About Vrina Mezze Bar
Vrina Mezze Bar is a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant and bar on Grand Parade in Parrearra, facing the waters around Kawana Island. It opens for breakfast and lunch daily, stays open into the evening later in the week, and has live music by the water. There are three ways to book a function. The private dining room is a blush-toned space with curved walls, its own bar and soft lighting, and it holds groups of 20 to 40. The waterfront terrace looks across the water and a line of trees, with clear roll-down blinds when the weather turns, and the whole restaurant can be taken over for a larger event. The kitchen works with local produce and cooks dishes designed for sharing. Function menus are seated feasts served to the middle of the table, from dips, souvlaki skewers and lemon potatoes up to a menu of crispy pork belly, chilli-lemon prawns and haloumi chips. Drinks run on packages of wine, beer and soft drinks for the first two hours, with spirits and a first-hour cocktail upgrade available on top. Celebration cakes can be brought in with approval, but no other outside food or drink. Weddings sit alongside birthdays, engagements and work celebrations, and the terrace is often styled for ceremonies and long reception tables. For casual work events there are grazing boards and breakfast platters. Functions start at 20 guests and are secured with a deposit against a prepaid minimum spend. Send an enquiry with your date, guest numbers and the type of celebration, and the team will reply within two days to finalise the menu.
