The Press Club , located centrally on Press Club, Flinders Street, Melbourne, Victoria&hl=en&sll=-37.805257,144.975886&sspn=0.009918,0.01929&oq=the press &gl=au&hq=The Press Club, Flinders Street, Melbourne, Victoria&t=m&z=15 Flinders Street , is the flagship venue of chef and restaurateur George Calombaris, opening in 2006. George was subsequently named as The Age Good Food Guide's Chef of the Year in 2009, and has gone on to open several other restaurants as well as publish The Press Club cookbook. His name may be familiar to viewers of Ready, Steady, Cook, as he has made regular appearances on the show.

As expected, The Press Club is a gastronomical delight, favouring Greek cuisine with a contemporary flair. A seasonal a la carte menu is available for lunch or dinner, as well as an amazing degustation menu, which comes highly recommended. The wine list is extensive, featuring tipples from around the world, and a knowledgeable sommelier will be on hand to provide guidance if required.

The aim is to use the wine to compliment the cuisine, creating a full bodied experience. The dessert and traditional sweet snacks menu is packed with Greek favourites with a modern flair, and cannot be bypassed - the baklava is delicious. Head chef Joe Grbac was handpicked by George himself, and the two work closely together when developing the innovative menu.

The Press Club embraces the founder's Greek heritage, and embodies the beautiful European ideal of food as a tribute to hospitality, warmth and family. The venue itself was refurbished in 2010, with the restaurant's bar being transformed into The Little Press and Cellar, where you can unwind with a drink and some nibbles before dinner, or enjoy a nightcap after dinner.

Whether you're after a drink after work, or a drawn-out degustation menu for a special occasion, The Press Club is a feast for your senses. You won't be disappointed.
