Foti & Friends: Your New Bayside Go-To for Authentic Greek Lunch & Treats
Looking for a quick, delicious, and authentically Greek lunch or a sweet treat by the bay? Look no further than Foti & Friends, the newest cafe and deli to grace the bayside scene! Opened in March 2025, this charming spot is already making waves with its convenient grab-and-go options and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The story behind Foti & Friends is as heartwarming as the food itself. Suzie Posnakidis, a savvy businesswoman who previously ran a successful protein bar company, noticed a delightful pattern: she was constantly preparing lunch for her son, Foti, and his friends. Realising her natural hospitality and love for Greek cuisine could be shared with a wider audience, she made the inspired decision to transform her business focus.
What's on the Menu? Forget bland, generic lunch options! Foti & Friends specialises in authentic Greek dishes, perfect for a satisfying midday meal or a delightful afternoon pick-me-up. Think flavour-packed Greek salads bursting with fresh, local ingredients, hearty spanakopita (spinach pie) and tiropita (cheese pie) that melt in your mouth, and delicious souvlaki wraps brimming with tender meat and vibrant tzatziki sauce.
But it's not just about savoury delights. Foti & Friends also boasts a tempting selection of Greek sweets. Indulge in classic baklava, rich and syrupy with layers of flaky pastry and nuts, or try a traditional galaktoboureko, a creamy custard pie encased in crispy filo dough. Whether you have a sweet tooth or a savoury craving, there's something to please everyone.
