About The Apollo Restaurant

Potts Point locals head here when they need modern Greek sharing plates executed with real craft. The room runs loud and convivial around an open kitchen. Regulars point tables toward the sharing feasts—blistered pita, taramasalata, and golden saganaki sizzling straight from the pan with honey and oregano. The centerpiece remains the slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roasted for hours until it falls apart beneath a fork alongside crisp roasted potatoes. Wine lists lean Mediterranean, service stays sharp even through packed weekend rushes, and dessert wraps up with citrus-soaked orange portokalopita.

  • Feast Menus: Communal multi-course sets deliver crisp pita, saganaki, tender slow-cooked lamb shoulder, and roast potatoes.
  • Sizzling Saganaki: Tables share bubbling pan-fried cheese finished with honey and oregano alongside house taramasalata.
  • Lively Energy: An open kitchen and buzzy Potts Point dining room handle birthday dinners, receptions, and group toasts.
  • Gin & Jazz Sessions: Special weekend daytime sessions pair Greek set menus with gin cocktails and a live jazz trio.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, banquet pacing, and ordering for your visit to The Apollo

  • Book Ahead for Peak Times

    The dining room is frequently packed, so reserve well in advance for peak dinner times, though solo diners or early walk-ins can sometimes snag bar or outdoor spots on weeknights.

  • Pace the Feast Portions

    Set banquet menus like The Full Greek and Apollo's Feast come in very generous portions, so come hungry or plan to share dishes à la carte if dining in smaller groups.

  • Enjoy the Saganaki Immediately

    Eat the bubbling saganaki as soon as it hits the table, as the fried cheese cools down quickly once taken out of the hot pan.
