When Alpha Restaurant opened in the old Hellenic Club in Sydney’s CBD, a food store offering Greek street favourites was always part of the plan. It is a modern take on the marketplaces of Greece, where traditional products imported straight from the homeland are sold as take-home treats. The Alpha Food Store offers premium, authentic products imported directly from family-run estates in Greece.
A selection of street-style food – such as savoury pies of spanakopita, or chicken, mushroom and saffron – can be purchased over the counter as a hot, ready-to-eat takeaway, or to be baked at home. Greek specialties sit behind the glass counter; traditional rizogalo (Greek rice pudding), baklava and a variety of cakes and muffins to accompany a freshly brewed Greek coffee or your daily flat white courtesy of Will & Co.
Alpha has also created a retail section where it offers a line of olive oils, preserves, honey, olives, sauces and candies, and a variety of other items for use at home. Brands available include Dionysus oils, which are used by chef Peter Conistis in the restaurant.

These will vary in size and hold a selection of Alpha’s choice goodies, which could include olive oils, dried pastas, honey, sea salts, Greek sweets and vinegars. The idea will be to have a complete offering; olive oil, savoury, salts and something sweet.
