Had a big brekkie here and it was delicious! eggs, toast, hash brown, tea, juice...the works! we were served quickly and everything was so yummy. If I'm back again in Melbourne, I would go back here.

Awesome place. I stopped going here a few years ago because it went downhill, but the new staff and new menu are really good. Its really good when its busy on the weekends. The chicken souvlaki is the best in Melbourne, I always get it and I also noticed the prices are much better than a lot of places in south yarra. This place will stay on my top 5 list for sure.

I had a really good experience with Cafe Greco. What a great venue for large groups. I thought it was quite small, but once you walk right in, the back area is really big. Be careful when you walk past the cakes, they are to die for! I organised a work dinner for 36 people. The food was really good and didn't take too long either, which can often happen with large groups. The place was busy, but we still got really well looked after. Thanks for everything Jarrod, we'll definitely be back!

What a great shame! We were frequent diners at Greco years ago and went back recently to be reminded of why we loved it so much. To our disappointment the entire menu has changed.

However, more of a disappointment was the complete lack of service. We waited approx 15 mins before we hailed down a member of staff for menus. I understand in busy times this is possible, however there were only 2 other occupied tables. This was completely unheard of a ouple of year ago-- Cafe Greco has always been busy. To be fair we did not stick around to even sample the new menu thus cannot comment on the food. I think it has become just popular 'hangout' for young kids?

I had a party there with about 30 guests. I chose a menu selection for my guests as suggested by the staff. The food was dreadful, it was cold and processed, not fresh at all. The service wasn't bad, but the food made up for the disappointment. You would think for such a well-known place that everything would be up to scratch. I've been there lots of times for coffee and cake, and it was really good. I will never ever go back there for a meal again!!

Response from Management:
At Café Greco, we pride ourselves on providing great food, a great environment and great service. We were very disappointed that this customer had a negative experience at Café Greco, but we appreciate their feedback. We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new Head Chef. With over 20 years experience as a Head Chef, Heinz Lundberg brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in Mediterranean cuisine. With a new menu on the way and a fresh new approach in the kitchen, our food is now better than ever!

Cafe Greco on chapel is awsome. My friends and I go to Greco at least 5 times a week. The atmospher is best in early hours of the morning when it is filled with groups on Italian and Greek youths
