Mavs triumphs in National Excellence Awards, recognised as one of the best Greek restaurant in Australia

Words by Staff Writer

Mavs has emerged as the third-best Greek restaurant and family dining spot in the country.

Geelong’s gastronomic hotspot, Mavs Greek Restaurant, is basking in the glory of not one but two Bronze Excellence Awards from the prestigious 2023 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus National Awards for Excellence. In a fierce culinary battle that spanned the entire nation, Mavs emerged as the third-best Greek restaurant and family dining spot in the country.

Earlier this year, Mavs Greek Restaurant, once again asserted its dominance as the premier Greek dining spot in Victoria and Tasmania. Situated in Geelong’s chic West End precinct on Little Malop Street, Mavs has become a cherished local treasure over its six years of operation, captivating the palates of both residents and visitors with its delectable Mediterranean offerings.

Keep up with the latest food and booze news across the region here.

Mavs Greek Restaurant named Victoria & Tasmania’s reigning Greek culinary royalty

Securing the coveted titles of Best Greek Restaurant (for the second year in a row) and Best Family Dining in Victoria and Tasmania earlier this year, Mavs proudly represented the region on the national stage in Sydney on November 20th. Going head-to-head with the crème de la crème of eateries from around the country, Mavs clinched the Bronze in both categories (remarkably achieving Bronze in the national Greek Restaurant Category for the second time), firmly establishing itself as a culinary force to be reckoned with. 

Mavs isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary journey through the heart of Greece without leaving the vibrant streets of Geelong. From the family name Mavromoustakos, meaning ‘black moustache,’ Milton Mavromoustakos and his wife Julia Ryabova have transformed Mavs into a local haven, offering mouthwatering dishes crafted from locally sourced, homemade ingredients. Savour signature dishes like Spanakopita, Saganaki seafood, Lamb Gyros, Mousaka, Biftekia, and the show-stopping Loukoumades. 

These awards are a testament to Mavs’ commitment to delivering uncomplicated yet flawlessly executed Greek fare, complemented by a tempting beverage selection, inviting ambience, and warm, efficient service. A visit to Mavs isn’t just a meal; it’s an invitation to adopt a permanent Mediterranean diet, right in the heart of Geelong.

As part of their ongoing culinary conquest, Mavs has extended its influence with a Souva Bar in Grovedale and a LoukouMadness Greek desserts haven on Little Malop Street in recent years.

Excitingly, another Souva Bar and restaurant is set to grace Drysdale soon, promising to bring the authentic taste of Greek gastronomy to even more eager palates.

Mavs Greek Restaurant is located at 73A Little Malop St, Geelong. Find out more here
