoes. The undisputed heavyweight? A slow-cooked lamb shoulder so insanely tender it practically carves itself. Service is razor-sharp and radiates genuine filoxenia, keeping the wine and gin cocktails flowing even when the room is packed to the rafters. Finish with the legendary orange portokalopita. Tables fill up fast and the kitchen’s pacing can be leisurely—so book ahead, settle in, and let the feast unfold.
