Gazi

Nestled in bustling State Theatre, Gazi is your go-to for a relaxed meal and a cheeky cocktail before your show. From the busy streets of Melbourne to the Gazi district in Athens, this gem boasts a high-energy atmosphere, curated menus and dynamic spaces curated to make each dining memory unforgettably enjoyable.

The menu brims with modern Greek favourites designed for sharing and savouring. Starters like the salt and vinegar loukoumades - golden fritters sprinkled with sea salt and drenched in olive-studded crème fraîche - set the tone, while zucchini chips paired with Greek yoghurt are a firm favourite for a crunchy kick.

Mains keep the excitement flowing, with tender 12-hour slow-roasted lamb served alongside oyster mushrooms and a pomegranate glaze stealing the spotlight. Another highlight includes the daily sashimi-style fish selection, showcasing Gazi’s knack for fresh, vibrant flavours. For a lighter option, the Cypriot grain salad with capers, raisins and red wine vinaigrette is a delightful choice for vegetarians.

Gazi blends music, good times and irresistible fare into one unforgettable experience. Perfect for pre-show dinners, post-show cocktails, long, lazy lunches or celebrations of every kind, it’s a Melbourne favourite that makes every meal feel like a special occasion.
