Kepos Street Kitchen to Open Second Eatery in Waterloo
A little piece of old Jerusalem is coming to Danks Street.
With dozens of diners filing in at every meal, Kepos Street Kitchen has certainly cemented its position on Sydney diners' palates. And now, it's ready to multiply. Restaurant owner-chef Michael Rantissi has announced that Kepos is opening a second incarnation of its tasty self in Danks Street, Waterloo.
Set to open just after Easter in Danks's Casba development, the new eatery will be named Kepos & Co. "[It] will look onto palm trees and a little pond," Rantissi told Good Food. "We’ve gone for a look that’ll be like old Jerusalem."
Meanwhile, the menu will stick with the Kitchen’s winning Mediterranean theme, but delve into new territory. "I want to explore another side of the Mediterranean and plan to have mulukhiyah on the menu," Rantissi said. "In Egypt they do it with rabbit, we'll do it with wagyu."
Since opening in November 2012, Kepos Street Kitchen has become one of Sydney’s favourite restaurants. Rantissi, who grew up in Tel Aviv, combines Mediterranean cuisine with Middle Eastern influences, bringing together both classical training and new ideas. This year, the restaurant was listed as one of the Top 500 Restaurants in Australia by the Australian Financial Review.
