Stavros Restaurant & Bar

Stavros Restaurant & Bar brings Greek and broader Mediterranean flavours to Buderim on the Sunshine Coast, combining traditional recipes with a contemporary approach. The menu is built for sharing, beginning with dips and mezze before moving into substantial mains, salads, sides, desserts and set feasts. The restaurant describes its food as authentic Greek cuisine with a modern twist, with the overall idea centred on gathering around a generous meal and staying awhile.

There is plenty for diners who enjoy a table of shared plates. The dip selection includes baba ghanoush, tzatziki, beetroot taramasalata and hummus with warm pita, while the mezze list ranges from grilled Cypriot haloumi with honey, za’atar and lemon to chargrilled octopus, sautéed Mooloolaba prawns, keftedes and flaming saganaki. For a larger occasion, the Greek Feast, Big Greek Feast and Stavros Feast offer progressively broader spreads, with options including haloumi, calamari, chicken souvlaki, lamb ribs, prawns, salads, potatoes and chef-selected dessert. The feasts have minimum numbers, making them particularly suited to groups.

The main menu covers familiar Greek favourites alongside seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. Options include chicken breast souvlaki with village salad, tzatziki, warm pita and Greek fries; pastitsio with pork and beef ragout; vegetarian moussaka; lamb cutlets; swordfish; and a signature slow-roasted lamb shoulder. Salads and sides can round out a meal, with Greek salad, roast cauliflower salad, warm rice salad, horta, lemon potatoes and Greek fries all listed. Dessert stays with Greek and Mediterranean influences, including baklava, galaktoboureko and orange halva cake.

Stavros also operates as a bar, with Greek and Australian wines, sparkling selections, cocktails, beers, spirits, non-alcoholic drinks, coffee and traditional Greek coffee. Lunch is available daily from 11am to 3pm, including yiros and Greek burgers, while the kids’ menu caters for children under 13 with choices such as grilled chicken, calamari, fish, pastitsio and pasta. With its shared feasts, broad menu and child-friendly options, Stavros is a practical choice for family meals, relaxed group dinners and anyone looking to explore Greek food in the Buderim area.
