Operated by the same family since 1978, the mighty Stalactites has taught generations of Melburnians to appreciate the beauty of properly cooked and assembled souvlaki, gyros, moussaka and calamari. The famed plaster ceiling that gives this corner restaurant its name is as much an architectural gem as the Princess Theatre, while the action beneath it, particularly late at night, is its own kind of drama.
