Ellenika

Set on Marina Pier in Glenelg, Ellenika brings Greek and Mediterranean dining to a waterfront setting in Adelaide. The restaurant combines the flavours and hospitality of the Greek islands with fresh local produce, offering a menu shaped around sharing and relaxed coastal dining. Its approach covers traditional Greek favourites alongside contemporary touches, giving diners a choice between a longer shared meal and a more casual solo visit.

The food offering includes sizzling meats, grilled seafood, colourful salads and meze-style dining. Guests can settle in for a meze feast or share platters from the front bar, with the menu designed to suit both social occasions and smaller meals. The bar also serves cocktails and local wines, adding to the restaurant’s all-day sense of occasion without taking attention away from the food.

Ellenika’s setting is a major part of the experience. The Marina Pier location provides waterfront views, sea breezes and a laid-back atmosphere, while weekend live music adds energy to the dining room. There is space for up to 160 guests, making the venue suitable for a romantic dinner, a gathering with friends or larger celebrations. The front bar offers a more casual place to drink and graze, while the broader restaurant can accommodate group events.

The team describes Ellenika as a diverse, passionate group united by food, hospitality and Mediterranean culture. That focus is reflected in the emphasis on warm service and an inviting, shared-table style of dining. The venue also has an events team to assist with birthdays, engagements, weddings and corporate gatherings, making it a practical option for celebrations in Glenelg. Whether you are visiting for a waterfront dinner, meeting friends over meze, or organising a larger function, Ellenika offers a Greek-inspired dining experience with the beachside atmosphere of Adelaide’s coast.
