Since opening its doors in 2022, Ouzeri has delighted guests with a fresh, vibrant menu inspired by the lively, flavourful bars of Cyprus and Greece. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Mediterranean cuisine or a newcomer, it’s a must-visit spot for anyone seeking authentic flavours with a modern twist.

Ouzeri’s inclusion in the 50 Best Discovery collection speaks volumes about its growing reputation. This exclusive guide features over 3,700 handpicked restaurants, bars, and hotels from around the world. Unlike the competitive 50 Best rankings, which spotlight the world’s top restaurants, the Discovery list focuses on exceptional venues celebrated for their unique dining experiences and exceptional service. Curated by a global network of chefs, restaurateurs, and food critics, being part of this collection is a significant achievement. For Ouzeri, it’s a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to excellence and a sign that it’s quickly becoming one of Cape Town’s premier dining destinations.

From our humble beginnings as a pop-up experience to this incredible milestone, it’s really been a journey of passion and perseverance.” – Chef Nic Charalambous

A journey of passion and perseverance


Chef-owner Nic Charalambous shares, “It’s such an honour to be recognised by the World’s 50 Best Discovery list. This achievement reflects our dedication to creating an authentic experience for our guests. From our humble beginnings as a pop-up experience to this incredible milestone, it’s really been a journey of passion and perseverance.” This recognition speaks to the hard work and commitment of Chef Nic, his business partner Natasha Sideris, and their talented team, including Head Chef Aidan Zieff. Together, they’ve taken Ouzeri from a small pop-up to one of Cape Town’s most sought-after dining spots.
