Why Yassas Southbank

A Christmas lunch worth gathering for.

Yassas is a riverside Greek restaurant at Southgate, a few minutes' walk from Flinders Street and the Arts precinct. On Christmas Day we open for lunch service only, with the four-course shared menu above. Through December we also host festive family lunches and work Christmas parties.

🎄

Four-course festive feast

Shared, family-style Greek menu made for a table full of people — meze to start, two mains with sides, and Portokalopita with ice cream to finish.

🌊

Riverside private dining

Private and semi-private areas overlooking the river at Southgate. A memorable setting for a Christmas Day lunch, a family celebration or an end-of-year team gathering.

🥩

Halal certified & all diets

Every meat is sourced from halal-certified butchers, with vegetarian and vegan options too — so the whole table, and the whole team, can share the same feast.
