Located in the Rundle Street precinct since 1995, Eros Ouzeri, one of the most iconic restaurants in Adelaide’s East End, has closed its doors after 20 years of operation.
Owner George Michail, who purchased the restaurant in 2007 from restaurateur Jim Dimitropoulos, ceased trading after going into liquidation.
A notice displayed on the business’ front door confirms that the lease of the premises has been terminated as a result of unpaid rent.
Greek Australian restaurateur Jim Dimitropoulos opened Eros Ouzeri in 1995 alongside Eros Kafe, which he still owns and continues to operate successfully as a family business.
According to local press, landlord Steve Maras, of Maras Group, confirmed that the Eros Ouzeri premises went up for lease earlier this week, and that they are now looking to secure a high-quality operator to deliver a restaurant similar to the already existing venues in the East End of the Rundle Street precinct.
He also confirmed that the news has no relevance to Eros Kafé.
