About Us
Since 1980 on Johnston Street, Jim's Greek Tavern is a Collingwood institution run by the Panagopoulos family — Leonidas (Leo) and Aphrodite, with daughter Pamela now leading the room. White-washed walls, tight white-clothed tables and a boisterous open kitchen evoke a Greek coastal taverna: guests are not handed a menu; waiters steer the table through shared mezze (saganaki in a hot pan, house-made tarama, tzatziki and eggplant dips, pickled octopus) into charcoal fish such as whole pan-roasted snapper or King George whiting, lamb cutlets or skewers, Greek salad, and desserts including galaktoboureko, baklava and halva. BYO is central to the experience (Broadsheet also notes a licensed pour); the venue seats around 200, stays loud and convivial, and suits group celebrations. Phone bookings are recommended. Dinner seven nights from 6pm.
