Zigi's Art & Wine Cheese Bar

The name says it all. This is a very diverse place! Even though it 's called an Art Wine Cheese Bar it has great food as well with an Ausraeli theme but adding 'Restaurant ' may make the name just to long.

It’s early on a Friday evening and I am finishing my working week at a quaint and cosy wine bar in Chippendale. The entrance is in a small lane off Abercrombie Street. Not exactly a venue you would stumble across without knowing it is there but the Owner Zigi Ozeri has boosted his chances by covering the surrounding lanes with chalk messages to draw you in.

An absolute hidden gem with great vibes and great staff. I booked the outdoor area on a Thursday night for a group of 15 and Zigi's completely exceeded our expectations. The outdoor area was very cosy and charming decked out with fairy lights and was completely covered to protect us from the rain. It was intimate yet spacious enough for us to be comfortable. The service was also top notch. As soon as we arrived, Antony (the bartender made us feel very welcome and was the reason why people lingered around the bar for a while when they went to get more drinks (as they were having such a terrific time talking to him! . Antony was very helpful in recommending drinks and food (which were all reasonably priced get the crispy cauliflower bites and the mixed dips! Zigi also came by to say a warm hello to us and to make sure we were having a great time (which we were . In fact, all of us had such great time that I've already made our next booking to go back!

We felt right at home at Zigi's walking in from the rain to a warm welcome started the night off perfectly. No surprise that the wine selection is fantastic but we were amazed by the variety of food on the menu as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the brisket, duck pancakes, raclette and arancini. It's been awhile since I've visited a place where I felt so comfortable and relaxed the Zigi's team have created something special in such a great space and I look forward to visiting them again, whatever the weather!
