Welcome to the Hellenic Heart. The Greek taverna is a place for quiet reflection and spirited discussion; a place for love or war; a place to feed the belly and the spirit. The taverna is the kitchen table of village or street - a place for family and friends to gather; a watering hole, debating hall, a gambling den and cafe rolled into one. George Calombaris Hellenic Republic restaurant captures that mood and combines it with a menu that champions that full breadth and myriad influences on peasant cuisine across the islands, territories and regions we call Greece. From breakfast rich in yoghurt and Cypriot sausage, move onto plates of Tzatziki and peppered figs. Taste the slow cooked pork, moussaka and wash down the saganaki with crisp white wine. Then sit down the with Calombaris family and taste his Mum's authentic recipes that she has handed down through the generations.
