Other Greek restaurants in Johannesburg are clearly attempting to follow Mezepoli's lead, but with little success. This restaurant is streaks ahead of any other. Their mezes are awesome, the service phenomenal and, strangely for a Greek restaurant, their Sushi is amazing. I strongly recommend their calamari, chicken souvlaki and fillet. There certainly are no austerity measures when it comes to... More

Fabulous atmosphere, great food choice and plenty of it. Need to book as walk ins rarely get a table. Only downside is service for drinks can be very slow.

This is a super restaurant to recommend , the tapas style food is a great way to spend an evening , it puts you in a sharing mood, The service is good and everything is at your fingertips. Just be careful although the dish prices are reasonably you tend to order more than needed and it shows on the bill

OK, so Melrose Arch is a little clinical but when you can sit outside (inside the acoustics aren't great) and sup on chilled white wine suggested by waiting staff who know their stuff and just nibble until you can't move on tapas style med food, the view could almost be of the ocean...be sure to book if it's warm and...

We booked a table on Saturday 26 Jan for 3h30.We arrived 15 min late. Our table had either been given away or you had not banked that other tables would not have left. We were left standing in the sun twiddling our thumbs with no explanation.When we asked to speak to the manager, we found him scrambling and moving tables... More

The food at Mezepoli is incredible, even though it is classic Greek food, it is beautifully presented and simply different, very tasty. Try the bifteki, minced beef patty with roasted tomato, incredible! Some of the best service in Johannesburg! Really a wonderful place.
