Koutouki

Located in the vibrant Leichhardt, Sydney's slice of the Mediterranean, Koutouki is a lively Greek taverna where the zest of Athens meets the heart of Australia. It’s a place where every meal is a celebration, every bite a revelation, and every visit an escape to the Aegean shores.

The moment you walk into Koutouki, you’re welcomed by the strum of live music that sets the scene for an authentic Greek experience. The air is filled with the aroma of Grilled Octopus and the sizzle of Souvlaki, promising a feast for the senses. The decor, a charming blend of rustic wood and blue accents, makes you feel like you’re in a seaside taverna, where the only thing better than the view is the food on your plate.

Koutouki's banquet menus are the stars of the show, designed to be enjoyed by the tableful. Set menu one takes you through Greek traditional dishes, with classics like creamy spanakopita and salty halloumi, while set menu two elevates the experience with prawn skewers and politiki salata, a salad as refreshing as a sea breeze. Both menus offer a choice of mixed grill or souvlaki platters, accompanied by golden chips – perfect for those who adore their meat with a side of more meat.

Desserts are a sweet homage to Hellenic heritage. The galaktoboureko, with its layers of filo and honey syrup, is a dream for custard lovers, while the kariodopita provides a gluten-free walnut treat. Not to be missed is the krema yiayourti pannacotta, a Greek twist on the Italian classic, available with honey and walnuts or a tangy sour cherry compote.

At Koutouki, the staff are as warm as the Greek sun, ready to recommend the perfect wine or beer to complement your meal. Whether it’s a family dinner, a catch-up with friends, or a romantic evening, Koutouki is your destination for a slice of Greek life, right here in Sydney. Come for the food, stay for the music, and leave with memories of a night in the Mediterranean, no passport needed.
