Correction (9 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page covers six Greek places in and around Northcote: three in Northcote itself, and one each in Fairfield, Clifton Hill and Thornbury. They range from a souvlaki menu and a cocktail bar to a cake cafe and a set-banquet restaurant, so each entry says what its own sources publish and no more.
Every place was checked against two independent sources, such as its own website, the Australian Good Food Guide and OpenStreetMap. Prices appear only where a menu printed them, beside the dish, and dishes get a one-line explanation for anyone reading the board for the first time.

Odos Tsimiski — 439 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Odos Tsimiski’s own site lists Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 5pm, and says weekends feature soul-stirring live music. Odos is the Greek word for street. AGFG tags the restaurant Bar, Fully Licensed, Takeaway and Functions, and its different listed days are not used here. We found no published menu prices, so none are printed.
The precinct: the listing puts it at 439 High Street, on the Northcote strip, and the site’s hours point to a weekend booking rather than a weeknight one.
Nikos Fairfield — 254 Wingrove Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
Nikos Fairfield’s own site describes bringing the unique style of Greek coffee culture to the Melbourne coffee scene, and says it has more than 90 sweet varieties to choose from. Its contact page says open 365 days a year, Monday to Saturday from 6am and Sunday from 7am, but those hours are shared by both Nikos shops, so confirm the Fairfield times. AGFG tags it Breakfast, Alfresco Dining, Takeaway and Child Friendly.

Triakosia — 300 Queens Parade, Clifton Hill VIC 3068
Triakosia’s site prints Feed me 4 course banquet at $75, and Feed me 3 course banquet at $68. A feed-me banquet is typically a set menu where the kitchen chooses the dishes, though the menu itself does not spell that out. The site lists Tuesday to Sunday from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, with Monday closed. The own site says Clifton Hill while AGFG says Fitzroy North, so check the address on your map.
On the menu (copied from triakosia.com.au on 5 October 2026):
