A family committed to preserving the past and celebrating the now

Meaning ‘salty’ in Greek, Almyra reflects the heritage of the owners who love simple, flavour-filled food and the comfort felt sharing family dishes with the people you love. 

We pay homage to the past but our style of cuisine and décor is contemporary. While our dishes draw inspiration from Australia’s multicultural society, they are predominantly Mediterranean, a cuisine synonymous with generosity, freshness and flavour.

Our space is modern and welcoming featuring textures and colours that reflect the elements of air, fire, water and whitewashed driftwood.

 

The Story of Almyra

Almyra is the realisation of a vision – to ensure Lorne’s Sea Baths Precinct has a restaurant worthy of its history and location. The Landos family’s connection to Lorne dates back five decades to when Andrew would enjoy school holidays camping with his family at the caravan park. 

In 1993, the owners opened the original Lorne Ovenhouse that housed the first woodfired oven on the Surf Coast and served gourmet pizza along with a range of char grilled dishes. The family have run many successful businesses over the years including the B-Bar and Grill within the walls of the site’s original kiosk. 

For the reopening Almyra in January 2021 felt like coming full circle – back to the fire, back to the wood oven, back to providing that warm Greek spirit of generosity and great food to Lorne’s residents and visitors.

Featuring textures and colours that reflect the elements of air, fire, water and whitewashed driftwood, Almyra is modern & welcoming.

Our food philosophy

We believe that food and wine are the universal language of love. We want our delicious dishes to bring people together – to connect, share stories and celebrate milestones. 

If you have the best produce, you don’t need to overcomplicate the cooking process. You just need to let the ingredients shine. 

We celebrate the best local produce by cooking it with restraint. Fire is used to extract maximum flavour along with thoughtful seasoning, salt being the hero. Our menu includes a mix of signature and seasonal dishes, many designed for sharing with the people you love. 

We’d love to welcome you to Almyra so you can discover our food, service and stylish surrounds.
