Stalactites

It’s been open on Lonsdale Street since 1978, serving Greek food deep into the night. This Melbourne staple stays open until 2am or later on weekends, drawing post-theatre diners and shift workers with its generous portions and fast turnaround.
Spanakopita is reliably crisp, and the souvlaki is seasoned with restraint. The menu favours classics: chargrilled meats, mixed gyros, sharp tzatziki and, when available, sticky-hot loukoumades. No booking required.
The room’s retro styling has softened over decades of service, giving the place a relaxed, lived-in feel. We’d sit near the entrance if you like some buzz with your moussaka.
