We are a modern Australian restaurant in Caulfield North. We are open every night for dinner.

Our dinner concept is the Spread. Food isn’t fuel. Great food is a catalyst for conversation and warmth. It’s all about sharing: Can you pass over that salad? Can you pass the butter, its delicious?
All the mains are $40 except for the Marble Score 6+ Eye fillet at $55 & it includes sides.

About the restaurant
Stocking over 500 Independent Craft Australian beers from around the country in our fridges and 8 different rotating beers on tap, with new beers arriving weekly, along side an extensive spirit, cocktail and wine offering.

Our traditional Italian style pizza is a hybrid between the Naples and Rome style. We use only the best and freshest ingredients and our dough, made onsite, is something truly exceptional. We have weekly specials to go with our core range of pizzas, small plate offerings and sides.

Please note venue hours and kitchen hours differ.

Wednesday 4:00PM-8:00PM
Thursday 4:00PM-9:00PM
Friday-Saturday 12:00PM-9:00PM
Sunday 12:00PM-8:00PM

We take every opportunity to seat guests as per their requests but please note this is not always possible. Booths are allocated to guests of four and above and outside tables are non reservable and are allocated to walk-ins. If it is a quieter night will do our best to seat smaller groups in booths.

A memorable evening. The food was exactly how it should be, divinely Greek and scrumptious. Well done to all chefs and staff.

About the restaurant
Since 1994, Caffé Greco has been more than a restaurant, it has been a Melbourne icon, a place where laughter lingers over long lunches, where friendships are toasted, and where every visit feels like coming home.

Now reimagined in the heart of Oakleigh, Greco enters a new era, one that celebrates the contemporary spirit of Greek cuisine. Our menu captures the sun-kissed flavours of the Mediterranean, showcasing the freshest local seafood, premium meats from the grill, and our signature Galaktoboureko, lovingly crafted each day.

Step inside a space of marble and gold, bathed in soft, inviting light, a blend of elegance and warmth that reflects the true heart of Greek hospitality. From morning coffee and something sweet, to mezze and cocktails at dusk, or a refined dinner shared with family and friends.

Groups of 15 or more? We also offer à la carte and sharing options, simply contact us at info@caffegrecooakleigh.com

Our space blends a city-smart edge with a warm, welcoming feel, perfect for date nights, group feasts, or milestone celebrations. The wine list showcases Italian varietals and local favourites, while our bar team serves classic, food-friendly cocktails.
