The European
This artwork reflects the layered history of one of Melbourne's most cherished culinary landmarks. Once home to The European, a beloved institution known for its old-world charm, white tablecloths, and Eurocentric menu, the venue was a haven for those seeking timeless sophistication and quietly confident hospitality.
Now reimagined as Kafeneion 'Emeis & Emeis', the space breathes new life into its historic walls. Where once clinked wine glasses over steak frites, now echo the laughter and warmth of a modern Greek kafeneion. The transformation honors the past while embracing a future rooted in shared meals, tradition, and community.
This piece serves as a tribute to Melbourne's evolving culinary narrative—where memory and innovation sit at the same table.
