Nostimo Restaurant & Bar to open in Brisbane with acclaimed chef

The Greek Club’s new signature Greek restaurant, Nostimo Restaurant & Bar, is set to welcome internationally acclaimed Sydney-based Greek Chef, David Tsirekas, as Chef in Residence when it opens at the end of June.

Chef Tsirekas will create a refined, modern Greek offering, celebrating traditional Greek flavours with sophisticated execution in what is a completely new restaurant and food offering. Tsirekas will continue his practice of highlighting local and fresh ingredients by working with local farmers and suppliers, taking a similar approach that saw him lead 1821 to incredible acclaim.

He will split his time between Sydney and Brisbane, sharing his vision with the Nostimo culinary team, and diners, with visits every month.  Nostimo Restaurant & Bar opens as part of The Greek Club’s $3million renovation and represents the spiritual home of the Greek community and Greek food in the city, making the dining experience truly authentic. 

Brisbane will also be sharing Tsirekas’ flavours with Chicago, after he was approached to oversee the launch of two modern Greek restaurants in the US city after mega restaurateur Louie Alexakis heard about Australia’s Greek food, met Tsirekas and tasted his dishes.
