Melbourne's current obsession with sandwiches shows no signs of slowing down. Brother and sister duo Adam and Elisa Mariani who brought us Mayday Coffee and Food and Maverick have opened a European bar in the CBD.

Place mentioned

Greta

Melbourne
Opens at 8am

Greta has been in the making since pre-COVID. After all of Victoria’s efforts in containing the pandemic, Greta has finally come to life, adding spark to a reviving city centre.

The interior by Chris Connell is timeless, with straight lines, olive and mustard tones with brown leather and brass accents. It’s very European and even has a ‘standing room’ area where you can wait for your takeaway coffee or down an espresso like they do in Italy.

The ‘can’t-go-wrong’ menu is well thought out with a selection of breakfast, sandwiches and aperitivo plates. Baked eggs in tomato sugo, a melty, cheesy toasty or a crunchy porchetta and radicchio roll are just a few of the highlights. And for a Friday evenings, they’re open ’til seven and you can indulge in some tinned fish or the daily charcuterie plate.

Specialty coffee by Axil Coffee Roasters. Stiff cocktails. A wine list selected featuring 19 bottles which regions span local, French and Italian.

Popping in for breakfast, grabbing a sandwich to go or dining in for a few hours with drinks and nibbles, Greta is just the European bar Melbourne needs right now
