LOCATIONIn the middle of West End, Kafe Meze is a quick walk from the CBD and South Bank.
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAA relaxed and laidback family affair, Kafe Meze brags it offers the most authentic Greek cuisine in Brisbane and for good reason; the grilled calamari served with Greek salad, chips and pita bread is rivalled only by the vegetarian platter of fried mushroom, zucchini, eggplant, horta, gigantes and potato salad. Father-and-son-owned Kafe Meze is a restaurant where uncomplicated and easy dining go hand-in-hand with the Grecian-inspired decor. Simple whites and blues enhance the Mediterranean-influenced taverna, which plays host to numerous wedding receptions, and large group and family outings. White stones cover the walls and small pieces of Greek paraphernalia are distributed through the venue.
Tables spill out onto the footpath where quick and friendly service makes Kafe Meze a popular dining spot for locals; not to mention the eight-course meals available for large bookings. Dips, vegetarian plates, haloumi cheese, grilled mushroom, sheftalia, lamb, chicken and pork souvlaki are brought out plate after plate; there’s also the Cyprus piatella for two, meat and seafood mezes, baklava and an impressive wine list. Hearty Grecian cuisine at the welcoming Kafe Meze is casual dining at its finest.
