The Chapel
/
Windsor’s Chapel Street is known for its vibrant scene, but The Chapel offers something entirely unique—a dining experience that merges art, music, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine into a fully immersive adventure.
Created by cousins Lee Theodoridis and Dimitri Degrenis, The Chapel is a reflection of their deep-rooted passion for food and hospitality. Their vision goes beyond just serving great meals; they've crafted a space where every detail, from the lighting to the menu, has been thoughtfully designed to engage all your senses.
Stepping into The Chapel feels like entering a futuristic, dystopian world, far removed from the busy streets of Windsor. The venue's design draws inspiration from Stockholm's nightlife, with a striking RGB lighting system that bathes the space in red and purple hues. This lighting not only adds drama but also interacts with the textured stone tiles and custom murals by local tattoo artist Mayonaize, creating an atmosphere that is both edgy and inviting.
The Chapel's menu is a celebration of the owners' Mediterranean heritage, featuring share plates that evoke the warmth and connection of family dining. Dishes like barbequed pumpkin with whipped feta and pickled pumpkin seeds, prawn dolma with buttermilk and tarragon, and slow-roasted lamb shoulder with chermoula highlight the robust flavors of the Mediterranean, while desserts like the reimagined Greek rice pudding, rizogalo, offer a modern twist on traditional favorites.
Complementing the food is an innovative cocktail program, overseen by Melbourne bar scene veteran Marc Frew. The drinks are crafted to be as creative as the venue itself, with standout options like the Neon West—a blend of white rum, green chartreuse, and lime marmalade—and the Part-Time God, featuring vodka, lime, pineapple, lavender, and quillaia.
Music is integral to the experience at The Chapel, with live DJ sets that range from neo-jazz to Detroit house, providing a dynamic soundtrack to your evening. On Thursday through Sunday nights, the venue comes alive with energy, and the Sunday Service series focuses on feel-good music that leaves a lasting impression.
With a capacity of 117 and a cozy function room for 30, The Chapel is set to become a landmark on Windsor’s dining scene. It offers not just a meal, but a journey—where food, art, and music converge to create an unforgettable experience.
For those seeking an escape from the ordinary, The Chapel in Windsor is more than just a place to dine; it's a destination where all your senses are invited to explore and enjoy.
