Apollo

Apollo sits in Potts Point, and the room reads exactly the way the Sydney dining establishment expects a greek kitchen at this address to read — considered, particular, and exact about the things it cares about. One-hat — modern Greek with chef-counter seats.

The cooking turns on signatures the Sydney regulars order without looking at the menu: Saganaki, Lamb Shoulder, and Galaktoboureko. The kitchen runs at the $$$ register, with a wine programme that is either deep where the room is loud and tight where the room is quiet, and a service floor that has clearly worked at this register before.

For a team dinner dinner in Sydney, this is one of the addresses you should already know about. Reservations skew hard; dress is smart casual. The averaged Food/Ambience/Value line sits at 9.1/10 — high enough to mean the room is doing more right than wrong, calibrated against the sharpest other tables in the city.

One-hat — modern Greek with chef-counter seats. For a deeper read on this occasion across other cities, the Team Dinner guide is the canonical reference.
