The Apollo
The Apollo is a restaurant in Potts Point, Sydney, serving Greek cuisine with a modern approach. The interior features a minimalist design with exposed concrete, granite, and brass, creating a warm and welcoming space that hints at Greece's rocky landscape.
The Apollo was founded by Jonathan Barthelmess and Sam Christie, two chefs with experience in well-known Sydney restaurants. The restaurant quickly established itself as a popular venue in Potts Point and has been featured on Sydney's Hot List.
The Apollo takes its name from the Greek god of poetry and light, reflecting the cultural identity of the place. The shared dining style connects to Mediterranean hospitality traditions where eating together strengthens community bonds and enjoyment.
The restaurant is located on Macleay Street in Elizabeth Bay and is easy to reach. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends or for special occasions, as the place fills up quickly.
One overlooked dish is saganaki, fried kefalograviera cheese topped with oregano and Blue Mountains honey that bubbles on the hot cheese. The restaurant also offers a Chef's Table for private dinners, providing a more intimate dining experience with direct menu exploration.
