While holidaying at Apollo Bay in Victoria we were booked in
for an evening meal at Chris’.
There was a table of seven of us for a birthday calibration. I would have been happy
to pay for ourselves after enjoying an excellent meal but the birthday boy
footed the whole bill. Did this make the meal even better or could the whole dining
experiences at Chris’ be improved? Hard to improve upon perfection because that
is exactly what we got, the whole seven of us, a perfect two course meal.
The drive from Apollo Bay to Beacon Point, where Chris’s is
located, is a short and easy one. There is a climb to car park (via car) where
you can also find accommodation. The view from the restaurant is excellent down
through a heavily treed area and out to the ocean. The interior decor is has a
woody natural feel and all the furnishings are new and modern. The dining area
has a few different levels and is big and open with a high ceiling, you feel
you are outside, amongst the trees. I liked it!
Service is friendly and Chris, being Greek himself, has
employed a number of Greek waiters. I’m a big fan of table staff being from the
country in which the cuisine is based. The accents just added to the evening’s
enjoyment. The food is heavily Greek influence with good variety. Can’t comment
on the wine and beer list because the host took control from sit down but I can
say the red wine and champagne we had was very nice. What I can comment on is
food quality, presentation and taste. I can sum that up in a word – “perfect”.
People I have spoken to who have dined here have nothing but good words to say
about this excellent restaurant. If you
go you will also be very impressed.
