The Press Club Restaurant

In October 2006, the four directors joined together to form MAdE Establishment, and opened their first venue, The Press Club Restaurant and Bar. This began a new era for George Calombaris and cemented his place as a culinary star for his Modern Greek Cuisine - never seen before Melbourne; where modern twists to traditional Greek cuisine has put this restaurant on the global map and has diner’s wanting more.

Take your place in the plush surrounds of George Calambaris’ Press Club – all sleek gold, tan and creamy luxury. Created in the smaller space adjoining the old premises, Calombaris has let his imagination run wild. Settle into a booth (there’s only ten) and take in the high-street glamour and elegant Greek cuisine with a full degustation menu.

Want to try something new? Treat yourself to inventive and experimental molecular gastronomy from head chef Luke Croston with Press Club Projects, a private experimental kitchen and dining experience.

Next door to The Press Club at 52 Flinders Street, is Press Club - Projects, George Calombaris' creative and development kitchen. This space can be booked privately for up to 8 guests and offers a completely interactive experience as the chefs experiment with new dishes to make the menu in The Press Club.
