Bar Sophia is bringing contemporary dishes inspired by Athens wine bars to Glen Iris.
Daniela Frangos
The owners of CBD Italian spot Marameo are behind this relaxed neighbourhood bar and diner, inspired by the new-wave wine bars of Athens. Chef Nicholas Deligiannis (ex-Mid Air, Audrey’s) is turning out contemporary Greek dishes from a central hearth, including roasted spatchcock doused in pan juices, Cretan-style lamb braised overnight, and charred squid with smoky capsicum. Swipe whey flatbread through cheesy dip blended with spinach and silverbeet, a spanakopita riff. A 12-seat bar is available for walk-ins.
Must-try: Orzo baked with fragrant saffron and leek, studded with Moreton Bay bug.
