A busy Friday night at the Hellenic Club, start of a long weekend. I'd booked several days beforehand in their newest restaurant, Fillos, for dinner with my husband and teenage children.When we arrived however, we were directed to a high, small table with bar stools. No thanks. The hostess, Karen, beautiful and calm, asked us to wait in the lounge so she could reseat us at a table with chairs. Much better. We ordered four entrees to share. Beetroot dip with flatbread $10, panfried saganaki cheese $13, zucchini balls $12 and charcoal grilled calamari $17. I'd order all again, except the calamari. Unfortunately it was tough and yet bizarrely some seemed almost raw!The dip was sensational, prob...
I visited Fillos with three friends and was delighted by the warm, friendly welcome. The blackboard menu at the door looked interesting and when we decided to order, the waiter brought the menus. Big mistake .... unbeknownst to us, when ordering the same food that's on the blackboard, from the menu, one orders the regular size. The meal was huge, and instead of costing $16 (blackboard price) we were charged $24. Reasonable however for such a large serving. The fish was OK, great chips, but a tiny salad raised eyebrows. One friend ordered the chicken cordon bleu which he enjoyed, but was devoid of any salad or vegetables. Another friend loved her calamari. We will return because of the ambian...
We have been dining at the Hellenic Club of Canberra for more than 20 Years each time we visit our friends in Canberra . We have always enjoyed the place and the nice big steaks and the atmosphere.This time again we dine in the completely renovated Hellenic Club. The immense entrance with black and white tiles looks like the entrance of a Casino.The different restaurants look very cosy.The staff are nice but a little bit to casual.The food presented lacks of imagination for the decoration ( lettuce, cucumber tomato )i miss my steak (no more red meat any more)My calamari was a little bit small for the price.In a pub i would have had a better served.Sorry guy you have to improve the food in th...
I see that others have reviewed Fillos and have had a different experience to the Gumbys so if we return perhaps we'll go totally Greek as it is the Greek food which seems to get the most praise.Mr Gumby chose the veal and I can only say that it was tasteless. It needed a decent jus or sauce. Mrs Gumby had the soup and the salted cod. She liked the salted cod but was not so keen on the soup.The ambience was spoilt by the indifferent greeting we got on arrival but I have to say that the person who appeared to be the restaurant manager was very friendly and welcoming.Perhaps they had an off day. Would the Gumbys return? Maybe.

My family and I had a lovely meal at Filos. We had the 7 course banquet which was the most popular dishes on the menu. We were sure that a mistake had been made and they were bringing us the 10 course banquet as the food just kept coming.All the dishes were very Greek authentic and delicious.They supplied doogy bags and we have enough for a Sunday lunch The service was excellent, staff very attentive and friendlyI would highly recommend this restaurant, not fine dining but for the price is excellent value as well as good food.A P
After loving their food van in Braddon, I took my mum to Fillos at the Hellenic Club for dinner and was not disappointed. I had the saganaki to start and moussaka for main, and my mother has the lobster mornay for main (from the specials board and only $40 for a full lobster) and the filo pastry and semolina custard for dessert and we were both loved it. The food was really great and the service was excellent - plenty of people and really attentive. The atmosphere is nice and it wasn't too loud. We'll definitely be back.
Very impressed by the food, services and the presentation. We chose this place for its location and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, the lamb and the mussels are a must. Their selection of Canberra region wine and the knowledge of the waiter on the wine selection was remarkable. Reasonable price and super service. I went there three times in my short visit to Canberra.
We had a family group of 15 go to Fillos Taverna and Bar at the Hellenic Club. The waiter that looked after our table was excellent. All meals came out on time and the food was very nice. I had the spaghettini marina and my wife had the lamb shoulder. Both meals were very nice. I would happily go back again.

This is now my favourite restaurant. Fantastic authentic Greek food that will keep me coming back time and time again. Just love the 7 plate banquet, awesome value for money and let them pick the dishes. You wont be disappointed.
There is a friendly atmosphere at Fillos. It is family-friendly. My pork chops were tender. The accompanying sauce had a tasty flavour. The seating is comfortable. There is plenty of space to move about. I can recommend Fillos.
