Ouezeri

Ouzeri, located at 58 Wale Street in Cape Town’s city centre, is a contemporary restaurant offering a modern take on traditional regional recipes from Cyprus and Greece.

The establishment began as a series of pop-up events by chef-owner Nic Charalambous, who sought to spotlight Cypriot cuisine and present a fresh perspective on Greek food in South Africa. Drawing inspiration from his travels and family recipes, Charalambous has crafted a menu that balances authenticity with modern culinary techniques. The restaurant’s seasonal menu is sourced from top local producers and complemented by a carefully-selected wine list featuring modern South African classics.

The ambiance is airy and spacious, providing a welcoming atmosphere for diners. Patrons have praised Ouzeri for its impeccable service, authentic decor, and flavourful mezze-style dishes that offer unique tastes.
