The story of Hellenika, now on your kitchen bench.

Over 15 years, Simon Gloftis has built one of Australia’s most loved Greek restaurants. Hellenika began at Nobby Beach on the Gold Coast and now calls The Calile Hotel in Brisbane home. Simon’s philosophy is simple: beautiful produce, cooked simply, shared generously. It’s the way our yiayias cooked.

This is not just a cookbook. It holds Simon’s childhood and family stories, the team behind Hellenika’s hospitality, and 110 iconic recipes. They range from generational dishes to modern classics, covering breakfast, mezedes, mains, desserts and cocktails, all made for home cooking.

At Greek Plateia, we’ve followed Simon and the St Albans Group for years, interviewing Simon and Theo and sharing the stories behind Hellenika, SK Steak & Oyster, Sushi Room and Sunshine. We love what they’ve built: generous, uncompromising hospitality that puts Greek food on the national stage and makes our community proud. This book captures exactly that, so we’ve secured a small number of copies to bring straight to you. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
