A Little Bit of Everything: Cozco’s Mezze Menu Brings Big Flavour to Sea Point

If variety is the spice of life, then Cozco Mediterranean Cuisine in Sea Point is the whole spice rack.

Their mezze menu is a full-on flavour festival, dishing up small plates with seriously big personality.

Nestled just a stroll from the Sea Point Promenade, Cozco brings that warm, coastal Mediterranean energy straight to Cape Town — with a mezze menu that’s made for sharing, tasting, and ordering “just one more” (at least twice).

• For the meat lovers: From the tender, wine-sautéed Chicken Livers to the melt-in-your-mouth Beef Trinchado, carnivores are in good hands. The Skinny Lamb Chops are a favourite — grilled to perfection and anything but skinny on flavour. Or go Greek with Souvlaki Stix, flame-grilled and full of herby goodness.
• Plant-based bites that don’t play around: The Falafel is crispy, creamy, and served on a cloud of hummus. Dolmades wrap up lemony rice in vine leaves like edible little gifts, while the Spanakopita offers flaky, feta-stuffed comfort.
• Cheese, glorious cheese: Cozco doesn’t hold back — the Burrata is rich and dreamy, the Halloumi is grilled or fried and paired with fig preserve (because why not), and the Peter’s Zucchini Roses are as pretty as they are tasty.
• From the sea: Seafood fans, rejoice. The Calamari Orzo is a standout — grilled tubes tossed in Napolitana orzo, topped with creamy avo slices. And don’t sleep on the crispy Prawn Tempura with aioli. It’s crunchy, golden, and dangerously addictive.
• Need a side? The Parmesan Truffle Fries are the ultimate supporting act — hand-cut, lightly truffled, and dusted with cheese. Enough said.

Whether you’re popping in for a laid-back dinner with friends or planning a full mezze spread with wine and laughter, Cozco’s menu is designed for tasting, passing, and lingering. It’s casual, it’s colourful, and it’s packed with that sun-soaked Mediterranean magic.

One table, ten plates, and no regrets. That’s how it’s done at Cozco.
