One of my absolute favourite spots for coffee, dinner, lunch, drinks. Good for vegans and gluten free and the most wonderful staff. I adore going in for a chat and they always are so welcoming! The sangria is great to share and the soup and hummus platter have the most amazing flavours and good for sharing!
Super cool place! Ambience and atmosphere is so cool, staff were all amazing and very knowledgeable. Food was really yum, with a good variety of coeliac safe gluten free options, but portion sizes were pretty small for the price tag! Nice spot for a special occasion.
Had dinner last night at El Greco and we absolutely loved the experience. From the warm and friendly staff, to the comfortable outdoor seating, to the amazing food, everything was exceptional.
We had a quiet dog and this was fine. Flat surfaces, so ok for wheelchairs too. Our fried has celiacs and this also was not a problem.
I loved the Italian lagers (it was great to have another option, rather than just Peroni). The 7 ⭐️ Metaxa was similar to a Cognac, full of flavours and a great way to finish the night over dessert. Nice wine selections too.
Really enjoyed all the food - souvlaki, squid, pasta. Lots of generous amounts of salad.
My only feedback would be to only use vegetables that are in season. Brussel sprouts are not in season now, which means they’re probably cooked from frozen and we found them mushy.
Apart from that we loved everything about dining here and would highly recommend it to others.
Graci!
So so very good. We shared a garlic and mozzarella pizza as a starter, the cheese was insane. Never had that in my life. Then with a Montepulciano the Pansotti large version, which were perfectly al dente.
For dessert I shared a gluten free torta al cioccolato and a tiramisu with a friend. Both were reaaaally good!
I absolutely recommend!
Not only is the food amazing, but everything is homemade, they have product of excellent (Italian) quality, the atmosphere was really cute and cozy. Family business style.
Loved it!
Thanks for everything!
Incredible first time experience. Food and service was absolutely top notch!! The care and attention taken for myself being a gluten-free eater was so awesome and hugely appreciated. Thanks so much for the fantastic evening.
The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Great gluten free and vegetarian options. Altogether a great dining out experience.
My daughter Jade & had the most amazing lunch. The food is to die for. It’s really difficult finding good gluten free food as a coeliac and the Lebanese Grocer nailed it. Thanks guys

Absolutely delicious and divine pork belly and it was gluten free. Also had other gluten free options so I’ll be back to try those. The lamb shank looked really good too. My partner had the chicken filo and enjoyed it but I reckon my pork was way tastier. I also really enjoyed the passionfruit lemonade. Highly recommended.
Our server was so lovely, catered to my partners gluten intolerance when we were interested in a particular dish that wasn't listed as Gluten-free. The food was delicious, and the chicken was cooked just right and was juicy. Absolutely loved how cozy the place is and we were happy with the GF options available. They have delicious looking food to-go safely displayed in a cabinet that they bring out on to the street during the day, it all looks very affordable also.
Awesome service, good food and very accommodating for food allergies. Nice selection of Gluten free options. Our server, Tye and Chef Robin went above and beyond on great customer service. A nice welcome to New Zealand for us!
