A cherished family restaurant that is the “best night out” has been at centre of nearly 50 years of memories for generations of Liverpool customers
One of the oldest restaurants in operation in the city, Zorbas Restaurant on Leece Street first opened its doors back in 1974 and has seen its immediate surroundings change dramatically. After visiting Liverpool in the early seventies, owner Haralambos Michael, known to many as Michael, decided to take his love of food and talent as a chef to transform his restaurant into the iconic business we know today.
Michael's wife, Louisa, 65, who is also originally from Cyprus, came to Liverpool a few years later and said after decades living here, the family now call themselves "Greek Scousers." Louisa said the family and business have come to love the and its offer, adding: "Liverpool is a city of music, a city of art, it’s the place Liverpool. We've got LIPA, the Philharmonic, it's an amazing city.”
