George Calombaris' Hellenic Hotel Is Finally Coming to Williamstown

Get ready to stuff yourself with so many Greek doughnuts you'll barely be able to move. Chef George Calombaris is about to cut the ribbon on his long awaited new restaurant, The Hellenic Hotel.

Opening on Friday, June 17 on Ferguson Street in Williamstown some two years after it was originally meant to do so, The Hellenic Hotel will be the third member of the Hellenic Republic family, which also has branches in Brunswick East and Kew. Diners can expect a hearty selection of Greek food and wine, with popular items including the saganaki with peppered figs expected to make the journey across the Westgate Bridge.

Beyond that we don't know a great deal about the menu, although with award-winning young chef Josh Pelham at the helm, we're confident we'll be in good hands. "It's about delivering value-for-money family-friendly food," he told Good Food last month.

Located on the site of the former Hobsons Bay Hotel, The Hellenic Hotel will be split into two levels, with an 80-90 seat dining room on the ground floor plus a bar and veranda upstairs. There will also be a takeaway outlet attached, complete with its own separate entrance.

The Hellenic Hotel will open for dinner on Friday, June 17 at 28 Ferguson Street, Williamstown. For more information visit HH's website.
