El Greko Greek Taverna

I had the most amazing experience at this Greek restaurant in Australia! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. Moussaka was a personal favorite. What made the visit even more memorable was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel so welcome. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a warm and inviting atmosphere with outstanding food and service, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to visit again!” Feel free to customize it based on your specific experience!

The lamb cutlets were absolutely to die for!! Tender juicy flavorful amazing! Litrally the best dinner we’ve had since being in Australia🙏 Forgive the pictures but I wasn’t expecting to NEED to write a review…. but after the tasty cosmos, amazing Greek salad, and mouth watering cutlets I had to! We were so full after drinks we didn’t get to try dessert but based on our meal I’m sure it would have impressed! Also, shout out to the great staff they worked as a team to make sure we were enjoying our meals and were incredibly welcoming and friendly! They even sent out a staffer that was from the US to say hi:) James the head chef and owner was kind enough to come out and gift us a hat with the restaurant’s logo! Can’t say enough great things about this restaurant be sure to stop by if you are looking to be impressed!

A Very disappointed experience!! Food was over priced for what y we ordered Ares Grill … small pita bread with a few pieces of chicken , service was average and there were bugs flying around everywhere… inside and outside..,, they were attracted to the lights…. I understand that.., but I am sure that this isn’t first time with the heat. The venue should be equipped with bug catching devices!! Dinner was at 7:30 and we were out the door by 8:10. Very unpleasant experience! I feel like I have bugs crawling all over me! I would be recommending this venue for dinner

Had a marvellous night out with my wife at El Greko Palm Cove recently. With customer service on the demise in many venues nowadays, we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with open arms, and staff that showed a genuine desire to make our experience memorable. Our host Lisa ushered us to our table and on the way we were acknowledged by all the wonderful staff, each greeting us with great smiles and warmth. We knew from that point we were going to have a great night. What we didn't know however, was our expectations were going to be far greater than we anticipated. Firstly, the spritz drinks served to us within 5 minutes of sitting were incredible, refreshing, and like nothing we've had in a long time. My wife ordered the paithakia lamb cutlets, Greek vegetables, and tzatziki. I ordered the Greek style lamb shanks dressed with a tomato based sauce including olives and feta, and garlic mash. Chef Mateo exceeded our expectations, and we both commented on how the food looked and tasted like it had been prepared with the utmost respect. Amazing, amazing, amazing! The flavours worked so remarkable together, and I was encouraged to accompany my dish with an amazing Greek red wine that just worked with the dish and enhanced the flavours so much more. After our mains we were greeted by the Executive head chef James. He suggested we try his creation of prawn saganaki. OMG! As an avid seafood lover I never expected prawns could be more flavoursome. It worked and I am salivating just writing this review and remembering the taste sensations. All in all my wife and I were thrilled with everything. And although the night was hot and steamy, Lisa and her staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and we were made to feel special at every turn. El Greko is on our "must return" list for every time we visit Palm Cove.

When the food is SO good you have to eat there two nights in a row … had the fortune to eat at el Greko in Palm Cove twice last week - why? Because my adult daughter thought the saganaki was the best thing she’d ever eaten … From the warm engagement over the phone to book to the even warmer welcome on arrival - this was a great experience - ate inside the first night - it was SO busy which created a LOT of noise - so we chose outside the second night which was lovely … the staff were run off their feet but could not be nicer - food came super swiftly and was fresh and delicious - highly recommend - definitely book ahead - they get very very busy - which is understandable as it’s that good

Sensational food, drinks & authentic atmosphere! We felt like we were in Greece! Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon ☺️

We dined at El Greko Taverna in Palm Cove and were thoroughly impressed. The Saganaki was a perfect start, the Ares Grill was cooked to perfection, and each bite of the Seafood Trio was fresh and flavorful. The warm hospitality and atmosphere made the experience even more special. I highly recommend El Greko for an authentic and memorable dining experience. We will be back!

The staff here are absolutely fabulous, so friendly and very prompt. The food was good but it was the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff that really made the experience lovely.
