About this spot
Ouzeri brings the authentic smoky aroma of a Greek taverna directly to the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap, where you should order an ouzo and ask for meze platters piled high with grilled octopus and saganaki. The small plates are designed for sharing among friends, so expect to dive into dolmades, spanakopita, and creamy mussels before ordering your main course.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a bottle of ouzo at the start to toast with locals before diving into the meze spread.
- Ask for extra lemon juice on your grilled octopus to cut through the olive oil richness.
- Save room for baklava as the final sweet, but be prepared to fight over the last piece.
