ABOUT TASSIS GROUP
The first Tassis restaurant was launched in 2011 with resounding success as George’s Paragon Seafood Restaurant opened its doors on Eagle Street Pier. The last decade (and a bit) has seen success story after success story with hospitality brands as the likes of Yamas, Massimo, Rico, Fatcow, Opa and Ariane Vodka delighting the people of South East Queensland.
We think the reason behind the popularity of the Tassis Group brands is a bit of no-brainer. At the core of every Tassis Group brand is an unwavering passion to create unforgettable experiences for our customers.
