A Taste of Greece: Manta x Bungalow 7 Takeover

Overview

Woolloomooloo Wharf is set to sizzle with Mediterranean vibes as the executive chef of Europe's renowned Bungalow 7, Ntinos Fotinakis, brings a taste of Greek summer to Manta Restaurant. From March 21 to April 6, indulge in an immersive culinary experience that'll transport you to a seaside taverna – all the while soaking up stunning harbour views.

Blending the freshest ingredients from Sydney's land and sea with authentic Greek flavours, Fotinakis – who's worked with Heston Blumenthal and trained under Michelin-starred chef Jacques Le Divellec – is inspired by home and heart. He'll personally welcome you, surprise you with unique dishes, and deliver tableside finishes that embody Greece's legendary hospitality.

Start with mezze delights like moussaka croquettes, taramasalata with smoked yuzu, and spanakorizo (Greek spinach and rice) gyoza. Heftier plates feature succulent lamb shoulder, short rib pasta, snapper with potato skordalia, and the signature astakomakaronada – a luxurious dish of live eastern rock lobster with linguine, tomato and extra-virgin olive oil. And making the drinks shortlist? Only Greece's best, including ouzo and mastiha cocktails, and standout wines like Assyrtiko and Moschofilero.

A Taste of Greece is available for lunch and dinner throughout the two-week celebration. Opt for an à la carte experience or select from set menus priced at $85 or $105 per person. With limited spots available, bookings are recommended.
