Mykonos Taverna

Best Known For

Kotsi Lamb: slow-cooked lamb shanks, with vegetables, sautéed potatoes and mushrooms, finished with wine.

Save yourself the airfare and head to Portman Street in Oakleigh to discover a slice of the Greek Islands at Mykonos Taverna. Take a seat in the renovated dining area and be convinced you are shoreside to the Mediterranean, overlooking a life-sized mural adorned with soft, whimsical fabrics, seashell pendent lights, stone flooring and relaxed seating, while aqua tones evoke visions of the ocean. Mykonos has created a menu just as visionary as the landscape, offering traditional Greek beer and wine to accompany authentic fare. Select a mezze plate to start like char-grilled octopus, or prawns with tomato sauce, feta, peppers and garlic; before diving into a memorable main of kleftiko lamb – a traditional rustic recipe, slow-cooked for five hours, served with chips and grated kefalograviera.
