Georges Paragon Seafood Restaurant - Greek Style
October 19th 2009 03:47
Georges Paragon Seafood Restaurant has been an institution in Sanctuary Cove for over twenty years. Now George Tassis has four of a kind with three new additions at Southport, Kingscliff and Mt Tambourine.
Georges Paragon is famous for introducing half price lunches. The full price menu is comparative to other fine dining restaurants, so the lunchtime discount is genuine.
The menu is predominantly seafood with Greek influence. The seafood can be as simple as a serve of tender fried calamari to a complete hot and cold seafood platter for two. Lobster mornay, char grilled baby octopus, prawns, oysters, and my favorite, a whole grilled sole, are all available along with dozens of other seafood delicacies.
Traditional Greek specialties are also on offer, including souvlaki, spanikopita, mousaka and tzatziki. If you don’t know a dolmathe from a zorba there is a Greek Hor’s D’oeuvres platter that has a sample of everything.
Despite a relatively extensive cellar of local and imported wines, the wine list sadly lacks a botrytis dessert wine. Happily, the manager was able to provide a Greek liqueur, on the house, to accompany my peach and pistachio dessert.
I have been to Georges Paragon at Sanctuary Cove many times, but this was my first visit to the Southport restaurant, opposite the brand new 42 million dollar Broadwater Parklands. I hope to be back soon.
