Freshness, simplicity, and a light touch – these are the guiding principles behind Mezepoli, a restaurant that invites you to savour the vibrant tapestry of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian flavours.

Their Story: A Legacy of Passion
Born from a deep love for the vibrant Mediterranean way of life, Mezepoli was established over a decade ago. Over the years, they have garnered a reputation for consistently exceptional food, a chic yet comfortable atmosphere, and impeccable service. Their beautifully designed space at Melrose Arch, a prestigious Johannesburg shopping and leisure destination, makes Mezepoli a perfect choice for any occasion.
Founded by Angelo Haitas and Margarita Tsangaris-Scherf, the visionaries behind the renowned Plaka restaurants, Mezepoli continues their legacy as one of Johannesburg’s most cherished eateries.
The Mezepoli Philosophy: Savour the Moment
At Mezepoli, they believe in embracing the present moment and indulging in the simple pleasures life offers. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely meal with loved ones, unwinding with a special glass of wine and a selection of meze after a busy day, or simply grabbing a quick coffee catch-up, they invite you to slow down, savour the moment, and create lasting memories.


A Symphony of Flavours on a Plate
If you’re new to Mezepoli, prepare to embark on a delightful culinary adventure. The heart of their experience lies in the concept of meze – an abundance of smaller plates designed for sharing. This approach allows you to explore a kaleidoscope of colours, textures, and tastes, savouring each bite with friends or family.
Their extensive meze menu is a fusion of the best the Mediterranean and Middle East have to offer, presented with a touch of modern simplicity. From classic hummus and dolmades to more adventurous offerings, there’s something to tantalise every palate.
Beyond the Meze: A Culinary Canvas
While the meze takes center stage, Mezepoli offers a wider culinary canvas. For sushi aficionados, they boast some of the freshest selections in town. Choose from an array of options, including a Salmon & Avocado platter that consists of Rainbow Rolls, Tuna Rolls, and Tempura Prawn Rolls.
And to round off your perfect Mezepoli experience, don’t skip dessert! They take pride in their offerings, with their tiramisu being a local favourite. After all, life is simply too short to deny yourself a sweet indulgence.


Celebrating in Style
Mezepoli’s expansive menu, extensive wine and cocktail list, and relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance create the perfect setting for any celebration or event. With a spacious environment and dedicated staff, they take the stress out of hosting your next special occasion.
