The 15 Best Restaurants In Cape Town - Cape Town - The Infatuation

"You probably wouldn’t fly to Cape Town just to eat Greek food. But if you did, this spot wouldn’t disappoint. The breezy, whitewashed, glass-fronted restaurant feels like it’s straight out of Cyprus, but in many ways, it also fits right in: Ouzeri has become known for incorporating local ingredients into its traditional Greek dishes. Expect things like mint-dressed halloumi sourced from a microdairy an hour north of the city, or juicy Cape smoked mussels with beans and saffron broth. No matter how many times we go for dinner or how often the menu changes, the quality is consistent, and as we’re walking out the door, we’re always thinking about our next visit." - mary holland

"Capetonians can’t seem to get enough of chef Nic Charalambous’s food, which draws inspiration from his family’s Cypriot heritage. Originally a pop-up, Ouzeri has now become a permanent restaurant set on Wale Street in downtown Cape Town. Located inside a bright white glass-fronted space, the restaurant feels like a casual Cypriot cafe, with simple wooden chairs and woven cushions set along banquette seating. The menu has a variety of small plates, like halloumi made by Charalambous’s sister-in-law, baked and served with dried honey and oregano, as well as grilled sardines with skordalia (garlic mashed potatoes) and fennel salad. It’s all delicious." - Mary Holland

A good place to have dinner, meals are light yet filling .The ambiance is good in the evening. There is music, but the volume is okay for a conversation, while eating. The staff is. Over the top and very knowledgeable.Also the manager was great! 🔥 You can smoke outside in between your meals Reservations is a must

Some of the better food we had in cape town but the service was the real star. Went for dinner and tried several dishes. Would go again.

The food here is exceptional! Usually places that serve tapas style food are a mix or excellent and underwhelming plates. All these small dishes knocked it out of the park. Unfortunately the desserts weren’t great. Regardless, I highly recommend and will be back!!

The food, ambience, service was a beautiful delight. I would highly recommend Ouzeri. We were seated next to the window-side for two. We tried five dishes, all being delicately executed with amazing flavor profiles. The grilled fish was a star, the eliopita, grilled cabbages, green tomatos chef’s kiss.

Always always a top favorite restaurant in Cape Town. *just be sure to make a booking!* The service is incredible, the atmosphere is lovely, and the menu never ceases to amaze. I always love the cream of the crop items featured on the menu as well as the dumplings. In the summer, their tomato dish is fabulous. Their vegetarian options are always delicious- especially if they have a chickpea or lentil dish. The eliopita is also a necessary order every time. Highly recommend Ouzeri to everyone— we bring all of our foreign visitors here and it’s always impressive and a favorite to them as well. 💙

Exceptionally executed small plate food. Amazing balance of flavors. The chefs passion shines through. Definitely a must visit dining spot in ct, it stands high up amongst the amazing cuisine the city offers. Make the reservation.

Really yummy take on Greek food - we loved the time, the prawn, the peas and broad beans, the carrot orzo, the mushroom skewers and the rice pudding. Our server was very friendly and lovely, and the drinks are amazing. Highly recommend!
