A plated Mediterranean dish at El Greco

El Greco brings the culinary paths of Kostas and Sarah Grigorakis together in a relaxed Campbells Bay restaurant close to the beach. Kostas’s experience stretches from Greece and Crete to Auckland kitchens, while the dining room deliberately joins Greek and Italian traditions instead of forcing them into separate corners. That personal history gives the restaurant a warm, family-led identity, well suited to tables that want a leisurely meal built from several courses rather than a single hurried plate.

The Greek side begins naturally with dishes for the middle of the table. House-made tzatziki, roasted-aubergine dip and taramasalata come with warm pita, creating a simple meze opening before the larger plates arrive. Spanacorizo combines spinach, rice, herbs and lemon, while chicken souvlaki, layered moussaka and grilled lamb cutlets offer progressively richer choices. The signature gyros wraps lamb with tzatziki, tomato and onion in Greek pita, keeping a familiar street-food form at the heart of the menu.

Italian cooking greatly expands the choice. Pizzas range from the restrained Di Costa with sun-dried tomato, feta, olives and basil to an El Greco combination of lamb, capsicum, feta and tzatziki. Pasta moves through bolognese, tortellini, lasagne and carbonara before reaching seafood marinara, spaghetti with prawns and shellfish, and orzo served with eye-fillet pieces in tomato sauce. These dishes let a group move between Mediterranean flavours without forcing every diner towards one tradition.

The drinks list is shaped for that shared style of dining, matching New Zealand wines with bottles from Italy and other Mediterranean regions, then adding Italian beer, local beer, cocktails and alcohol-free alternatives. Group bookings and catering make El Greco practical for celebrations, while takeaway keeps much of the core menu accessible at home. Whether the table settles on dips and wine, pizza and pasta or a run of Greek mains, the format encourages a sociable pace and plenty of passing plates.
