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 between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This is a short page on purpose. Only three Greek places in and around Thornbury passed our checks: one in Thornbury and two in Northcote, and we have not padded the list to look bigger.
Each one was checked against its own site and a second source, and every price is copied as printed. We explain dishes in a line each for anyone reading the menu for the first time, and we say so where a menu gave us no prices.

Souvlaki GR (Thornbury) — 665 High Street, Thornbury VIC 3071
Souvlaki GR’s menu heading is Souvlakia, the plural of souvlaki, which is grilled meat served on a skewer or in a wrap. On the menu, Souvlakia: Chicken is printed at $14.90. Souvlakia: Savva Special is printed at $16.90.
The store page lists every day, 10am – 10pm, and AGFG tags it with takeaway, delivery and child friendly. The menu we read is the chain’s, so treat the prices as chain pricing.

Odos Tsimiski Greek Restaurant’s own site lists opening hours of Friday 5pm till 12am, Saturday 5pm till 1am and Sunday 5pm till 11pm. It also says, “Weekends feature soul-stirring live music.” The site has Book a Table and Order Online buttons, but we could not read item prices, so none are printed.
AGFG lists different hours, so confirm with the venue before you go.
The precinct: It sits at 439 High Street in Northcote, and odos is simply the Greek word for street.

Danté’s menu prints its homemade pita at $10, described as traditional greek homemade pita served with olive oil and herbs. It also prints Saganaki kefalograviera, Ouzo, lemon at $17, and saganaki is a pan-fried cheese dish. Grilled corn ribs with paprika, mayonnaise, lime and parsley are printed at $14, and Grilled Octopus with white wine reduction and finokio at $28.
For something larger, the menu prints a slow-cooked lamb shank with red wine sauce, Greek yogurt and ancient grains at $38. Its site lists Wednesday and Thursday 4.30 PM - 9 PM, and also has a bottomless brunch page and private functions.
