Jimmy Grants: Melbourne Emporium Lonsdale Street

Jimmy Grants brings you souvlakis from George Calombrais of Master Chef fame. The souvlaki at Melbourne Emporium is way way way above the general quality of a food court venue (although I'm biased on this issue, I'm not a fan of food court 'food'). The meat is slow cooked, well seasoned and tasty. The wrap is finished off in the wood fire, giving it that extra dash of goodness. The only thing is, I want salad instead of chips. Salad adds freshness and balances out meat, making you enjoy it all that much more. But, for $12, it's still a reasonably good deal. Having been to George's restaurant Gazi I can tell you the quality is the same. You are just miss out on the dining experience.

Still... I'd actually prefer the souvaki at King Jon's near Melbourne Central (185 King St Melbourne) or at the Real Greek Souvlaki Bar in Fitzroy (315 Brunswick St Fitzroy).

One tick, done dusted, thank you very much.
