The Real Greek selects Liverpool ONE for debut site in the city

Grosvenor has announced that authentic Greek restaurant, The Real Greek, is to launch its debut site in the city at Liverpool ONE.  Occupying a 3,900 sq ft unit on Paradise Street, the Fulham Shore-owned brand is the eleventh F&B and leisure operator to commit to the destination so far this year, and takes the total area of F&B and leisure space signed or opened at Liverpool ONE in 2023 to 156,000 sq ft.

In addition to The Real Greek, Turtle Bay, the popular Caribbean restaurant and bar, has reaffirmed its commitment to the scheme by upsizing its existing unit on Hanover Street to create a 3,700 sq ft flagship. Loretta’s Parkside Tavern, an independent café cocktail bar, has also recently opened in 1,600 sq ft on Chavasse Park.

Rob Deacon, Asset Management Director at Grosvenor, commented: “The Real Greek is an excellent addition to Liverpool ONE’s diverse selection of F&B operators, offering yet another unique option for our visitors. Along with the fantastic brands to have committed to the destination this year, including Gravity MAX and Flight Club, The Real Greek’s debut is further compelling evidence of the sustained demand for Liverpool ONE among leading operators.”

The Real Greek will deliver an authentic Greek dining experience, serving cold and hot meze, Souvlaki Wraps and Greek salads, as well as sweet Greek treats such as Baklava. Diners will also enjoy a menu of Greek drinks, from Moschofilero to Mavrodaphne wine, Mythos beer, and classic aperitifs such as Tsipouro and Ouzo.

With 162 covers, including 38 outside, the space will be fitted out in The Real Greek’s signature contemporary style, featuring white and blue accents throughout, and a range of Mediterranean-inspired art and photography.

Nabil Mankarious, Managing Director at The Real Greek, added: “We have always been keen to expand to Liverpool, as it is renowned for its diverse and high-quality hospitality scene, so securing a home for our new restaurant right in the heart of Liverpool ONE is a hugely exciting announcement for us. We are thrilled to be making our debut in this vibrant city, and can’t wait to introduce our authentic Greek flavours to a brand-new audience.”
