GRK Meze Grill will rise from the ashes of Ble Restaurant on Friday, the hatted restaurant that recently closed its doors in Ramsgate.

With Ble chef Natalia Gaspari​ departing for Melbourne, where she has plans to find a new home for her lobster and haloumi ravioli and open her own restaurant, Ble owner Arthur Balayannis​ is rebooting.

Balayannis, who owns GRK Souvlaki in Mascot, will mix a little of its menu with Athens street food and meze. He's also called in Alpha chef Peter Conistis. "I won't be actively involved," Conistis says. "I'm just helping out a mate."

Conistis has created the meze menu, and given the gyros a makeover. When the doors reopen, there'll be a beef brisket version with red wine glaze and a mushroom and root vegetable gyro with a tahini crust.
