Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

Greek food in Brunswick is a short list once every entry has to survive a check, and this page has three places: Alpha Ouzeri and Mazi in Brunswick, and Taverna just over the line in Brunswick East. We would rather give you three we can stand behind than pad the page with names we could not confirm.

Each place was matched against at least two sources: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) and, where one exists, the venue’s own website. Hours are credited to whoever published them, and the AGFG ones may be out of date. Only Taverna’s menu prices were readable, so they are the only prices below.

Where a dish name might be new to you, there is a one-line explanation of what it is in general. Treat the three listings as a starting point for the suburb, not the whole story.

Alpha Ouzeri — 281 Victoria Street, Brunswick VIC 3056

AGFG tags Alpha Ouzeri with Alfresco Dining, Bar, Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options and Gluten Free Options. An ouzeri, in general, is a Greek-style place built around small plates and ouzo, the aniseed spirit, but we could not find a published menu for this one, so we will not guess at dishes. AGFG’s listing hours show Monday closed, Tuesday to Saturday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and those may be out of date.

On the menu: we could not find a published menu, so ask the venue what is being served before you plan around a particular dish.

Mazi — 317 Sydney Road, Brunswick VIC 3056

AGFG tags Mazi with Alfresco Dining, Bar, Takeaway, Delivery, Child Friendly and Disabled Access, plus Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options. Its AGFG hours list Wednesday as closed, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday opening at 4:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 1:00 PM through to 12:00 AM, and Sunday from 12:30 PM to 10:00 PM. OpenStreetMap carries a different tag, 12:00-23:00, so treat the difference as a reason to check first, since AGFG hours may be out of date. We could not find a published menu in our sources.

The precinct: Mazi’s address is on Sydney Road in Brunswick, and AGFG tags it for takeaway and delivery as well as dining in.

Taverna — 434 Lygon Street, Brunswick East VIC 3057

Taverna’s own site lists dinner on Monday and Wednesday to Friday from 5 pm until late, and all-day dining on Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm until late. Its menu prints marinated olives at $10, and taramosalata, a whipped cod roe dip, at $17. Kalamari, which is fried squid with mayoneza, is $22 on Taverna’s menu, and spanakorizo, a spinach and herb rice, is $30.

On the menu (copied from ourtaverna.com on 4 October 2026):

  • Marinated olives: $10
  • Taramosalata | Whipped cod roe dip: $17
  • Kalamari | Fried squid, mayoneza: $22
  • Spanakorizo | Spinach rice, fresh herbs (add feta +5): $30

Start with: the marinated olives at $10, then finish on rizogalo, a vanilla rice pudding with quince, which Taverna’s menu prints at $16.

Quick answers

Where can you eat Greek food in Brunswick?

We could verify three Greek restaurants: Alpha Ouzeri and Mazi in Brunswick, and Taverna in Brunswick East. Each was matched against two sources, and AGFG listings and venue websites supply the details above.

Which Greek restaurants in Brunswick are open on Sunday?

AGFG’s listing for Alpha Ouzeri shows Sunday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. AGFG’s listing for Mazi shows Sunday from 12:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Taverna’s own site lists all-day dining on Saturday and Sunday from 12 pm until late. AGFG hours may be out of date, so check with the venue first.

Is there Greek takeaway or delivery in Brunswick?

AGFG tags Mazi with Takeaway and Delivery. The AGFG tags we read for Alpha Ouzeri do not include either, and the Taverna pages we read did not mention them, so ask the venue directly.

What do Greek dishes cost in Brunswick East?

Taverna is the only place on this page with readable prices. Its menu prints marinated olives at $10, and kalamari, fried squid with mayoneza, at $22. We could not find published prices for Alpha Ouzeri or Mazi.
