What does it feel like when one of Australia’s most prolific and enduring Greek chefs opens a large,sunny restaurant in a Novotel hotel overlooking sparkling blue waters? It feels like a homecoming,with Ammos the perfect platform for Peter Conistis’ effortless take on Grecian favourites.

The room has the perfect aspect for the easy,breezy menu,executed by James Roberts – and that’s even before you spy the cabanas by the pool,the little ouzo trolley or the chalk-white Greek cheeses.

Fill up on vibrant dips,flatbreads,crunchy horiatiki salad and stuffed vegetables,but leave room for lamb – cooked slow in the wood-fired oven,or sizzling fast on the grill – and a glorious shellfish saganaki richly sauced with tomatoes and feta. Time for a mastic Greek ice-cream and a stroll along the beach.
